“There you have it folks Amazon Fresh liquidation is 50 percent off the entire store. It’s going really quick. They probably won’t make it to Feb 1st”

Thanks to Kevin for sending “So long, Amazon Fresh. We hardly knew you! I guess the 14th Street store was already closed. Chevy Chase location has been limping along.”

I like Wegmans or Mom's Organic Market in this area. Sometimes Lidl or Lotte.

Sprouts is also opening new stores in our area this year

They had good prices on some things. Other things, nothing special. I learned to watch the scanner clisely. Recently, over half the items I scanned had prices higher than shown on the shelf. Amazon engaged in dynamic pricing. They raised prices if they noticed that sales were brisk.

That Lidl -- wow, the lines.
