Food Pyramid is leaving Tulsa

[tulsascoot]

Warehouse Market, the store that makes Wal-Mart look fancy. How do those places stay in business? Their parking lots always look so empty.

Warehouse does good business and locate their stores in under served areas with lower average income. I live in Kendall Whittier and there is a WM that does great business. While they may be lacking in curb appeal, they generally have good prices, better sales, and they always have enough checkers and open additional registers when there's a line of only 2-3 people. Wal-mart runs the leanest staff possible and leads consumers to believe it's worth waiting in line. It's not; the prices are only marginally less. But the trick of Walmart is the prices are less on many products to bring you in the store, but when you stock up on stables, other things are higher. It's their pricing strategy and they actually get more money that way. And then they make you wait in long crappy lines to check out, never opening additional registers.

I love to shop at that store. My friend Monte is the manager and it is always easy to shop there. Warehouse Market does have the best prices on everyday items.

I usually go to the WM on 11th and Garnett; however lately since I work about 1.5 miles from it, I will go to the 31st/Sheridan location.

When I do grocery shopping at WM it's typically at the 21st/Yale location.  It's less crowded for the most part, the lines aren't long if there are any at all, and I don't feel like I need a shower after visiting like I do the others.

If Reasors ever stop offering paper bags they will probably lose my business. That is all the little woman will allow our groceries to be put in.
I'm positive that I could save big money at Wal Mart but they only do plastic.

If she knew paper bags attract cock roaches, you think she would change her mind on that?

You can also find some good Mexican items at the K-W Warehouse Market you won't find around town other than at Los Americas.

Hmm. I'm going to let her know that. One upside though is they start a great bonfire.

I reuse plastic bags all the time for stinky poopy diapers.  I like using the paper bags for traveling or taking food to parties.

We use them for Kitty Litter clean up.

I wouldn't admit to wearing them.

Who is the company looking at the other store location?    Anyone heard anything?

I didn't know that! Yikes!

I checked the Met website and paper bags can be taken to Shredder's Inc on W. 41st for recycling. http://www.shreddersinc.net/recycling_center.htm

I thought you would have outgrown them by now...

Sure it isn't a situation of growing back into them?

Reasor's must have clean paper bags. 

I have saved and recycled paper grocery bags as trash bags all my adult life and never had roaches.  If one is prone to roach infestations, I'm guessing brown paper bags are the least of the roach draw.

Never did much shopping at Food Pyramid because none were on any of my beaten paths.  I was sad a few years ago when Reasor's bought the Albertson's that were on my usual routes.  Now, I'm sad again that Reasor's is buying more of the stores it didn't get the first time.  Tulsa needs some variety in that price range.
