Kroger is unionized, and on a death spiral... Yes.
When we moved back to SE Texas, Kroger was the only game in town. Then HEB opened stores in the area.
Week to week purchases cost a lot less at the HEB stores.
Also I found out that the meat buyers for Kroger are based out of Ohio. HEB’s meat buyers are out of San Antonio.
Better meat and lower priced.
I picked up a couple of Wagu steaks last night (1 pound total) for about 12 bucks.
Ah-— Texas. Texas bred and raised/harvested wagu, wow. Great price and product.
