There is this place where I buy my meat, I forgot what it's called but it's at the corner of Westpark/Gessner to the left of the post office. Those meat are phenomenal. I go there all the time to buy my meet whenever I have a bbq. It's already seasoned so all you gotta do is burn it on a grill. I tell my friends I do it myself and now they all think I'm like some kinda genius chef.
Meat: Central Market (Pete's Fine Meats, Hebert's, & Airline Seafood on occasion) Bread: CM & Hot Bagel Shop Produce: CM, Fiesta (W.Alab & Dunlavy), Central City Coop Dairy: CM Dry Goods: Fiesta, certain stuff (hippie cereal & crackers) at CM Wine & Beer: CM, Fiesta, Specs
in austin.... lately, just whole foods. randalls or HEB when i need to buy the regular stuff. but i go to the whole foods downtown 2 or 3 times a week after work.
This is true. In a marketing class I took last semester we studied these and actually did field tests. The only store in my town that offers these cards is Kroger. We listed 50 items that were in the store that could be discounted with those cards. Out of those 50, 32 of the items could be found at lower prices at some other store without a card. 14 of the items could be found at the same price. So there were really only 4 items you could really save money on and the saving could be measured in cents not dollars.
Oh in reference to food tax that me and MadMax were discussing on the first couple of pages, does Texas not have a food tax at all or is it just on certain item. If it is just on certain items, what is tax-free?
Any hot food that is prepared in the store is taxable, so some egg rolls from the deli would have tax, but the frozen egg rolls wouldn't have any tax. I think candy bars are taxable, also...
I live in Indiana. I go to Meijer most often, then Walmart and Kroger. For asian food I go to the small C&T most often.
So there is no grocery tax period!? I mean besides the one for hot food and candy. Geez, that would be awesome. I grocery shop maybe twice a month and that would save me about $16 a trip.
And I thought everywhere in the US basic food items are tax free, how stupid of me. Question, is live lobster tax free? I never bothered to check before. I think cakes are not tax free here.
Yeah, but relatives aren't allowed to marry each other in Texas, so that kinda offsets the no grocery tax.
Tom Thumb (Randall's) and Kroger...Mostly TT... I wish they had an HEB up here...Everythings expensive...
Lately I've been going to the gas station about 20 yards away from where I live to buy the basic necessities like eggs, milk, and bread, etc. Boy do those places love to jack prices up for fun. I've been too lazy to drive to Krogers, which is the closest place to go for me
I heard Whole Foods is pretty 'spensive compared to the rest.. Isn't there one in Westheimer/Kirby area?
