Buying groceries isn't one of my favorite things to do, but it has to be done. When I just need an item or two I will stop into other shops but when I need a cart full of food, Smith's Food & Drug Center is where I go.
There is an Albertson's near my house that I could easily go to instead of Smith's... I have found the prices to be better overall at Smith's though.
The staff at Smith's is always very helpful as well. The meat slicers in the deli (mmmm, Boar's Head) and the stockers in the produce department are always nice and the cashiers are well trained and efficient.
Make sure to sign up for the Smith's Rewards program. They keep track of how much money you spend and every three months they mail out coupons for the items you bought most often as well as a coupon for dollars off your next purchase (it's directly related to how much you spent in that 3 months period).
