My favorite ex-Texas-resident was shocked to discover a few months ago that Randalls is cheap. That boy buys the same things every week: sandwich bread, turkey, hummus, lettuce, avocado, tomato, milk, eggs, frozen berries, and some special items for dinner. The first time he went to Randalls for the usual grocery run, he called me excitedly after: “Randalls is cheap!” He was totally surprised to find out that what is often considered a you-pay-for-its-convenient-location-store actually held some great deals. Add in the Remarkable Card savings each week on seafood and that boy was sold. He shopped at Randalls every week thereafter.
Randalls recently sent me a $50 gift card to try out the store. We have one just three blocks from my house and I am one of those who loves it for its convenience—I don’t do my weekly shopping there, but I pop in probably once or twice a week to pick up whatever I need for dinner (certain spices or forgotten veggies) or to bring over to a party (excellent party trays and good prices on wine and flowers).
Armed with my gift card, I set out to do my weekly grocery shopping at Randalls. I took a handy borrowed Flip cam with me and shot a vid of all the cool things Randalls has to offer. I apparently suck at editing video and somehow managed to make this super blurry, but now I can’t undo the file all put together. Disaster. Anyway, you can still see all the cool stuff* I snagged for right at $50.
Randall’s has super-convenient locations all over, including the newly-expanded 2727 Exposition store … I say sign up for a Remarkable Card and give your friendly neighborhood national chain grocery another shot.
*Discerning readers will also note that every single thing I bought is Paleo – no processed foods, no grains, no sugar, no dairy, no soy … and all of it available at a store not known for being for “health food” like Whole Foods or Central Market. See? EATING PALEO IS EASY! More on Paleo eating here.
