Giant Eagle

This is unexcusable. Giant Eagle in Colonial Plaza Canfield Ohio, the usual overpriced produce.
But look at picture. Onions, $ 2.29 a pound, and they are sprouting. And this much growth means they have been out here past date when they should have been donated by a week.
Love those commercials from the CEO, who says she wouldn’t sell it if it wasn’t good enough for her family.
Feel sorry for them. Was this review too over the top? Maybe. But for what they charge, I want what I am paying for.
So, I needed onions, little sign say Vidalia onions, two 2.5 lb bags for five bucks. Well, they are breaking the law here. BY LAW, you cannot label an onion as a Vidalia onion unless it is grown in a specific area of Vidalia, Georgia. THESE onions are grown in Mexico. Seriously? These folks at Giant Eagle really scraped bottom of barrel on this one. This is embarrassing, how the Giant Eagle is lying about this, more pictures attached.
I am really lenient with my reviews, and usually ignore the bad, but when a chain lies like this, it sux.
I changed review from one star to two. I did buy some stuff, and the folks are nice, but lying about a copy written item, i.e. purposely mislabeling an item in this case Vidalia onions, and substituting some really lousy looking onions that were grown and packed in Mexico is against the law. It is the same as saying a cut of beef is Kobe, when you got it from Farmer Bob’s House’o’Beef.

This Iggle has a great bakery. Better than many of the mom ‘n pop bakeries around. Great cakes. Affordable as well.

I love giant eagle and their fuel perks… buying slightly overpriced groceries and in return they give you a mini discount on overpriced gas. That’s so nice of them.
I actually dislike the idea that you need to have a card to get the price but in the end it pays to have it and use it. If you don’t have one ask the person behind you for theirs, do the account look up, or apply for a new one. Chances are you bought something that could be discounted.
The thing with giant eagle is that it is the grocery store in the area that is best known for one stop shopping. They generally have what you are looking for and no second trip is needed for what they didn’t have.
