| - I'll give IGA 3 stars for the convenience factor alone. Until it opened, the only grocery options in Oakland were CVS and RiteAid. It is so convenient to now have a "full" grocery store right in Oakland. They might not have the widest selection, but they sell everything you need to stock your fridge for a week or two - produce, deli meats and cheese, canned items, frozen foods, dairy and eggs, cereal, breads, baking supplies, and even beer.
But you definitely pay for this convenience factor. Most items are 20-30% more expensive than at Giant Eagle. Then again, if you live in Oakland, you don't have to take the bus to IGA...so it's a trade off.
