The stop & shop on central is absolutely awful. It’s never fully stocked and they have limited options and it’s super over priced. If you already in the heights you might as well go to the shop rite in north Bergen. It’s larger than the Hoboken shop rite and easier to navigate.

I guess I have some affection for Stop and Shop because when I lived in the neighborhood, it was that or the C-Town on Central, which was far and away worse than any of these other options. Probably should have gone to North Bergen! I often used to take the elevator down to the Hoboken Shop Rite.

That C-town though 😒 unfortunately it’s walking distance from me so I’ll go pick something up if I’m really in a pinch but I try to avoid it as much as possible!

Same. I'd never get meat there, but I'm only a few blocks away, so it's unavoidable sometimes.

Nice list, though I'd drop Supremo and Stop and Shop waaaaay down. Both are gross nightmares
