2020 certainly tried to "make shopping an event"

 Aisle 1 in this store is home to pet products and other assorted general merchandise items, a rather strange choice for QFC (which tends to use perimeter aisles for liquor or dairy or something relatively special like that), though I suppose it makes sense with how this aisle is hidden back in the corner. And I don't know about you, but I don't think I want shopping to be "an event"!

  1. I don't know about that "make shopping an event" sign. It's a strange statement to make and having a sentence with all lowercase letters makes it seem like words are missing from the statement. I'm glad I have not seen this at our Bountiful Krogers!

    I was at a couple of local Krogers recently close to one another and noticed that they were selling identical milk for two different prices. I went to Kroger's website to see if the price difference was real and indeed it is real. Kroger typically has not used price discrimination here in Houston unlike some other grocers like HEB and Fiesta, but I can't really explain the difference. I checked many different Krogers online in the Houston are about 90% of them have the lower price. Are the stores with the higher price just quicker to respond to price hikes? Are they piloting price increases to see the reaction? With the Kroger Houston division recently naming an HEB veteran as their head, are they implementing HEB-style price discrimination in Houston?

    I don't know, it'll be interesting to see what happens.

    1. Yeah, that's how I feel about all of the Bountiful sayings. And it's clear that this package came from the days of all-lowercase writing being trendy!

      Hmm, interesting. That's honestly not something I've been paying a ton of attention to around here. I know Safeway tends to have higher prices in the city/suburbs than in rural areas, but I don't think they do anything finer-grained than that.
