Ok, rant over

I completely agree. Other than sale items, HT is ridiculous. Publix is coming to Charlotte soon so that will add yet another price competitor (Food Lion, Bi-Lo, Lowes Foods, Trader Joe's have not been enough). We will see if Publix can make a difference. HT is convenient, and that's about all it has going for it. I much prefer TJ's and do 80%+ of my grocery shopping there.
