Stop & Shop prices for shitty food are nearly as much as Whole Foods prices for conventional veggies that aren't rotten - and meat that doesn't spoil before you get it home to the fridge.

S&S quality has dropped to F-tier as of late.

Whole Foods also has stocked shelves, which S&S doesn't have. My guess is Ahold Delhaize has more of a priority keeping Albert Heijin's supply chain up and running. Us ugly Americans are an afterthought to the Belgians who run S&S.
