I still find some of the best grocery deals at Gerbes, even with all the promotions from the other competing stores. With the store card, many items are cheaper than at other grocery stores in town. Add that to double coupons, and you can get some really great steals. Most of the employees are friendly and helpful, although I will admit, they have a few long time staff that could use some training in customer service. Other than that, I prefer Gerbes to Hy-Vee, Wal-Mart and Schnucks for overall value for the majority of my grocery shopping.
