I had heard of IGA before moving here because we had one close to us growing up in Utah, but didn't really know much about them. I recently got an ad in the mail that had really good coupons that were good for the next four weeks (different coupons for every week). I ended up going to take advantage of some of these good deals and was very impressed with IGA. It was a nice change from the atmosphere that I'm used to at Wal-Mart. They store is nice and clean. A few things that I was impressed with: (1) their health food section-not something that you find at every store in Champaign, I had been looking for some Larabars that were requested by my sister who is on a mission and this is the only places that I have found them (2) sanitizing wipes for the grocery carts-I know it's a small thing, but important for someone with a baby who loves to touch the cart and then suck on their hands (3)the employees at smaller grocery stores are just different then at places like Wal-Mart. They're very helpful and know what they're doing.
