Editorial Review for Thrifty Ice Cream – by Jordana Brown
In Short
After Rite Aid acquired Thrifty Drugstores in 1996, corporate execs wisely decided to continue serving Thrifty ice cream, an Angeleno favorite. Modest ice cream counters still stand front and center in the remodeled stores. While the cylindrical scoops may not hold up to today's high-buttercream gourmet ice creams, Thrifty's price is right. The menu offer some new creations, like mild Medieval Madness (cream, caramel and chocolate chips). Standbys include rocky road, rainbow sherbet and pecan praline.

Less product for more money seems to be the new American way of life. Corporate America has been scamming its customers at an alarming rate lately. I fear that the dumbing down of the general public is a frightning sucess. I am over 60 years old and have have been enjoing Thrifty Ice Cream for more years than memory serves. New managenment of Rite Aid has gotten greedy and has decided to value the bottom line far more than it's fine reputation that has been built over many years of good value to it's loyal customers. I am refering to the new marketing scheme of Thrifty Ice Cream. It recently sold a good product in a simple but efective package at a reasonable price. Now Rite Aid has changed the low cost packing to a more costly desinger package that is holding less product and is offered to it's unsuspecting customers at a higher price. Shame on Rite Aid for ripping off it's loyal customers. I continue to consume more than my share of ice cream from Rite Aid's competeters.

I love this Ice Cream I can't remember when I first tried this Ice Cream. I just know I was really little and everytime I eat this Ice Cream I'm in a great mood. I just wished they made chocolate chocolate chip because I'm not a big fan on of the chocolate maulted crunch , I don't like the crunch:(
Pros: Taste, variety, price
Cons: I want chocolate chocolate chip!!
