After getting into Vegas around 12:30AM after our flight, we needed to do Thanksgiving shopping. My boyfriend's parents live in Vegas and we wanted to cook for them. So, we went to Smith's around 1:30AM to get everything that we needed to for the festivities. I liked the inside of Smith a lot. It has a very wide variety and is very well stocked like Safeway/Albertson's, but seems a bit bigger and has more of a personal touch to it, rather than looking very uniform and commercialized like other supermarkets.
The workers here are also very friendly, even at 1:30AM.. makes me wonder if the staff is as great during the day. Anyhow, not being familiar with a supermarket I've never been into, of course I had a lot of questions and had a hard time finding some more specific items. There was a middle-aged lady working and was working on stocking the shelves. The first time I asked her for help, she cracked a joke and was very willing to help me out. Then around the next 5-6 times I couldn't find anything, I went back to ask her and she was always very smiling and willing to help.. Then, the guy at the checkout register was also very friendly.
Smith's is cheaper than Albertson's/Safeway I think. All of our items totalled up to $65 but after simply signing up for a membership card, our total dropped all the way downt o $48. Boy we were happy. Usually when you use a memebrship card at a Safeway or Albertson's, you'll be lucky if you save up to $10.
