I go to our Albertson's as little as possible. We shop at a locally-owned market that closes at 9, so Albertson's is only for late-night emergencies.

They haven't installed the TVs yet. But I avoid Albertson's (and Safeway) because of the Club Cards. It's such a rip -- the low "club card" price is generally what we pay normally at the independent market, and the "regular" price is an artificially high price meant to force you to have a club card. Sorry, I don't want my market to know what I buy and where I live.

Is it this way at other Albertson's: it's almost impossible to buy toilet paper in less than a 12-pack? And the price per roll is no less than that of a four-pack at the other store? We don't even have the shelf space for 12 rolls of TP!
