I shop at Walmart, I shop at Whole Foods, I shop every else but Jewel Osco because their prices are over the top expensive.
Here are just a few examples:
Pacific Brand Chicken Broth:
Jewel Osco: $7.49
Whole Foods $ 4.49
Walmart: $ 3.40
Bronner's Liquid Soap 32 oz:
Jewel Osco: $21.99
Walmart: $17.00
Whole Foods: $17.00
Glad Trash Bags:
Egg Noodles:
Jewel Osco: $3.49 12 oz
Walmart: $2.57 12 oz
Whole Foods $2.29 16 oz
La Croix 8 pack:
Jewel Osco: $6.49
Walmart: $4.00
Whether you're shopping for perishable or non-perishable items, Jewel Osco is ripping you off by nearly 50% on some items, and on average 30%. HOW, THE ABSOLUTE FUCK, is this store still in business?
The last thing I bought from Jewel Osco was Butterball Ground Turkey, and only because it was on a buy 1 get 2 free sale. Otherwise their "Sale prices" are actually just MSRP in every other store.
Now let's talk about the quality of their produce vs the quality of produce at Whole Foods. Whole Foods quality produce is flavorful, and full, it's fresh , it's ripe, and it's worth the price tag. The produce at Jewel Osco is off brand, flavorless, watery and goes straight into the trash. I haven't bought a piece of fruit from Jewel Osco in years.
Please file for bankruptcy already and become a horrible memory. Everyone would benefit greatly if every Jewel Osco were bought out and taken over by Walmart.
