Does anyone have information about Giant Eagle?

Grocery chain out of the Pittsburgh area. Other than evil Kroger, it's the grocery closest to me.

From opensecrets.org.

Interesting mix of Repug/Dem. What flavor is Mascara? I'm not familiar with him down here. But one asshole gave to Santorum....

Sorry...couldn't resist. :silly: I looked him up, and he's a dem. Looks like the big bird has donated mainly to dem candidates. That's a good thing, since I love the bird, and their competition in my neighborhood is evil Kroger.

Thanks for the info!! :yourock:

...because they keep sending me coupons. But Krogers and Meijers are closer to me, and that's already a dilemma, because Kroger has a far better organic foods section. Everything else I try to buy at Meijers now. But maybe I should check out Giant Eagle, see what their prices are like, and whether they have an organic section....

i did a bunch of research on grocers in the area and now I plan my shopping and go to two stores that are 3 miles further away but support my causes and treat their employees well

costs a bit more, so I just shop smarter :)
