My daughter loves and introduced us. So with UVA move-in inexperienced a new store and was impressed. They offer nearby surface parking, but at peak times it's challenging. The lot is a bit tight and weekends congested. All good though and no debris. My Saturday experience on a UVA move-in would not be typical. So in my opinion it really tested them. It was crazy full, but still stocked. The staff was working hard to ensure customers had the products they needed. Many of the staff i encountered said hello and was working hard! Although Trader Joe's stores are smaller than traditional types of groceries like say Kroger they pack a ton into their space. TJ's is best known for their frozen foods and there has not been a single item I have been disappointed with. However like any product from Trader Joe's if you are not saturated shied bring it back for a refund, just keep the container and receipt. Checkout was smooth and cashier friendly. Bring your own bags and save some. My daughter will be a regular.

I have my favorite Trader Joe's items, and I was surprised how many of them were absent. But I certainly found things worth buying at a decent price. Their oat milk chocolate is really an excellent entry into the non-dairy scene, and I like having steamed lentils to add protein to my dishes. Even when I don't find everything I want due to limited selection, I don't find visiting one of these stores to be a bad decision.

We used to come to Martin's a lot more frequently back in 2022-2023, but we ended up stopping…read morealtogether after a couple of bad experiences with the folks that work there and a few other factors. The first bad interaction we had was when we picked up one of the green carts, to which one of the employees snatched it out of my hands and told me this cart is for the online pick up orders only. Mind you, I had used the green carts before - I preferred them because they could hold more items - and nobody ever told me different. The lady just told me to grab another cart that wasn't green and left as though she hadn't done anything wrong. When I went to complain about it at the desk, they said they couldn't do anything about it but that I was free to pick up another green cart if there was one available. The second bad experience was with a lady working the gas station. We had saved up a lot of points through our purchases to get some money off gas, so I figured well let's try to fill up both our cars with the discount. I didn't see a sign out saying we couldn't, so we lined it up until we hit our max (which I think is 35 gallons). The attendant came telling us we weren't allowed to do that but I asked where did it say we couldn't? If the max is 35 gallons, does it matter where those gallons go into? Nowhere on the Martin's Fuel Savings page does it say you can only fuel one car with those savings. I didn't feel like arguing about it - so we only filled up the one car. God forbid anybody tried to maximize their discounts. Another factor is that the produce at this Martin's has a very annoying habit of going bad very fast. We thought it was just us - but we'd have our fruits and vegetables start to rot 2-3 days after we purchased them here. For reference, we had produce at Walmart last a week or longer - but at Martin's - it's almost like it was always ready to go bad. We noticed this on multiple visits. There was maybe a handful of times that it didn't go bad right away - but we ended up just not getting our produce here before we just quit coming. Lastly, we had one or two bad interactions with some of the other shoppers here. I think some of the folks that shop here have this idea in their mind that only some people of a specific social class shop at Martin's and it's a little hilarious because we're in Culpeper of all places. This town is filled with hardworking men and women and so it's bizarre to see a place that has people think this way. This isn't a Martin's thing - but something we've observed only here. I truly don't think every Martin's shopper thinks this way - it's just sad to have encountered it. It's all to say that I just don't feel comfortable shopping here anymore. If nothing else, the produce has consistently shown to go bad faster than the produce at Walmart and it's cheaper at Walmart than it is over here. It's a shame.

I've always been quite a snob about Dollar General, but let me tell you: I was quite pleased to…read morefind it open on a Sunday in teeny tiny Madison. I was staying with family in Etlan, and of course we ran out of some necessities. The corner store in that town doesn't open until 1:00 on Sunday, and we didn't want to wait, so we crossed our fingers and headed out to Madison. We'd almost driven through the entire town (took about thirty seconds), when we saw the sign for Dollar General. Ecstatic, we ran in and loaded up on all the essentials (milk, cereal, coffee, candy, Gatorade, Oreos, razors, and chips). The prices actually were pretty low, and while the store is small, they had most anything you could need, and several options of most items. There were a few customers in line before us, but it moved quickly, and the cashier was cute and friendly. Yes, it's a Dollar General, so a little dingy and poorly organized, but all in all they get a big thumbs up from me.

My one complaint: the parking lot is always filled with litter and other debris, and there are no receptacles for trash. This is a business where people exit and begin unwrapping their purchases. The patrons are also coming and going with fast food items. What is the inevitable result except piles of trash in the parking lot? Why would no accommodation be made for this? It makes the entire neighbor look like a mess. A second, vastly lesser complaint: The area at the cash registers is too clogged up with merchandise and displays. Clear things out a little, please. I have mentioned both of these concerns to various employees, and no one responds. Respond, and I'll upgrade your rating.

This little market in the Albemarle Square shopping center represents the only place to purchase…read morefresh goat meat in Charlottesville. The goat meat I have bought from here is very fresh, tender, and of a high quality. The proprietor cuts it to order, and the price charged for the meat is quite reasonable. The store receives goat deliveries on Sundays and Thursdays, so get your meat those days to make sure they have it in stock. I haven't tried the beef or chicken they also offer here, but I imagine those meats are of an equally high quality. The store also offers a decent selection of Middle Eastern and South Asian dry goods (spices, condiments, etc), a few fresh vegetables, and some refrigerated items. The premises itself is kept very clean and the service here is always friendly and helpful. This market is thus a must visit for anyone looking to buy fresh goat meat or any enthusiast of Middle Eastern food.

You won't see spacious shelves, food demonstrations or tons of employees in the grocery aisle. I like the food selections. The produce items are usually high quality and cheaper than most other stores. I have gotten a bunch of bananas for as low as .24. That price varies but it always cheaper than Safeway, Giant, Harris Teeter, Whole Foods and Shopper's. Crackers are normally cheaper at Aldi too. Merci chocolate packages range from $6.99 to .$9.99 at other stores. I just bought several for thank you gifts and paid $4.99 a piece. The owners have an innovative way of never having to collect their own shopping carts. You have to have a quarter to "deposit" into the cart to unlock it from the other carts. Your quarter is returned to you as soon as you replace the cart. If you don't have change, the cashiers are happy to give you change for any bills. Bring grocery bags. If you forget them Aldi has a wonderful giant reusable bag that you can purchase. I am not a fan of their plastic bags. They don't last long if you have heavy items. You won't find many brand name items but the products are produced in the same warehouses as the brand name items and are just as good. This location isn't near my house but I enjoy stopping by when I am in the area. The employees are nice. The bathrooms are clean.
