I shop at a Food City in Southern ME. We just recently had a Hannaford open up nearby, so they "updated" the store to compete. It is still not the nicest store, but they do double Q's up to $0.99. They will accept IP's, and I just got 5 bottles of A1 Marinade for FREE today! I also bought an apple and a banana, so I had to pay $0.77...the cashier smiled and said, "That was a good deal." Uh, well, yeah!

Food City also just opened another store in Turner, ME, so they have been having some good deals lately. I have noticed that you really need to watch what is being rung up and catch the (multiple) mistake(s). I had four IP's a couple weeks ago to match up w/ sale items that didn't ring up as sale items. Boy what a mess it ended up being...but I walked out with the correct amt. in my pocket, not theirs.

Also, have you heard of "BankRoll?" It is a punch card program, where you can win $1000 or more, depending on what happens in previous weeks. They draw a name each week. If you have your BankRoll card punched for that week, you win the loot. If you don't, a certain amount of money gets rolled into the following weeks drawing. You have to shop only once per week to get your card punched. The "week" starts on Saturday, which is confusing, especially since the new ad starts on Friday.

It is the closest store to my house, so I will run in there for misc. items if need be.
