I recently went to Woodlake for some specialty deli and cheeses for an antipasto platter. Sadly, I was very disappointed to find that they have discontinued many of the unique items they once proudly served. Additionally, the deli counter girl said she was unable to cut the procuitto thinly with the slicer they have and promptly directed me to the prepackaged items. I once was able to count on this market for super fresh fish and meats. The meat and fish case looked less then fresh. Understandably there are too many of us that use the other bigger chain operations for our mainstay groceries to keep prices down. It is tough for a smaller grocery to compete. However, now the choices for finer items are not there. I could find fresher meats and fish in other higher volume stores and I can get the same "prepackaged" stuff at the Pig. Give me a reason to keep shopping here?
