Yep yep yep!

Adding to my list of bad ones... I'm not a fan of the popcorn or imitation Cheez It.

When I lived in VB I mostly shopped at Kroger because it was so convenient but FL was my 2nd choice as it also was fairly convenient. Convenience and good prices gets my money.

Ugh, the American cheese, not good at all.

Have you been to a Dollar Tree Deals?

Agreed. I also found that I didn't care for their bread. It was very dry. Even too dry for toast!

When I lived in VB, I'd shop at Food Lion mostly because it was walking distance to my house. Kroger was close by too, as were a few Dollar General/Dollar Tree stores. As far as Farm Fresh goes, I always thought they were expensive but worth it sometimes. I heard there's one in Chesapeake somewhere that has the best deli roast beef in the region. Nice, rare roast beef... the good stuff. Haven't personally made the trip out there though.

I have, they turned the one over in Janaf by my old house in to a Dollar Tree Deals.

I found some glass tumbler cups there that were Made In the USA. I just about crapped myself and bought 4 of them.

Lily- if you want another Dollar Tree treat, head over to Dollar Tree Market at Chesapeake Square. It's like a mini supermarket within the Dollar Tree. They have a small bakery, produce, meats, canned foods, frozen foods, wine, beer, etc.

They've gone downhill since they opened about 2 years ago, but if you've never been you might find it interesting.

I probably go into Food Lion more often, but I shop weekly at Food Lion, Farm Fresh, Teeter, and Walmart.
