Con's
1.There prices suck on most items
2. Produce is just okay and super pricey
3.they only have one maybe two check out stands open a day
4.they don't stock there shelves well, I bought out dated butter milk from there before and another time crackers
5.12ish you get the high school kid crowd that sucks
Albertson's
I don't shop at albertsons very often, there is not one in my town. I am not to sure on there pros and Cons I do have a Pro on Albertsons though
Pro
1. THERE DELI CHICKEN IS YUMMY
THRIFTWAY
lol I am laughing yes... We have the local Cutsforth Thriftway hmmm.. where do I begin. Canby's Thriftway has been around many many many years and is owned by Local Canbians (LOL).. There are many Pro's and Cons. The usual shoppers at Thriftway are the old folk of canby that are true supporters of keeping Thriftway open, which is great, nobody wants to see a business that has been around for as long as they have go out of business AND They are supporters of the local farmers.. That said here are my P's and C's
Pro's
1.There produce is out of this world WHEN IN SEASON
2.There meats are great
3. The New Canby Theater is right next door, makes it easy to run to Thriftway and gets snacks and go to the theater
4.has a great coffee shop in there store
5. There New deli is great
6. This one is for you Trish cause you are right about there customer service :) THERE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS OUTSTANDING!
CONS
1. THERE PRICES ARE CRAZY EXPENSIVE CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY
2.When there produce is not in season it is GROSS
FRED MEYERS
We have a Freddy's in Canby, which I must say is super nice :) Its nice to be able to run over there and get grocery's and clothing items all in stop.There customer service is a whole nother story, u will just have to read my con's..
PRO'S
1. Super store, grocery shop and clothing shop etc... in one stop
2. Fred's coupons are great,more for the buck
3.produce is great
4. When there taking out the old stock like clothing you can get some killer deals (60-75% off)
CONS
1. Meat is alright, I don't really buy much meat there
2.There clothes are expensive (when there not on sale)
3.always super crowded
4.Toiletries are a little over priced
5. the kids that they higher are usually hungover and talk to customers about how hungover they are
6.I Was in there one time in the purse section and one of the employees was complaining about what pigs customers are and she was not being hush hush about it either
WINCO
I don't get out to Winco foods as much, Josh always encourages me to shop there,its REALLY not convenient for me, its like a half hour drive.
P's and C's
PROS
1.You get more for your buck
and that's all the P's I have for Winco
CON'S
1.over over crowded, I am sure if the fire Marshall was there that they would be way over there people limit
2.I am being bratty and spoiled when I write this but I HATE TO BAG MY OWN GROCERIES,
3.There products are not that great. Do you ever wonder where all the groceries go when they are about to expire at the other stores, I am sure they get sent to Winco,lol!
WALMART-
Oh my gosh dooo I looovvvee mmmeeee some Walmart. It is also a one stop shop.Its only like a fifteen minute drive for me,not to bad. I do get in to some big time trouble from the man (hubby) when I go to walmart,lol!
P's And C's
Pros
1. One stop shop
2. I do like there Great Value brand (chips, frozen entrees,bread, Toiletries etc..)
3.Prices are great
C's
1. There meat is okay but you have to be there right as they put it out or you are left with bare shelves.Nobody wants to eat bare shelves for dinner :)
2.Produce is Gross
3. sooo sooo sooo crowded, where the heck is that Fire Marshall :)
4. check out lines are insane
5. adult clothing does not have a life span on it or a waist span (umm something like that ha ha)
Well as you can tell I am super bored today :)
Hope everyone has a great day!

OK--- on Thriftway you forgot a MAJOR one that makes me want to shop there before any other one but my usual (Freds)--- their customer service ROCKS!!! Everything they have Fresh- is FResh! but yes VERY overpriced- except produce which is a good deal.
And I totally agree with you on some of the Freds employees! But I have to say getting a "good deal" on clothes at Freddies (60-75% off) is really like getting it at normal price with how overpriced they are
there is my two cents :) Love this post!! We are dang lucky we have three to choose from right in this lil ole town and some more close by!
I love your post today too, I like Albertsons for more than the deli chicken (and yes its good) but they ususaly have some good sales stuff and the meat prices are good too. Safeway, you were right on, and Thriftway has got the best chicken pasta salad, its ymmmmmm and we like our Canby down home stores. :)
You're so funny. I like reading you're reviews! I do my bulk shopping at winco but only for certain things. I refuse to by meat there! I hate their store brand it's gross I won't tough it.,I do most of my shopping at Albertsons because it's 5 minutes away from my house.
Hi Cindy! These reviews were so funny....and true! I live in a pretty small town so I'm basically stuck with Safeway, but I follow coupon blogs and it ends up being pretty inexpensive.
