Do you know if Nemo has sexy shrimp right now? I've been wanting to get some, Southern just got some but they are a little expensive.
I don’t think so. They get stock in every Thursday though

I wish I had a lfs like that around here: -(
The nicest is probably half that size but I boycotted them because the guy laughed at me when I asked for them to turn up the white lights so I can actually see the mariculure mini colonies. They run deep blue only and you literally can't see the flesh of the corals. I was offended and haven't been back in almost 2 years. Now a days I bring I really nice flashlight, streamlight, like what the police use.

Deep blues make me angry lol, daylight spectrum looks so much better. I try to shoot for a sort of violet look, best I can do with an AI prime.

10/14k(ushio/ pheonix) bulbs seem to rub my eyeballs just the right way. My hydra64s match the 14k very well with the spectrum wheel. But even with all 3 @100%, it just doesn't have the brightness(-40%) of the 2 halides) or shimmer. I bet the primes would color match pretty well. Try turning them to 14k spectrum, see how you like it (?)

Not in Los Angeles. Actually is reasonable priced in comparison to most other stores here.
Second this. Especially produce. Sometimes half the price as Albertson's/Ralph's/Stater and better quality--I really think my Albertson's hosts juggling training in the off-hours with the apples and oranges.

This coral keeps shedding chips that spread. It’s like some weird propagation strategy. Though I guess it’s one of three corals I could and probably should start fragging to stop total overgrowth

Sounds like you need Aldi. Ever wondered what would happen if a grocery store tried to reduce their prices by only having one person work an entire store? That’s right. The shelves looks like someone just dumped whatever into them and the line for the one cash register is going down the isles. Aldi, where shopping is…. well it’s cheap.


Also look at these reviews. Why would I shop anywhere else.

Your Sprouts is not well liked! I find the main complaint with TJ's and Sprouts is that they don't have everything.

We’re just spoiled by the real Buford highway market. Sprouts sounds like the sort of place you’d go to pay $20 for a kale salad. But here a disgruntled customer who apparently still shops there twice a week :face-with-tears-of-joy:

The prices are generally really good. TJ's and Sprouts aren't Whole Foods/Gelson's style overpriced BS. But I understand that review. My 3 local TJs have really good produce, but at my old TJ, you had to watch for expired food. I also don't buy bread at TJs because it goes off before I can use it (and I don't like their bread that much). Sounds like you've got a good grocery market anyway!

I just shop at Walmart or in the woods for most of my groceries. Occasionally Sam's Club or Costco.
Oddly enough I never got into hunting despite my ENTIRE family being avid hunters (except me and my brother). My dad would joke that I didn't eat beef till I was 10. That was basically when we moved away and he didn't have time for hunting anymore either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That said, I could call a turkey right on over into the oven! Fast forward 20 years and I got a lot of funny stares from calling a turkey out of someone's yard in Mozambique -- I thought it quite entertaining finding a turkey in Africa. Locals didn't share my enthusiasm, though.
