No more Big savings since 'Times supermarket' took over 'Big Save' on Kaua'i...
I am very disheartened over the corporate purchase. One of the employees told me anonymously that they can no longer mark down meats, cheeses and other perishables about to expire as was the common practice of 'Big Save.'
