Kroger buys Albertson's/Safeway

[terracore]

My understanding from reading the Reuters article was that divestiture would only be required in areas where a Kroger/Safeway combo would dominate the market to the point of being a monopoly.  That's clearly not the case on the Big Island (or anywhere else in Hawaii) because there are no Kroger stores.

We buy nearly all our produce at KTA, but we've found Target to be less expensive for most staple items.  And like I said, only buy deeply discounted items at Safeway.  We've also become fans of Walmart's online ordering with parking lot pickup.  It's wonderful to get low prices and not have to set foot in their zoo of a store.

Agreed, and if you get the Walmart mastercard or visa you get 5% back for all online purchases, including curbside pickup or delivery.
