Two different stores, Paul. MaineSource is on Rutter Ave right at the Cross Valley exit and Keyco is on Wyoming Ave. Forty Fort is becoming a booming metropolis.

I fell upon it by accident. Kind of on the border of Kingston and Forty Fort. I fell upon it by accident while getting lost. Which I do a lot...STILL.

Kind of in a strange small industrial park with a gym and a Dr office. Near that hair dresser with an "S" with the name that sounds Japanese.

Now you KNOW I'm from out of town originally!

I like to do grocery shopping at Wegman's - my favorite, but I also shp at Sheil's (sp?) and Price Chopper. There is also a store in Kingston that seems to sell to restaurants but is open to the public - can't think of the name, but they have a good selection of bulk items.

.....

I wish they had a Wegman's here, they're such a good combination of high quality and decent prices, often beating out Price Chopper. That's where I did most of my grocery shopping when I lived in WB.

Sam's and Walmart are good for nonperishables such as canned goods, much cheaper on those if you don't mind the bad karma. I noticed that their fresh meats were a bit cheaper because they were injected with a basting solution of water, salt, sugar, and chemicals. Some of their veggies had inner rot - looked good on the outside, but then when you cut into them at home the center was largely black rot.

LOL! "The bad Karma" gotta agree here! Walmart and Sam's have major karma issues. They treat their employees horribly.
