They made a huge renovation at this smiths and it was kind of a pain when they were moving the food and shelves all around, but it was worth it. The selections are always just as good or better than any other store and the prices are definitely better than albertsons, vons or wal-marts neighborhood market. And being 1.8 miles from the house its the closest by far than any other store. With the shoppers card I regularly save $800-1000 a year in groceries.
The layout is good, the shoppers card is great, the prices are comparable or better and the location is close.
Only thing annoying is sometimes the self checkout kiosks are backed up and full or not working right, but usually pretty smooth...
