Not sure about the one on Rio Marin. I did get into the one by the Frari, and prices on a few of the things I normally buy are lower, so that's a good thing. The same people were working- that's also a good thing. Instead of having the TEssera for discounts, they have something called the Conad Piu card, which you use for discounts, but it is tied to your bank account and payments are made with that. That doesn't appeal to me one bit, and I have heard from other locals they aren't keen on that plan either. It's always something :)karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387141835879842596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-39942140845335422422015-03-04T10:49:10.509-05:002015-03-04T10:49:10.509-05:00still waiting on the grand opening...still waiting on the grand opening...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-59588801847289798032015-02-25T14:25:45.996-05:002015-02-25T14:25:45.996-05:00Yes, yesterday I expected to be shopping at Conad,...Yes, yesterday I expected to be shopping at Conad, since their big adverstisement says from Feb 23, however I discovered Billa was still in operation. Today was their last day. Conad opens March 7. So we'll all be at Rialto or Coop or Punto for the next week! I will probably bump into you at one of those, maybe more than once :)karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387141835879842596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-37435640376806589612015-02-25T13:55:44.819-05:002015-02-25T13:55:44.819-05:00oh wow. i saw the signs, but had no idea. and wh...oh wow. i saw the signs, but had no idea. and when we went in on monday and there were no vegetables, i just figured it was a supply thing. but today the refrigerated sections were almost completely empty. looks like more travel to the panorama...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-19324078914074442782015-02-23T16:24:45.757-05:002015-02-23T16:24:45.757-05:00Emma- I love my Billa bags!

It was the closest to where I would rent. Also it was open on Sunday mornings -- a big plus for those of us who arrive back in town on Saturdays.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08249874735043959774noreply@blogger.com
