The topics that don’t come up over a cuppa.
This past weekend it was the subject of groceries and that of course led to the question, “What local grocery store is your favourite?”
Safeway was a clear winner in the gathered crowd, but I suspect that is due to the ages of those in attendance. A younger crowd might think much differently.
Safeway you see, is the oldest of the food stores in the city and likely in the province for that matter, thus those who are older have an allegiance to Safeway, if for no other reason, habit.
The other stores are relatively new players compared to Safeway, like Real Canadian Superstore, (I call it Stupid Store), Sobey’s, (Nearly everyone I know still calls it the IGA) and Save On Foods, part of the Overwaitea group out of BC. (I never could understand how anyone could call a food store Overwaitea. It sounds like a place for fat people to shop, but I digress.) And last, but not least Wal*Mart.
So, St. Albert, who has the best food store in the city?
Since I can’t run polls on this site yet, (it’s one part of the technology I have yet to figure out), I can indeed run a poll on our old site which we still use for some purposes that shall remain a secret.
Here is a link to the actual poll.
Please take a minute to select your favourite and we’ll report back with the results. The poll will remain open until Monday noon.
And thanks in advance folks.
