I've shopped at Food Lion for 25 years, and exclusively for the past 20 or so years, because they have what I'm looking for. The last 3 or 4 years, there have been 4 items that I've always found at Food Lion they have stopped selling. I understand supply and demand, but the last straw was this morning when I needed rye bread, there was none on the shelves...but there were 2 partial rows of shelves dedicated to some off the wall type bread (can't remember the name, but it's the bread that has a picture of some bearded guy on the package). I mean...really? Can't get a loaf of rye, but the bearded guy gets 2 shelves? I don't know who signs the product contracts, but it's gotten too ridiculous for my blood. Don't get me started on the Tide/Gain monopoly down the household aisle, either. I'm branching out and shopping elsewhere. (Sad about this, as I tend to be a loyal shopper).
