are raising prices Kroger raised prices and inventory got so stagnant I had to return two items in one week .A jar of Sauerkraut that was so moldy it made me sick to look at it .not obvious until I opened it…A 5 lb bag of Onions they recalled due to Salmonella.
Switched to a new Publix store nearby ..everything was so clean…so far !A can of soup went from 1.50 to 1.99 at Kroger and the shelf was so full it looked like the public refused to pay..not a can missing from the stack…..When I was in the food business I always watched the turnover first ..thats how freshness happens ..its not from advertising…I dont eat out anymore ,but the first thing I always looked for ..a busy place is always faster turnover ,fresher food. “Ya better watch use by dates “its going to get more importment “..My wife wanted a German chocolate cake ,sold as Half a cake until I told her..when they sell half a cake ..they change the use by date to the day they cut it in half….If it dont sell,cut it in half and they can re date it ! UGH !
