This post does contain affiliate links and is a sponsored post written for Albertsons. It’s my favorite place to do my grocery shopping, without a doubt! If you live in Carlsbad, I’m going to assume Albertsons is your favorite place to do grocery shopping too!
You have probably heard me complain about living in a small town 1000 times, but there are good sides to it too. One of my favorite things about living in a small town is that we know everyone, and if we don’t know them, we know someone who does, which yes, can be a bad thing, but it’s also a good thing. See, my kids don’t even try to get away with anything because they already know we’ll find out. Without a doubt, mom and dad will hear something from someone and put things together. It might take a month, maybe even two, but we will find out, lol.
It’s funny that the older I get, the more I look forward to crazy things, like grocery shopping. I admit it, I do like going grocery shopping. I don’t like those little quick trips to the store because they don’t happen, but I do like going big grocery shopping. Why? Okay, so really, I should say that differently. I love shopping at certain stores. There are stores that are crazy, crowded, not clean, people are not friendly, and well, I do not look forward to visiting.
Reasons I Love My Local Albertsons
I also love shopping at Albertsons; why? Well, there are a lot of reasons, but let me tell you the first 10 things that come to mind.
I feel at home
My youngest daughter and I are those early-bird shoppers. You know those who hit the sales first! My favorite place to shop is Albertson’s because everyone knows us; they have watched my kids grow up, and I think they are more excited for me to bring them along than they are when we are spending money. Oh, and now that Mattie is old enough to walk around the store, we have to stop and talk to everyone because Mattie is a talker and always wants to show off her shoes or something. The employees at Albertsons make us feel at home!
Relaxing
I don’t know why, but shopping has always been relaxing for me. Yes, any kind of shopping. I don’t know if it is the fact that I can get out of the house or if I just love to spend money. Now, shopping isn’t always relaxing; it really depends on where I shop. I try to avoid places that are crazy busy, because then it’s just stressful. Albertsons early in the morning is perfect. There is a few people there, but not to many, I find good deals on things my family likes, and my daughter is totally occupied by everyone talking to her, lol. Every now and again, someone hooks her up with a doughnut or something. 
Weekly Ad
I’m still in love with the weekly ad; it’s awesome. I always grab one on the way into the store because there are so many awesome deals going on.
Well Stocked
Albertsons always has what I need, and plenty of it. I don’t know how they keep up with everything, but it works because I always get what I go to the store for.
Clean
OMG, does cleanliness ever matter! If I am buying food or anything for my home, I want the store that it is coming from to be nice and clean! Albertsons is always super clean, and if there is ever a spill or anything, someone is there to clean it up right away.
Fresh food
I’m sure you are picking about fruit, veggies and meat too. I want them to be fresh, and that is all to it. I always find fresh fruit, veggies, and meat. Albertsons is the only place in town that I will buy meat, and I rarely get fruit and veggies anywhere else.
Customer Service
If you follow my blog, you know customer service is VERY important to me. I will actually pay more to be treated better, if need be that is. Albertsons has great customer service, everyone is nice, talks to you, and go out of their way to be sure you have a good shopping experience.
Shopping List
Before I head to the store, I can jump online, view their Online Weekly Ads, and save items to my grocery list, which are saved to my account so I can view everything on my phone. It’s an easy way to get those sale items thatI look forward to. 
BONUS Reasons is the SALES!
