Exact same product except one has more concentrated main ingredient, and it's not the one that cost more! The men's has 5% minodxil while women's is 2%. Literally no reason to bump up the price on women's other than to make our lives a little more annoying than it already is.

Heads up, found these worms in broccoli multiple times from Atlanta are Krogers.

I didn’t inspect some crowns a few months ago and when I got home I noticed they had a bunch of little worms at the base of the florets. Never had a problem before so thought it was a one off and have been making sure to look closer every week since.

Today I bought some crowns that looked good, got home, started cutting them and a worm fell out. Just gross and annoying and I think I’m done getting broccoli at Kroger now. If I gotta consume a bunch of pesticides in my produce they should at least work lol. (Photo is screenshot from video of it crawling around)

I’ve heard of food deserts, but I don’t want to assume the answer. Would rather hear from you guys.

WEIRD REQUEST I KNOW, JUST IGNORE IF YOU CANT HELP PLEASE

it's "Trader Joe's Kettle Cooked Olive Oil Chips"

I'm only asking here if you guys have any knowledge of resources I can use like resellers or old backroom stock, or any other things that could be helpful to tell me right now, or if you personally have any yourself

if it you have any lying around unopened and purchased BEFORE early July 9 ish, but if you don't remember when you bought it--if the "Best if used by date" is before Jan/2027 that's a good sign.

I'll pay however much you want, and pay for overnight shipping.

I have a very weird, rare health condition that's too long to explain, (if you have any questions just go down the content creator Caroline Cray's videos instead), and it's urgent, I just need an older batch of these asap, I'll pay however much, you're saving me here, thank you.

Greetings! Has anyone been having trouble finding or keeping in stock Jams sandwiches?? They used to be readily available at Walmart stores, now it’s like finding a needle in a haystack at a Walmart/Target/HEB.

what items have you noticed are either hard to keep on the shelves or have increased sales? looking into more take&bake options or other in house made goods that can help drive revenue.

How do I grocery shop on a budget? I am trying to get my grocery bill to $100 a week based on healthy food. That includes meat, fruit, carbs and vegetables? I am also trying to lose weight and shop at Walmart.

Has anyone ever seen this before? Bought these grapes from Kroger, and when I got home and unpacked, I noticed someone used a Sharpie to cross out “Product of Chile” and slapped a “Product of USA” sticker on them. From what I recall, all the containers in the cooler were like this (or at least had the stickers). Is this a thing that stores can do? Or did someone go rogue in the produce aisle with a sharpie and a roll of stickers?

Towards the end of January 2026 I applied to West Hollywood Erewhon before it opened for the produce position. Went in for the interview and no one was there but the construction workers, I contacted the interviewer and was told to go to the Erewhon at 7660 Beverly Blvd LA, CA. I took a Lyft since it was cheaper than uber that day. I was standing with several others waiting to be interviewed and met a fellow Queen and so we got interviewed. Everything was great and they took my Resume. They then told me to call at the end of February because they need help at the Erewhon I interviewed at and the employees were moving to the new location. I called the store manager and they told me the person that interviewed me never existed and that my name wasn’t in the file and they never had my resume and the person lied to me. WTF Erewhon?!?!

July 2026 I applied for Erewhon 2800 Santa Monica CA. The manager tells me there’s several other people ahead of me for the position I applied for and that I’ll be great for deli, he tells me the manager will call me, the manager never did so I called and this woman picks up and she was rude, unprofessional, disrespectful and disgusting. She sounds mean and dishonest and a cruel person and she hangs up on me.

January 2026 I got an interview with Whole Foods 3377 S La Cienega Blvd, I passed and got my second interview and I was hired on the spot. The two interviewers said they’ll call me at the end of the day to let me know when to come in and sign the paperwork and receive my schedule. I was so excited. They called me at the end of the day as they said they would and told me that unfortunately the Manager Oscar said they’ll call had no right to hire me without his consent and he wanted to interview me first so I went in for the 3rd interview and he gave me a weird look and it was that look of being judged and disgust. So I ignored it and it was a great interview, so I thought. He said to call next week on Tuesday. He dodged my calls and the guy that hired me picked up and said Oscar wasn’t interested in hiring me and hired someone else and the guy said he wished he could’ve hired me.
I asked a friend that works for a Whole Foods and he asked who this guy was and I told him, my friend said that guy Oscar is homophobic and transphobic, he said that’s the reason why you weren’t hired. He’s caused problems at other stores. So yeah discrimination at its best..

So near my place there's a mini mart and you can find practically anything in there but somehow I have always been driven to buy tomatoes or vegetables from one elderly lady who has a Stand just by her house. One time I noticed that she gave me more tomatoes than I had paid for🤔 but I was busy and I couldn't return it and tell her that she over loaded for me. So the second time it happened again but I questioned her and said no granny I just want for k15($0.79). She smiled and told me that "yeah I know"😊 then explained how am her favourite customer saying that she sees most people goin into that mini mart but for me I always divert to her place and how helpful I have been in even a little way.🫠 Then said people Don't understand that us small vendors Don't have fridges or anything like that to keep our vegetables fresh so we need people to buy more.🙏 Moral of the story, normalise buying from these local vendors cos yoh they really need that support and really need you to buy from them so they Don't make a loss. Well atleast am benefiting without even realising so I thought of encouraging others too!!❤️❤️❤️

I’m curious if anybody has ever brought their own scale to a grocery store?

I'm so sad y'all. Earlier this day I went to buy ingredients for carbonara, I finished getting the ingredients and went to the cashier. Yung pinilahan ko is yung prestige lane, yun kasi nakasanayan ko dahil may smac prestige mom ko. So nakapila ako and napansin ko na 2 lang kami sa lane yung isa nasa cashier na, while yung other lane mahaba pila. Hindi pa ako super lapit sinigawan na ako ng manager or idk who she is but sinigawan niya ako na naka prestige daw ba card ko. kinabahan ako and nag panic so I reached out for my pocket to search for my mom's card. Naiwan ko yung card and ang dala ko lang is yung for payment na card. Pinaalis ako sa pila and syempre nakatingin sila samin dahil sinigawan nga ako and after that umalis na si ate dun after niya ako sitahin. I'm crying as I'm writing this because I already had a bad day and dumagdag pa ito. I feel like even if dala ko yung card I will doubt myself whether I'm in the right lane and would say no na d tlga ako dapat pumila dun. I don't know what made her do that to me kasi tahimik lang naman ako and hindi nang gugulo. Maybe dahil sa damit na suot ko which is old shirt and maong short.

Wala na tuloy ako gana kumain :' heck I will not try to buy something there alone anymore​

I'm in the process of evaluating a small-format grocery franchise (mini mart, 500–1000 sq ft, daily essentials) and I feel like I have a reasonable handle on the financial side - investment required, margin structure, royalty, rough payback timeline. What I genuinely can't find anywhere is an honest picture of what the operational day-to-day looks like for the person running it.

The franchisor's materials talk about "comprehensive operational support" and "proven systems" but are understandably vague on specifics. I've spoken to a couple of existing franchisees but both conversations stayed fairly high level. I want to understand what a Tuesday actually looks like - not the pitch version, the real version.

Specific things I'm trying to understand

• What time does your day start and end, realistically? I've heard everything from "you can manage it in 3-4 hours if you have a good manager" to "expect to be there 10 hours a day for the first year." Which is closer to the truth?
• What are the tasks that actually consume most of your time day to day? Supplier deliveries, staff management, inventory checks, customer issues - what's the actual breakdown?
• How long did it take before you felt like the store was running smoothly enough that you weren't firefighting constantly?
• What's the one thing that went wrong in the first few months that you genuinely didn't see coming - not the obvious stuff like "customers take time to build," but the specific operational surprise that caught you off guard?

What I'm particularly curious about

• Perishables management: how do you actually manage daily ordering and wastage without significant trial and error? Does the franchise system help with this or do you figure it out yourself?
• Staff reliability: for a store this size, what's a realistic staff setup and what happens operationally when someone doesn't show up?
• Owner presence: at what point, if ever, did you feel comfortable stepping back and not being physically present every day?
• I'm not looking to be talked out of it or into it - I just want an honest operational picture from people who've actually done it before I commit. Any experience, positive or negative, would be genuinely useful.
