Hello, fellow grocery shoppers, lol! We have one Albertson's in our area and the prices are unbelievable, and you have to use their special store card to get that $8.99/lb. steak. We have no grocery competition left in this area since Winn-Dixie pulled out a few months ago. HEB has a virtual monopoly with "special" pricing for our market. I swear they are pulling older merchandise off the shelves in San Antonio and Austin and sending it to Waco area stores. Dairy items are all at or very close to the pull date and the produce is literally rotten and swarming with fruit flies. The store near me is poorly stocked, the help is rude, and I am po'd everytime I have to go in there. Praying we get some competition some day.

Used to shop at HEB all the time when I lived in Boerne and would go to Albertson's occasionally.

Then came up here to Norman and they had Albertsons and then they built a second Albertersons. Thought their prices were high when I first moved here but they are worse now!

They did get competition with two Super Walmarts that came to town after they built the second store which have turned out to be very good grocery stores with fresh produce, etc which actually shocked me. Our three IGA stores are pretty competitive. Also have a chain called Homeland. So competition came to Norman and Albertson's had to cut their prices some but they are still higher than anyone else. I shop very little at Albertson's because of their prices -- call it my mini protest against them!
