Associated Food’s Buying Utah Albertsons Stores.
Aug

I wonder if the reason Albertsons was giving out all those reciepts where if you did a survery you got a code for $2 off your next shopping order to give Associated Foods an idea of how to run the Albertsons stores they are buying? Associated Foods (They own the Western Family brand) is buying all but 7 Utah Albertsons and the current owners -supervalue inc is looking to sell a few more to other buyers.
I just love Albertsons coupon deals, it is only the Supervalue stores who have sales like this Kraft Sale. So this leaves me wondering if I will be able to get as much out of my family’s $150 grocery budget as I currently am. Now Albertson’s being bought out is not going to cause us to become cross country movers so we can move to an area that have grocery stores owned by Supervalue inc.
Associated foods own a lot of Utah’s grocery stores Maceys, Reams and they also supply food for Harmon’s and Buy Lows. I think it is funny that people are confused that Associated Foods will buy Albertson’s when they already own grocery stores on the same street – That is exactly what companies want – two of their stores competing against each other.
I will wait and see what happens this fall with the new store before I let my self be disappointed by the move. Associated Foods is a local company and with LDS owners many of their stores are closed on sundays which have some people who shop on Sundays worried but it is something I’m sure the employee’s appreciate.

I’m disappointed that I won’t be able to get in on the great Albertson’s deals anymore when they switch.
And thank you again for telling my about pinchingyoupennies.com. Seriously it has been amazing the amount I’ve saved by the deals they post there. Hubby is thankful too.
