Which has the best selection?

Thanks so much

Answer 1

For the size of the stores, I love Trader Joe's over your big three.  The prices are surprisingly reasonable.  Everything is top quality and often has stuff you cannot find anywhere else.  The only drawback it that they carry one brand of an item, often their own brand but is often better than brand named items.  Their wine selection is among the best tasting (but mostly little known brands) and is always a bargain.  They are the ones that made "Two Buck Chuck" famous (a very good tasting line of 2 dollar a bottle wines - Charles Shaw - which won awards at the California State Fair).

Answer 2

Ralph's

Answer 3

I think it depends which store you're in. Ralphs can be really nice, or really ghetto depending on the neighborhood you're in.

I think Ralphs has the best deals overall, and a good selection. Vons has a good selection as well, the produce is good too, but they can get pricey. I think Albertsons is the worst of the 3. Their selection is pretty bad, they are the most expensive, and they are always short handed when I go in.

Answer 4

They are all about the same price. Vons seems to have the best selection in terms of harder to find stuff (like for example, Honest Tea and O Water).  Ralphs seems to have a better selection in the meat and seafood counter.  I've found that often I can't find everything I need at Albertsons like I usually can at Vons and Ralphs.  And Vons offers vons.com where you can price compare easily and they deliver it to your door.

Answer 5

Over-all, we have found that Ralphs seems to meet our needs.

Answer 6

Albertsons

Answer 7

None, Stater Bros!

They only have select locations, though, but of the 3, I think Albertson's the cheapest.

Answer 8

Pricing is always competitive between grocery store chains....if you want to spend less, look for items on the lowest shelves in the stores.

Freshest?  Depends on when it came in the door...they're all about the same in that category.

Best selection of what?

Answer 9

I think Albertsons is the worst.  It's a toss up between Raphs and Vons (also, try Pavilions, which is the same ownership at Vons, but it's a bit nicer).  Each of the chains has really crappy locations and really nice locations.

Answer 10

Vons is more expensive but have a better deli,sandwich and bakery.

Answer 11

Ralphs!!! I love going to Ralphs, ecspecially with coupons, they always double them,so I sometimes get things for free or pennies!!!

Answer 12

Ralphs is discusting! Vons is the best!
