So we did make it to the store last night. The BF's car is at the dealers so he got a Dodge Charger rental and he had to take me for a ride, so we went to the store after dinner. I love it when I get to go twice in one day, ugh.
I've been boycotting one of the local supermarkets for months now, there are multiple reasons. Its one of those stores where in order to get the sale items, you must have one of their stupid "club cards". This gimmick has started to bother me more and more lately. Why do I need to sign up for one of your cards? So you can sell all the information you get on what I buy, when I buy and how often I buy certain products? I didn't sign up for you to make money off my consumer spending habits, I HAD to sign up to get your shitty deals.
A main source of my contempt is that I grew up with the Mecca of all supermarkets: Wegman's. To me Wegman's is the end all, be all of supermarkets, I could get lost for hours in one of those stores. Now that will never happen where I live now because of this "gentleman's agreement" that Wegman's has with this local supermarket, I don't know the specifics, but there is no Wegman's any where near this area. There are Wegman's now in NJ, PA, MD and VA but I can't get one?!?!?! This pisses me off to no end. I have to suffer with the sub-par grocery stores in this area with no chance of there ever being a Wegman's??? I'm only slightly bitter about this, can you tell?
What I don't get is that the local grocery store has stores in areas where there are Wegman's. How is that fair? Oh, that's right, they suck, so Wegman's is not too worried about their competition.
Since I don't see myself moving out of the area, I guess I will have to make due with what I have. I just wish that maybe someday, I could have a Wegman's in the area to shop at.
It's my grocery dream.
