My rule here is not to buy anything that isn't pre-packaged. Bag of Doritos - fine. Loose fruit and veggies - um, no. Can of product with a brand name I recognize - sure. Meat - heck no.
Here's the thing - it's the closest grocery store to me in many ways (If you don't count the Super Wal-Mart, and I don't) and I really wanted to like it, but it just kinda freaked me out too much the first time to trust it again. After going into Ranch Market I figured this would be about the same. I was SO wrong. The produce section had flies all over it and many of the items were well past their naturally intended expiration date. And once you got half way over - the smell of the Carniceria was SO strong and rancid I almost tossed my cookies right there. This was about... oh... 8-9 months ago.
Last week I ran in because "someone" at home wanted a bag of Doritos and some sour cream. It was a block from where I was, and both of those products would be pre-packaged so I figured I'd give it a shot. I could tell that they had made some improvements, and their produce and meat sections looked much better, but I'm not willing to throw those dice just yet.
Personally - I say just go down the street to Ranch Market. It's right on Southern and such an amazingly different shopping experience. Besides, you really don't want to be there if those improvements start to back-slide again. Blech!
