A strange thing has happened since our return to California. After years of reliably shopping at traditional grocery stores, we have started shopping for groceries at a small ethnic food store near our house called Oakmont Produce. This is strange because this small store has proven to be a complete replacement for our full-size Nob Hill and Safeway stores.
Oakmont offers better quality food at better prices. While they lack the broad selection of a larger store, they have a very complete selection of the simple ethnic foods that we are now eating. And their selection of local fruit and vegetables is much better than the traditional stores.
It's hard to imagine that a small store in a strip-mall could so easily a major grocery store, but for us it certainly has.
