The Laid-Off Gourmet visits Albertson's

If you live in South Florida, get yourself to your local Albertson's RIGHT NOW. I just came back with a load of groceries, including organic mac and cheese, Muir Glen tomatoes, Barbara's Bakery cereal, Silk chocolate soymilk and a Happy Birthday banner.

Grocery items are 50 percent off; general merchandise, like toiletries and office supplies are 70 percent off and greeting cards and candles are a crazy 95 percent off. (If you're looking for Spanish Bar Mitzvah cards, you're in luck.)

There is a lot of Lean Cuisines left, lots of ice cream, lots of cereal and salon-quality hair products. Tomorrow's the last day for all the Albertson's that are converting to Publix stores and I'm predicting a hoarding madhouse.

I stocked up on the greeting cards but for the most part, their 50% off prices at mine in the Tampa Bay area were the same or MORE than regular prices at Sweetbay or Publix
