If you haven't seen this, at Ralph's they are selling gift cards in increments of $300 (up to $1200) that are tied in with one's Ralph's card. The idea is that they'll give you a 10% bonus. So, you buy a $300 card, you get $30 free. $1200, you get $120 free. A 10% return on one's money, esp. these days, is not to be sneezed at, I say. Offer ends July 31.

I prefer to shop at Ralphs because it is clean and orderly.

People don't push.

But you have to be constantly on your guard for non-kosher food.

You can relax more at Glatt Mart where everything is kosher, and at Eilat Market where almost everything is kosher (watch out for the cheese!).
