Albertsons, as it's the only market within 40 miles of here. Sometimes the wife goes to Cosco or Sams in closer to Boise or about once a month or so, she'll go into Oregon for a large shopping buying spree as they have no sales tax. NO SALES TAX FTW!!!!!!!

Wow, you guys are really bringing back some old memories with this thread. I lived in Cerritos through the 80s. My girlfriend used to work at that pizza place.

I used to buy Star Wars action figures at Alpha Beta. And for some reason I would always get free cookies from their bakery. That's about as far as my Alpha Beta memories go...

If I could buy everything at Trader Joe's, I would.

But I can't, so I get the rest at Ralph's.

Whole Foods pisses me off.

i used to get a free cookie every weekend from the lady at the bakery at hughes market when i was a little kid. whenever i think about it i crave one, it's a ridged butter cookie with flat rainbow sprinkles. i don't think anyone makes them anymore though. :(

why does whole foods piss you off? (just curious).

My kids get free cookies at the bakery in Stater Bros.

We shop at Stater Bros, Vons, Costco, Henry's and Winco.

Because I can't afford to shop there.
