Lowe's

As for the Mercado, the store is always clean and they usually have great deals on fresh produce and meat. I can't say the same for everything else. Prices tend to be rather steep on things like name brand box pastas, certain canned veggies, ice cream, cereal and soft/sport drinks. Usually these items cost about twice as much as your local HEB. But over all the experience is pleasant and no where near as hectic as an HEB. I can appreciate the Ace hardware store conveniently located next door. It helps to consider the Lowes a one stop shop. But the prices are down right crazy. Will gladly make my way to Sutherlands in Alice.
