Here in oh-so-cosmopolitan south Eugene we have a choice between Market of Choice (where people pay double to pretend they are shopping in Europe), SafewAlbertson's (giant 7-11s), and real 7-11s. To get to a Costco or Winco you have to drive at least 7 miles and 30 minutes. But here's why I make the drive:You got to do what you've got to do man! I'm mainly about the prices. Really glad I've got Winco. But then I drive past an Albertson's, Safeway and Fred Meyer to get to Winco. I've really come to prefer the Wallmart-esque ambiance of Winco. Here in the city the people that shop Winco are there to save money. Not the kind of people that seem sucked in by stoopid commercials.
Reser's potato salad - $5.95 Winco, $9.95 Safeway
Breyer's ice cream - $2.97 Winco, $6.95 Safeway
Gala apples - $.88/lb Winco, $1.99 Safeway
Chicken thighs - $1.48/lb Winco, $2.99/lb Safeway
Milk - $3.49 Winco, $5.99 Safeway
Total: $20.31 Winco, $41.79 Safeway
And the city council can't figure out why there's so much cross town traffic and congestion all the time.
