Walmart has no bags— no paper or plastic. Single use plastic bags are banned. Places like Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s have free paper bags.

Stop and Shop has gone a little heavy on inflation— seek out other grocery stores.

Bottle deposit is $0.05, increasing to $0.10 on 1/1/24. The bottles should be sorted between glass, cans, and plastic. Redemption centers take all bottles, stores only take brands they sell.

There is an annual car tax, you’ll get a bill in the mail. Don’t be fooled by the low cost to register a car— more costs are coming.

We don’t have tolls. If you’ll be driving more in NY, get a NY EZ Pass to save on bridge tolls. If driving more in MA, get a MA EZ Pass.

Choose a competitive supplier for electricity. Check EnergizeCT for details after you get your first electric bill.

Just checked, Walmart is $7.88 for 12p Grape Fanta. They probably have Great Value brand but don’t list it online.

S&S essentially costs the same as WFs now. Don't know about Shoprite or Big Y. I do know in Ffld County S&S better up their game (produce has been sucking wind) because Shop Rite is renovating (Canton store is my only reference for a reno'ed Shop Rite and it's really nice), Stews Leonards has a better selection, Wegmans is building a store, and TJs is much cheaper.
