Restore in Pittsfield is the best restore I have been to. It’s huge and not as picked through at the ones out East. If you are interested in antique furniture as well I have had good luck at 202 antiques in Westfield. Although it can be pricey the brimfield flea market in May, July and September can be a good option if you are looking for specific things like door knobs and other hardware

Wmass native who know lives in eastern mass. I go to Big Y 90% of the time. Shaws is closed but as others have said their produce and meat selection is sub par. I was going to wegmans but it was just too damn crowded all the time. I think Big Y’s produce is far superior and I like their bakery. I also like how they source local goods especially when wmass asparagus is in season. Plus when I’m in there it’s like a little taste of home.
