Bottom Dollar, that cesspool grocery store I now shop at because I'm watching my pennies. I won't buy the meat there because the store is so filthy, but the packaged goods are fine - and cheap. <BR/><BR/>Interestingly, Food Lion has high-end stores in Montgomery County(Bloom) and low-end stores in Montgomery County (Bottom Dollar) but zero intermediate stores (Food Lion) in Montgomery County. You have to go to Southern Maryland or the Baltimore suburbs to find a Food Lion.<BR/><BR/>Still whining about missing the Trivial Pursuit party... you'll have to have me over to play someday soon.Julie Matthewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11451481909167020067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880188429623084423.post-4982592735024217642008-12-31T14:29:00.000-05:002008-12-31T14:29:00.000-05:00To paraphrase a comment I received on my Facebook today... WWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! <BR/><BR/>I shopped at Bloom once - and thought the bakery department seemed nice... But since I base virtually all of my shopping on value pricing, I've never really felt the need to go back there... BTW - Did you know that Bloom is really just a high-end Food Lion? Their marketing strategy is NOT value for a reason... they don't want to compete with themselves... I think if the economy continues the way it's going though, that strategy might change... <BR/><BR/>Happy fettucine!John Matthewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17313827196269016022noreply@blogger.com
