re: Rouses in BR: amazing to watch the decline in quality of the store on Drusilla

Well, it does rhyme with Louses.

Seriously, I'm pretty hardcore about grocery shopping. I cook a lot and I've rarely been able to get what I need without hitting three stores... and doing that on a regular 2-3 times a week basis. I thought Leblanc's Drusilla was pretty great when it opened but the high-end and expensive stock was very quickly replaced with the more affordable. I was done when Rouses took over. After giving virtually every store a shot, I've resigned to Albertsons as best for the main list, then produce markets and specialty types for the rest. Granted, Albertson's is high and still drops the ball occasionally but by far the best big chain store IMO.
