D'Agostino, or Dag, as it often gets called around here, is the closet grocery store to my apartment. It's your average store, generally no more overpriced than most. It's got a rewards program of some kind, the green card, which of course I have become a member of in search of deals. There's a few locations around as far as I know, though I only know where the one near me is. So let's talk pros and cons.

Pros

• It's close, so always easy to grab last minute needs.
• It has a rewards card program, so it's theoretically possible to save money through the program.
• Like most grocery stores, it has all commonly used produce year round, so you're not sort of guessing what there should be in that day.
• Generally no more expensive than any other run of the mill grocery store

Cons

• Worst rewards program ever. It works on a system of getting points by spending money and then redeeming those points. Most of the time, you don't have enough points to save any money. Last time I got a points statement, I learned that since I started using the card, I've saved like $35. I've had the card for a year. Stupid.
• Produce is often almost bad or actually rotten. I've opened heads of lettuce to find the insides putrid.
  
• While not more expensive than anywhere else, still pretty expensive. Tomatoes can be between $4-$5 a pound, usually closer to $5.

I don't actually like shopping at Dag. I always end up spending more money than I want to and the produce quality is pretty sub-par. If I'm going to spend money, I'd rather buy good quality food that won't rot so quick. Plus I find the rewards program beyond annoying. So Dags is a general no for me. There are better places around to get what I need. Nothing here is particularly good or cheap, so it's not usually on my list of places to shop during the week. But should I forget something on one of my food adventures? Dags is where I go. So I suppose it has it's uses. Well.
