Smiths used to have the best balance of price, selection and quality. Now that they have remodeled the prices have gone up and selection has gone down. They still have better meat and produce than Safeway and Albertsons but selection has been cut in favor of more space for pre-made items.
Personally, when I start needed anything that can be stored on a shelf, I make a list and go to Wal-Mart. For those like me who *always* keep a pantry full, Wal-Mart is still the best place to keep it that way for non-speciality items. (Amazon has turned out to be a good source for speciality cooking ingredients)
