Grocery: IGAs

bgibson135

There are two IGAs in Fayetteville and I probably shop at the one on Cedar Creek Road the most, but that doesn’t stop me from visiting the IGA in Eutaw Shopping Center for sometimes eggs or various meats & sausages. I now like the eggs from Aldi’s GOLDENHEN. And meat prices have gone up at this IGA, so I don’t buy much or often.

Well, I just remembered that I like the Bright Leaf Brand of Bacon and it is normally one of the cheapest bacon products in this store, and this store has the best prices of anywhere else that sells the Bright Leaf Brand. I’ve tried other brands of bacon and I really like this brand. *Bright Leaf is out of Smithfield, North Carolina. I stopped in the small shop at the office there once, but the secretary wasn’t overly friendly so no need to go back. *I do recall having a very pleasant conversation with the Bright Leaf “Man” in the Cedar Creek IGA one time. He had worked for the company for many years.

Pate’s sells this brand for about a $2 higher price, but not to me. And, I’ve also seen it for sale at Lee’s Fresh Market in Benson, North Carolina, but also at a higher price than the Cedar Creek IGA.
