TLDR: non profit tells residents shit they already knew

Market Basket is the cheapest

Wegmans and Whole Foods are the most expensive but best quality.

Stop and Shop can get fucked

I hate Stop & Shop I only go when I need something convenient. It’s as unpleasant to shop as Market Basket, nearly as expensive as Roche Bros and the quality is total crap.

The only reason I go to Stop & Shop is they carry a chocolate milk I love.

Perhaps they should blind test the store brand greek yogurt then cause market basket dairy is abysmal

What do they define as quality? I often find market basket products have better ingredients than other ones.

As far as Produce, they have an amazing range of items. Some stores carry more/different items depending what neighborhood they’re in. In my opinion, because they are so busy it’s as fresh as it gets. Other store are for show Market Basket is there for the people!

Produce is the one thing that keeps me from Market Basket the most. I used to live a 5 min walk from one and still went elsewhere because their strawberries would be moldy after 1 day in the fridge, oranges were dry, and I can’t even start on salad ingredients.

I’m ok paying more for quality. Wegmans and Star (both near my job) are my produce go to.

Inconsistent restocking. Prices. No more real butcher, everything comes to the store prepackaged now.

Everyone who works there was horrified that they were doing away with the butcher.

I actually worked there long ago. Shit unions . You get bennies mostly for the the butcher's while most employees are better off taking advantage of zero copay medicaid.unions protect the worse so you really have no reason to give a shit, except to get hours. Even the bathrooms are shit.

The union does save people from the whims of retail management. Ya, there are stupid parts of it. Stewards only becoming stewards so they won't get transferred, etc.

Wegmans frozen veggies are surprisingly cheap. Like, they're the only thing I buy there because they're so cheap.
