Bad experience leads to hope of new grocery

Here’s hoping someday Culpeper may get a ‘real’ grocery store.
In the last few months, I have had two of the most disappointing grocery store visits I have ever made in my 35 years of grocery store shopping.
In the first such visit. I had a grocery list that contained some more obscure items (though honestly, they are really not that obscure). Russian dressing, onion soup mix, plain yogurt, and a few other things. Every one of the first six items that I picked up that were on my list had either expired, or was a week or so from expiring. Now a week may not be a big deal, but the onion soup mix? It was dated April of 2007!
Today granted, a holiday Monday of a long weekend I visited this grocery store again. The hamburger available? Dated three days ago. The asparagus I got? Slimey and no longer good.
Culpeper has grown by leaps and bounds in the past years. We have two Starbucks now! A Lowes, a Kohls, a Target, a Petsmart — some wonderful stores!! When, oh when, are we going to get a “real” grocery store?

Try shopping at the Farmers Markets. The produce is better most times and supports our local growers.

Two Food Lions had work done recently, but why didn’t one get turned into a Bloom? Might not have solved the problem, but it would’ve been something.
