Albertson's is my second choice when it comes to grocery shopping (Smith's being #1). But I go to this location because it is right off of Blue Diamond on the way home.
The staff for the most part is friendly and prices are OK, but I don't see the same quality of sales as I do at Smith's.
I've never experienced any issues with freshness here and their private label brand is A-OK. Make sure you get a rewards card, some items are extremely high priced without it.
