I am just not a fan of this place. The parking lot sucks. It's really tight and whoever designed it should be shot. Everytime I have ever been inside, the meat/seafood department smells horrible. There is no chance I will ever buy any fresh meat or seafood there.
My Mom loves this store, however, so we do stop here every now and then. She seems to find good deals - most recently I was making a pumpkin cheesecake and needed cream cheese, so she ran in and was able to find cream cheese on sale (Kroger Brand) 10 for $10. Pretty decent.
Overall I think the store seems to be pretty old and run down, and I've seen some pretty shady characters in the parking lot. I live less than a block from an Albertson's, and for convenience and cleanliness alone, I will pay a little bit higher prices. Sorry, Smith's.
