[at-l] Atlanta shopping

There are now a few more choices for food-buying in North Atlanta:

Cub Foods is gone but now is a new chain in town called Save-Rite that has
pretty good prices and variety.

SAMs warehouse is another place.  They are all over.  You have to be a
member though.

BJs is another place - they are in Cumming.  You have to be a member there
too.  They don't require you to buy such large containers of food as SAMs
does.

The WalMart in Cumming has *lots* of food - and their prices aren't bad.

There are some Super-Targets that have lots of variety - especially ethnic
foods - but their prices aren't too great.

There is a Harry's in Alpharetta - now owned by World Foods - that has a
great selection of ethnic foods but they are expensive.

Cub Foods went under about a year ago. Ingles in No Ga has the best variety
of dried meats. Mexican markets often have the best supplies of dried
spices and veggies, shrimp and other fish. There are  so many grocery
chains in Georgia that the little ones struggle to find a niche. Ethnic
foods are among the niches, but the chains have begun to identify those
opportunities to snuff out competition.
