Can you elaborate on this?

I totally agree with your other point that others are catching up and I think they realized they don't need to have an entire organic store just certain key items(grass fed beef, good produce to make everyone happy.

Perfect example: they sampled jalapeño Brie with some fancy cracker and fig jam. I was shopping for a Christmas party and bought two of each. We used one for the party. It was dated with a 2/28/17 sell by date.

The little cheese wheel was wrapped in plastic. Unwrap it, as I did last week, and lo and behold, the date sticker under the plastic wrap says 12/21/16.

They play similar games with cut fruit and other stuff. I can get same or better stuff at Hannaford for 1/3 the cost.
