I have indeed! It rocks, but is more expensive than Spec's - the cheeses are about a buck, buck-fifty a pound higher there than Spec's. Just depends on whether I feel like making the drive. Sometimes convenience trumps price.
(My other problem with Central Market is that the store is built in a weird maze; I have trouble navigating it and am usually exasperated by the time I'm ready to check out.)
The Central Market maze is intentional.
Makes you walk the entire store before checking out.
Still fun to go to when one is not in a hurry.
Yeah, it is a bit exasperating - BUT, there is a back way which is a direct beeline to the cheese section from the take-out meals showcase area! I'll leave cracker crumbs for you next time, lol.
I absolutely never think of going to Spec's - well, I can't these days, anyway - but when I did, wowee. In the old days, it was European Imports that was just like that - in fact, I think that's who bought them out, long ago.
Luckily, my little neighborhood mom&pop has a pretty good selection, so I'm headed that way shortly.
