Yesterday I went to Safeway on the way home after dropping Rocksus off for some Dreyers Rocky Road ice cream. I normally shop at WINCO - a Pacific Northwest grocery chain with about 50 locations.

Safeways are a dime-a-dozen around here, and around the country for the matter.

I know the price of the half-gallon ice cream at WINCO is $4.49, but I would have to drive a little bit out of the way yesterday and I figured that Safeway would be a little bit more, but I did not expect the ice cream to be $2.30 more at $6.79.

It's shameful that Safeway takes advantage of "inflation" as they are doing. WINCO is much smaller so their buying power is not a great as Safeway (...and Albertsons. Albertsons owns Safeway). Safeway can basically tell Dryers what they want to pay for the product.

Greedy companies like Safeway/Albertsons suck. mad
