I just got back from Kroger and I spent in the neighborhood of $220 dollars. Got home and started prepping the green beans for tomorrow and they were rotten. I didn’t smell it until after opening the bag.
I like Kroger and their fuel points but the last year or so their produce fucking sucks. Walmart has better produce but I abhor shopping there for obvious reasons. And, I don’t want to buy half my shit at one store and then go to another store for produce. First world problems, I know. Aldi? |

The good ones are in the middle of town and a pain in the ass to get out of due to traffic. |

And bring back the Eastern Airlines Stewardesses in bikinis bouncing on a diving board commercial. To your point though OP and for whatever reason, Nope. The meat quality around here has taken an uptick. I'm not talking about the pre-packed stuff in the coolers but the meat at the butcher station in the grocery stores. It's gotten waaaayyy more expensive but the quality is excellent. I just paid $29/lb at Krogers for ribeye….pricey but really good quality. Not sure why this is as I live in pretty poor part of the country. Never see anyone using EBT though. Wonder why that is? Let me check demographics. Maybe there's a clue there? |

Can't find a more expensive place around here to shop than Kroger do no. I don't go there.
All the other places seem to have intermittent outages of certain items and new brands are showing up more snd more but at this point there are no other problems. I don't think we are going to run out of food. The government knows that is an immediate threat to them. We will see less selection and product lines we have never seen before on a more common basis. If food runs out at the grocery them we sell know it is Fo time. |

We’ve noticed selection is a bit smaller and produce is arriving in very poor shape so you need to really look it over. Interesting coincidence, but they’re also remodeling the main store we go to (a “super Kroger” that is actually a brand new store as of about 5 years ago).
Package sizes are smaller, and the product in the packages is often different - she got a box of Kroger brand vanilla wafers and they were thinner than before, with 2 fewer ounces in the box. Wife has started going to several stores a week, each for specific items. Kroger gets the bulk of our business, but she goes to Meijer, Aldi and sometimes a Spartan store for our stuff. Periodic visits to Gordon food service and Target too. We have a “if you see it, buy it” standing order. It may not be there next time. |

There produce department is horrible and I have bought more expired and rotten/moldy food there then I have ever seen in my life. Their commercials about fresh and hand picking produce always makes me shake my head. If ever there was false advertising. |

It helps if you mention your AO as I am sure it is worse in some areas. My local Fry's Marketplace is owned by Kroger and I have seen a noticeable change in amount and variety of items.
Most shelves are stocked one or two deep with many items, other items are simply not there anymore. Not being able to find my favorite frozen ravioli is certainly a first world problem but it is likely to get worse. |

Locally the Kroger produce is not as nice as it used to be. One trip there a couple of months ago they were out of 5 and 10 pound bags of taters. The Krogers in Fairborn is on the edge of town and only a mile or so from here which is a lot closer than the other grocery stores.
I do most of the shopping for Mom. She's 93 and has an apartment in an assisted living facility about 1.5 hours from me. She is very limited on what she can eat due to digestive difficulties. What she can tolerate she very strongly prefers certain brands and packaging sizes. Some of her usual gotos aren't stocked by Kroger anymore. I take her to the Krogers up there first. She no longer drives and likes to get out of her apartment. I shop Krogers, Meijer, and Walmart here to get what we can't find up there. What I can't find in any store I'll order online and have it shipped to her. For our own shopping, we keep enough on hand that if an item is OOS for a while we have enough until it shows up again. |

Produce is fine, shrikflation is obvious everywhere. I did notice both Dillons/Kroeger and WalMart have significantly shrunk their canned veggies. Both are 1/4 of an asile now. Canned beans, 1/4 of an isle. A large number of the speciality canned veggies have disappeared. The most exotic I see around here is sauerkraut and asparagus. Good luck finding pickled beets, etc. So yes, post covid insanity there is some shrinkage. I just wonder if it will continue to get smaller. I think by late Fall we might be in some big trouble if everything keeps going up in cost.

I shop at Kroger occassionally but I rarely buy meat there, since there is a Foodland here with better meat prices.
A few months ago they started working on at expansion of the Korger here, by about 50 percent in size. And they have put a Starbucks inside of it, but I have no interest in that. They still have a few things I like which makes it worth stopping by every now and then. |

Nope not a bit. We shop at Kroger and Tom Thumb and it is business as usual.
We buy chuck roasts every time they go on sale for $3.99 or less, and stock the freezer when they are on sale for $2.99. At Tom Thumb, who competes directly with sales at Kroger, I'll get really nice looking roasts cut by the butcher. But as far as product goes, ours had not changed. We are spoiled in the US with amount of choice we have. My parents lived and did extensive travel in Greece, Kazakhstan, Albania, and Russia. Every time my Mom came back tot he states, the groceries stores her overwhelmed her with the amount of choices and varied products we have. They have great sales and that's how you can eat good food for less.....   |

I lived up the road from Baker Middle School past the tracks at a housing development right at 675. Had my first brand new home built there back in 07-08. The Kroger's we shop located at Austin Landing has been just fine and well stocked, and has a decent restaurant inside that I eat at when the wife shops. Most of the time we just pay for delivery. |

From the local hardware store to the grocery store, they all say supply is limited and sketchy at best.
I was in our small town local grocery store yesterday and talked to the produce manager, she said she gladly accepts whatever she can get from her suppliers but doesn't buy some items cause she knows in this little farming town, the people wont pay the inflated prices on some things. She said on some of the basics that she pretty much has to price it at cost so she can keep stock but be able to move it at a price these people can afford. |

Before long it'll be : Meat doesn't come in much. There's usually soup stock that's not too old. Steaks, chops, ground beef, chicken breasts come in small lots and you have to have the right connections for them. Good fresh fruits and vegetables are the same. There's usually canned beets, turnips, corn. Snacks , chips, pretzels are sketchy at best. Good fresh stuff like Doritos, you guessed it. Connections! See the Soviet era grocery store videos for a good look at what we are rushing headlong into.
