JC Market Thriftway Toledo — Local services in Toledo

For nine years of living in this small town, owning a home here, having the same bank account for the whole 9 yrs...I've dealt with unfresh, rotten and or moldy fruits, vegetables and bread from this store; further more being the only grocery store in town, me and every other person in this small town have had to deal with them raping our wallets with their convenience store price tags. Today was the last straw...I forgot my debit card at home. I asked the checker if they took checks, she said "yes, if you're a local".

So I took them back to the store and asked to speak to the manager, I did check the bakery display where it looked unchanged from the previous day. The manager was unapologetic and I'm doing this review in retaliation don't eat from the...

JC market is changing. Even with just the rumors of tariffs the prices have gone up 80%. The one thing that would bring me into my local store was the soda machine. And now they've removed that. That has cut about half of my business out. I tried to buy a small pack of stew meat, it's almost doubled in price for the same amount! I will not buy cheese unless it's under $8. I'm not paying $13 for a block of cheese so now I have to go to Fred Meyer for that. Many other things I have completely stopped buying because the prices have become outrageous. I've become a Newport store bouncer. Shopping at 2 or 3 different stores to get the products that are the cheapest. Sorry JC, but sometimes keeping the simple things will keep...
