[quote=jimmyle]I never shop Vons and Ralphs again. I either shop at Asian Supermarkets, Costco or Walmart. I usually save about 20 to 25% ($150/month) by not shopping at Vons and Ralphs.

Why should I spend $150 extra monthly to help unionized workers at Vons and Ralphs to bag grocery, stock the shelves or clean the floor when they can hire people to do the same things for half the cost? The same thing is happening at unionized GM and Chrysler, why should tax payers giving the two companies more than $50 bil so uneducated workers can make $30/hour in wages + $35/hour in benefits? Can you believe benefits cost more than the salary? Mine is about 35% of my salary and I am happy.[/quote]

You really need to be careful about shopping for el-cheapo food, especially if the food is from overseas. I wouldn’t touch seafood from china no matter how cheap. If you’re interested why, do some research. It’s just gross. Same could be said for juices made from concentrate overseas.

I was very very happy when Treetop started making their apple juices from USA apples only again. (see the fine print on the bottles).
