We have been suffering ever since the first grocery store strike.

I told my daughter Vons would stop doubling $1 q's when I found
out about Ralphs new coupon policy.

There is no way Vons can compete with Ralphs if Vons continue to
double $1 q's.

My Albies no longer accepts their competitors q's, Ralphs only doubles 1 coupon upto $1, and now Vons follows suit. I don't think it is a coincidence.

The Ralphs closes to me, was remodeled last month. The store looks
brand new. They have money to spend.

I'm sad!:frown: Time to move out of state.

Gee! I wonder what percentage of that 3% increase in sales came from the "couponers" that shifted their spending $$$ to Vons instead of Ralphs. Grrrr!!!

lmk123 ~ If you are indeed going to be interviewed, some of the stuff that you and others have posted today (like this little tidbit), should be mentioned to the media.

[couponsnteddies]

but have been a shopper of Vons (and formerly Ralphs) for 17 years!!! It is too bad it has come to this but as soon as Ralphs backed down from their doubling of coupons I knew Vons would as well. Well thank goodness for WINCO, Commissary and the 99c Stores in my area.

Shame on Vons..........CORP GREED!!!!!!!!!:frown:
