| - We like AJs, and generally enjoy shopping in them.
We were over this way and decided to stop in for a couple of items. As the three of us wandered the aisles, we were more than taken aback by some of the prices. They seemed even higher than our local AJs. It never occurred to me that different stores, had different prices.
Well this led to an interesting discussion on how to rate this AJs? In terms of hard to find upscale products, or for variety, hands down all AJs are Four Stars. Particularly, if price is no object.
But in the real world, where price and value do matter; they're the Needless-Markup (Neimann Marcus) of food retailers. For instance, a bottle of wine which I normally pay $18.99, was going for $24.99 here.
So, Two Stars for price and value, and yes, we've experienced better. I wonder if Oakville will ever considering coming back?
