12. Just shopped there today, knew it was open, decided to stop by and see what it was about...

ended up spending about 50 bucks there(did most grocery shopping at Southfield Schnucks). A couple of things, coffee selection, especially if you want local selections, kinda sucks(didn't see Kaldi's or others in there). Fresh produce was varied and is comparably priced to any of the big chain stores from what I can tell, as long as you avoid organic(useless marketing term, and overpriced, everywhere). The selection of items is smaller than huge chain stores.

What surprised me the most was this "Farm Fresh" brand stuff they carry, now I'll be honest, I don't, generally, shop at the discount stores that often, mostly Schnucks, which is closest to where I live, or, sometimes, Shop n' Save, so I never saw this brand, but...I'm sold. Milk for 3.59, a price I haven't seen in a while, used to it being about 20 cents more expensive at other stores(or over 4 bucks at Wal-Mart). But the real clincher, Farm Fresh brand bacon, 2.39, sliced. Haven't tasted it yet, but if its better than Schnucks store brand, I think I'll take the extra 20 minutes to shop at this store instead. Oh, and they have 4 pound sugar bags for 2 dollars, another deal, I'm lucky to get store brand stuff at 2.30-2.50 elsewhere.

As far as I can tell, this place is pretty good, oh, and they have cup holders attached to the shopping carts. Will shop there again, and see if I can find other deals.

Oh, and the employees are very friendly, and for stopping by around the middle of the day, the store seemed busy, and its at a pretty good location, it shares the lot with a Walgreens.
