Our grocery stores here aren't in real competition because they don't have to be. Due to our archaic liquor laws that don't allow wine and high-octane beer to be sold in the grocery stores, ones like Kroger just don't build here, so that helps keep the market uncompetitive. So far, the liquor lobby (and I suspect the grocery lobby) have been successful in keeping it this way. Albertson's and Homeland are gone (they were super high priced anyway), so we are basically left with WalMart, Food Pyramid and a locallly owned chain (Reasor's). Although the prices at Reasor's are somewhat higher than WalMart, I shop there as much as I can, preferring to spend my $$ at a local business. 2012-12-24 14:27:09
