I cook a lot, but sometimes I'll think I have something that I really don't and then I've already started the meal so SOMEONE has to run out and get said ingredient or I'll have a nuclear meltdown.
This Albertsons is close enough that I can start the water boiling or get the onions chopping and send guy out to fetch whatever I might need. It's a clean enough store and although I still have trouble navigating my way around it after a year, I can find most of the stuff I'll need. Except for glutenous rice flour, but I can only get that in Chinatown anyway.
Their produce is usually decent (except last night, the green bell peppers were garbage so I had to sub in pasilla chilies..which tasted better anyway) and they offer a growing selection of organic produce. I'm really impressed with the ethnic foods selection found in most any chain grocery store these days, and Albertsons is no exception. They also carry an *okay* selection of vegetarian and vegan products, both in the produce section (stuff for the fridge) and in the freezer section. SOMETIMES I can even get creme caramel frozen soy yogurt, which is so good you'll die (and only 120 cal a serving!!!!! DIE DIE DIE).
