1. The situation with shopping baskets is really bad. 2. ALWAYS check the produce EXPIRATION DATE !!!
PS. I need to follow my own warnings. How I managed to buy ketchup with expiration date almost a year ago...

Picked up a few things and the selection was good. Prices are a little high but it was convenient.
