I used to love Kroger because their store brand was comparable to most national brands, but lately in Kentucky it seems that all of the local stores are slipping. Below are a few offenses that I've encountered over the past six months. <br /> #1 Every single time I buy the Kroger heavy whipping cream, it smells foul and spoiled. I live seven minutes from a large Marketplace Kroger, and I have an insulated bag for cold items. <br /> #2 I opened up a can of the Kroger light red kidney beans to find that, upon draining, the can was less than half full of product and almost completely water.<br /> #3 For Christmas I had purchased a fresh never frozen turkey so as to be able to bypass the thawing process. It cost $45 for a trukey, but I thought that it was worth it to get a fresh one. I opened it two days prior to set up a brining process only to find that it was frozen solid. <br /> #4 I was in their store yesterday(4/7/16), an the produce department had mold in almost every display. The 10/$10 peppers were bruised and molding, the pineapples were in crates and on shelves were all wilting or covered in mold (the cardboard crates were also soggy looking and had mold on the top. Both the red and sweet onions had decaying product that was turning the onions around them rancid with mold and moisture. Two spots had strawberries but both the cooler and display had numerous moldy packages. The grapes had bags with molded grapes on the bottom and sides from what I assume is rough handling....<br /> #4 I purchased sushi during this same trip and brought it home quickly to offset spoiling. My husband put one bite in his mouth and spit it out. I picked up the container and noticed that it had an overwhelming smell of fish, meaning it was bad. <br /> #5 The baggers are young and not paying attention. Every single time I purchase a loaf of bread from this store it winds up in a bag with either a jar or a heavy can and it winds up squished.
