Market Basket has seriously ruined me for other grocery stores. I used to treat having to do last minute shopping at Shaw's as a waste, but now it actually makes me angry and I've developed a bad habit of bitching about exactly how much cheaper the items I'm purchasing would be if I were at MB. I could very easily dock Market Basket a star or two for being too busy (go on a weeknight or on a weekend before noon if possible), too crowded (skip the carts and get a basket if you value your sanity) or too sawdusty (don't wear pants or skirts that drag the floor), but honestly, what's the point? The main reason I go to Market Basket is because just about everything is at least a dollar less than it would be at a mainstream supermarket (and often much more), so that's the primary factor on which I'm basing my review. Don't get me wrong--the food selection here is excellent and the quality of the fresh foods is also surprisingly good and insanely cheap. Deli meats, cheeses, seafood and lobster are excellent buys here, as are most fruits and veggies. The organic produce, however, is rather disappointing, and what is organic is usually prepackaged, which is almost always a means to foist a few bad pieces of fruit on you along with the good (kind of like those discount DVD "collections" they're always trying unload at Target and Costco). There are also many good deals on non-food items here--I make my own cleaning supplies and Market Basket is one of the few stores in the area that sells staples like borax, washing powder and Fels-Naptha soap. To finish: come early, come with a list (and stick to it!), and avoid the horrors of the parking lot by only buying as much as you can carry and catching the bus home. read more

I probably could write a novel about this place. At the very least it will be part of of my memoir (if I were the type of person to have a memoir). I'm going to go all out and say 5 stars. Here's why: -Is it mostly (if not always) a crowded/ hellish nightmare? Yes -Have I literally had to calm someone behind me in line down because, in his words "this is the most people I have ever seen in my whole life"? (He was overreacting) But, yes -Am I addicted the the bulk (70 cents for like 15) fortune cookies? No... YES -Is this place expensive? NO. ITS SUPER CHEAP. Me and my friend always say some words of encouragement (or swears) when trying to find a spot or navigating the aisle without bumping someone. Whatever. It's usually kind of fun if your only getting a few items and you know what you need. Now if you need to get some meat cut, and have a child, and its 5pm- it's probably going to suck for you. But at least your saving that $$ read more

Big fan of the Market Basket. It's a great place to get good value. Now, like Haymarket, I recommend you take shopping here as an adventure. If you can, shop on less busy times and NOT at 8:45 pm (they close at 9, and they're nice about it but they WILL kick you out at nine.) Don't worry about the sawdust on the floor, it's a very eco friendly approach to spill maintenance. Do notice how many of the employees seem almost unnervingly happy to be there. (maybe it's something about the neck ties). Best buys here: produce - including interesting varieties like plantains, yucca, batata, several kinds of yam, bok choi and its cousins, good prices on apples and oranges too. Cereals - try the store brand, it's really not bad. Meats - and clearly enough people know this that they move quickly. Want to really save? Buy a whole frozen bird or entire 14 pound side of hog. Or pigs feet and tongue - very good value. My other stock up thing here is their wide variety of inexpensive unglamorous, tasty frozen vegetables. You can get little meal enliveners like a bag of red and green pepper, okra, broccoli, etc. Mix that into a pasta primavera with some store brand italian dressing and you've got one good looking cheap meal! read more

I grudgingly award four stars to Market Basket for the sheer affordability of the place. Three times out of four, the item you were about to buy at Shaw's down the road is cheaper at the Market Basket. Yeah you may have to wrestle it out of the hands of a grandma, and you may memorize the tabloid headlines from standing in the checkout line for so long, but when the cashier rings you up and you realize that you just bought a month's worth of groceries for the same price as your most recent bar tab (well, my recent bar tab, that is), you'll walk out with a smile on your face. My only complaint is the deli. The wait isn't that long but I feel like they always shortchange me on my pound of turkey. read more

Really, I could have sworn I reviewed this place. Anyway, it's no secret that Market Basket has the best prices ever! Just to give you an example, my salmon Philadelphia cream cheese that I buy here for $1.79 will run for $2.29 ON SALE at Shaws once every three to six months. I love this place to death. Yeah, it's no sickeningly clean like no one ever shops there. It's crowded and not totally put together, but not to the point where it's disgusting. This just means that things haven't been sitting on the shelves since 1999. And that's a good thing. There's tons of different cultures of people that go through here, which means there's an array of different ethnic food products here. And the produce is so cheap and so fresh, much fresher than any other chain supermarket in the area. Prices that I'm actually used to. This is like a little bit of home in Massachusetts and for that I love it. The only things to beware of is parking can truly suck and the lines at the cash registers can suck even more. But this is remedied by coming at off-peak times, i.e. not Saturday or Sunday during the day. read more

Mom's been shopping here my whole life. You think bread and circus' pretty pyramids of apples and oranges make the produce better? no. market basket has the best produce around. period. normal food - if you like it organic go somewhere else. for cheap plain simple food without the red carpet, market basket is the winner. read more

Having grown up with a MB in New Hampshire both as a shopper and a employee, I have a certain nostalgic feeling about Market Basket. One thing worth pointing out - not only will you actually have a bagger at the check-out, you will have a bagger who knows how to bag correctly. So, maybe the lines are long, but at least some efficiency is gained by having a bagger. I love MB!! Go early Sunday morning if you want a reasonable crowd. read more

In the good old days of 2007 I lived up the street from this place. Now I live in Beacon Hill and I actually drive back weekly. The main reason I still go is for the full selection of "ethnic" foods that usually only get a small shelf in other stores, but at MB they get three full aisles. You will find stuff here that cookbooks will tell you can only be found at speciality grocers. It took me almost a year to venture up to the deli counter, but finally I did and now I order alongside the Italians (among many other nationalities) and stock up on genoa salami for mere dollars. I don't think anyone who likes this place ever goes on the weekends. Seriously, it's not worth it. read more

My wife and I are from France and England. We have been shopping at the Market Basket since 2002. There is a good variety of very fresh produce and organic food if you so desire. If you are on a budget the prices are reasonable. The Market Basket has a very diverse and friendly clientele. Furthermore the Market Basket offers employment to hard working immigrants. The cashiers are always very courteous, polite,clean and smiling. We have been very disappointed with Whole Foods, were the clientele is unsmiling, pushy and lacking in good manners. So Hurrah to Market Basket in Somerville. read more

Was it wrong of me to move to Somerville partly because I wanted to be closer to the Meeb? No. It was so, so right. So cheap, such good produce, wide selection of foods...and the sawdust lends a certain je ne sais quoi to the ambience. Yes, the MB gets very crowded. But I'll take crowds over shopping at freakin' Shaw's any day. Hell, I'll take smallpox-infected crowds of chronic coughers over Shaw's any day. I'm totally sittin' in the tree with the MB, k-i-s-s-i-n-g. read more

2 stars because everything is so very fairly priced and the customer service is excellent! My gripe is with the facilities. I have to shop here every week for work. The parking situation is horrid, I suggest going either early in the AM or before they close unless you want to fight for a spot. And then fight for a cart when you come inside. The aisles are extremely cramped, and do not bring your cart in the fruit and vegetables area as you will become stuck and have to wait for several people to pass by. Be careful when you first come in by the cheese and eggs, you will be stopped or get stuck because it is too narrow for the amount of people to get the products they want. If you can, go to the MB in Chelsea. The aisles are huge and their fresh produce selection is insane! I love Market Baskets and religiously food shop at the chain, but this store and parking lot is too damn small! read more

I spent a year shopping at a closer grocery store and complaining about how expensive the prices are in MA compared to back home. Then I finally went to Market Basket. Prices are the same price as what I'm used to back home. The meat selection is solid and there's always multiple types of meat on sale. The generic market basket brand is super cheap and overall everything is good quality. The store is really crowded basically all the time on weekends, unfortunately. Like you'll be stuck in a traffic jam of people and carts waiting to look at meat or get through an aisle. The lines also seem terribly long. Sometimes the cashier and bagger are just talking to each other instead of paying attention and working quickly, which adds on to the wait, but it's never really that bad. I'd take off stars but I'm just really excited to have a reasonably priced place to get all my food and stuff. read more

If it weren't for the Market Basket in Chelsea, I would have changed my mind to ever shop again at Market Basket looking at this one. Its cheaper than Star Market, Stop N Shop etc. but the experience is not pleasant at all. You start with a horrible parking space to deal with. Then it keeps getting worse. The aisles are narrow with no space to move around with the cart. The crowd makes you think its probably the end of world tomorrow. There are people constantly bothering you for space and it just makes you want to get out of there as so as possible, which you can't because you have to deal with the queue at the counter too. I would prefer jumping off a cliff than shopping here on a weekend. I never enjoyed doing groceries and this store just made it worse. I think I would drive extra to the Market Basket in Chelsea than deal with this mayhem. read more

How could I forget to review M-Basket.Definitely one of the cheapest and best places to get groceries in the city. The deli meat is a tremendous value and if you cruise down the frozen food aisles, you're guaranteed a plethora of amazing deals on ready made meals. I'm talking crazy deals! The sawdust EVERYWHERE can be a bit off-putting, but for prices this good, friendly servers, and a decent selection - you can not go wrong. If you live in Somerville - you MUST shop here, at least once. I think the prices and parking lot traffic have increased since word has spread about Market Basket's greatness; but it's still one of my favorite places to yelp about. read more

So... I apologize. I've lived in the Somerville area for 3+ years, and for whatever reason I just ASSUMED that this supermarket was a piece of shit. Like the Foodmaster that used to be on Broadway/Alewife Brook Parkway? I assumed it would be gross, and it was. So I guess I just looked at Market Basket on Somerville Ave and made a judgment that I've since learned was ENTIRELY WRONG. I'm sorry, Market Basket. 1) The cheese section is crazy. Brie and large logs of goat cheese for SUPER CHEAP. Like, 60% or so cheaper than similar products at the Shaw's in Porter Square. I never buy brie at Shaw's because it's $7.99+, and it was $3.99 ($3 fucking 99) at Market Basket. 2) They have the yogurt I like to eat every day for breakfast. So I don't have to make a separate trip elsewhere for that. 3) Excuse me...you're selling lobsters for $3.99/lb? $3.99 PER POUND? The deli meat I buy at Shaw's (low sodium turkey) is about $9.99/lb. So you're saying I can buy lobsters for cheaper than my deli meat? LOBSTERS FOR EVERYONE. It was a Sunday and the line was out of control, so I'll go back mid-week for the lobsters. 4) There seemed to be interesting food items here that I haven't seen at the very traditional Shaw's supermarket in Porter. 5) Avocados for $1.29/each? A bag of 5 red peppers for $3.50ish? (Usually I spend that much on just 1 or 2.) Ok, yes -- the setup of this supermarket is kind of confusing. Why is the popcorn and 100 calorie packs of almonds across from the ice cream? There was a line at least 30 min long for seafood/meat. I felt like it was so crowded and yet people were just barging down the middle of an aisle expecting others to jump out of their way. So moral -- I will return. I will return mid-day on a week-day. I will buy lobster. I will come here instead of Shaw's when I can. read more

If you're looking for Cheap this is the place to go. Even their Stonyfield Yogurts are $.10-$.15 cheaper than Shaws or Stop and Shop. Their produce lacks a bit- but in the summer they have all the fun summer foods for much cheaper and they do have a selection of Organic produce. They also don't have one of those cards you have to apply for, just stuff on sale all the time. Their Deli counter is small and always crowded but they have pretty good deli when you can get to it. Its always mass chaos inside which means you have to go ready to be annoyed and not be able to do anything about it. Just push your cart though the mess and keep repeating to yourself, I'm gonna save a lot of money, I'm gonna save a lot of money. I've spent $90 at Stop and Shop and then gone to Market Basket a couple weeks later for the same goods and spent $55-$60 so really its worth it. read more

I like how cheap food is here, but... a) everybody and their cousin's extended family shops here b) they put sawdust lookin stuff down on spills and for the winter... gross c) you can hardly move because it's packed with people d) you grow old in line e) the cops are there? f) the cops are there... read more

My favorite store! The food here is crazy cheap and good quality so I can support my elaborate cooking hobby on a grad student budget. Yes, it's crowded and you should come with a list; browsing is not advised unless you come super early in the morning. The produce is better than anything else I've seen in the area, with the exception of Whole Foods. Some of the fancier brands may not be carried, but it compensates by having everything you need to cook Latin American or Brazilian food. MB for the basics, TJs for the goodies and Super 88 for specialty Asian foods; there really should be no reason to visit any of the more expensive markets. read more

Shop at this place it is seriously about 50% cheaper than shopping at Star Market or Stop n Shop. This is a horrible grocery store, not because the selection is bad, it is limited for things like hippie/organic food, but they have everything else you could need/want. And a nice little collection of various ethinic goods. The produce is fresh, I haven't had problems with the seafood, meats, or deli stuff going bad on me in a short amount of time. They import baked goods from another Market Basket so even that stuff is nicely fresh. The reason I say it horrible is because it is ALWAYS packed (although, my car has never been dinged, scuffed or dented while here) The aisles are small and jam packed with stuff (good and bad) that and the perpetual saw dust that's on the floor...wth? Customer service has gotten better, I had an experience where the packaged hamburger I bought had a hole in it in and the meat got green and funky in 24 hrs, and they let me exchange it, and the guys was apologetic and nice, instead of giving me the "why are you bothering me while I'm at work attitude" they had a few years ago. Going in for a few things has never taken me less than 30 mins. And actual grocery shopping for the month about 1 - 1.5 hours. read more

I feel like I can legitimately write a review of Market Basket now that I have made my first family Christmas Dinner. I have been to MB several times before the holiday season and wasn't sold, but my mind has been changed. I was here about a week before Christmas on a rainy Monday at 7:30PM. The store was busy but not crazy-crowded and a staff member actually smiled at me and asked me if I was finding everything okay. AMAZING. :) Same night, I came by the butcher area and I asked a man stocking meat about possibly getting a standing rib roast. He stopped what he was doing and answered my questions very intelligently and courteously. I was starting to feel confidence in possibly getting my roast here for my Christmas meal (which, you may know, is the second most important meal of the year!). A couple of days later I called MB and was transferred to their meat department. Some one picked up and suggested I pick up the roast no earlier than 2 days before Christmas, they would write my name down to hold a 4 rib roast and there would be plenty meat cutters around to help me. Again, another intelligent conversation (I'm starting to have a thing for butchers). I rolled in to the MB parking lot at 8AM, two days before Christmas and the parking lot was packed. The store opened at 6AM during the holiday week. The store was busy but not loud- most customers were just peacefully hurrying. I went to the meat section, asked one of the guys (his tag said he'd worked there for 11 years) and was able to get a 4 rib, standing rib roast with the chine bone cut off and the meat tied for $8.99/lb. Great price! MB has everything you need, prices can't be beat and, so far, the staff has been awesome. read more

Prices are worth the hassle. For those who whine about how crowded it is or that there are no baskets - this place is not for you. You want fancy wide isles than go to Shaw's. If you are frugal and would rather spend the money you have saved on something else, than this place is for you. One piece of advice, if you must go in a car, go during the rain or snow M-Th. No lines, no parking issues. read more

The prices are amazing. This place is best for an every other week trip for groceries. Five well earned supermarket stars. Produce variety is solid and the produce prices are excellent. The meat case here has more pork products than I ever remember seeing in Boston. Excellent variety and plenty of bargins The employees here were friendly and genuinely helpful. Two of the employees were singing some love song in Spanish. They were singing while stocking the shelves. The deli crew was funny and provided fast polite service. Like others have noted, the checkout employees here are lightening fast. I heard seven or eight language spoken while cruising through the market, a little United Nations in Somerville. I wonder if any of the movie casting agents know about this place. No shortage seniors poking their way through the place. Go in the off hours, I did and it was a positive experience. I was even able to park without a problem. Bring a jacket this place is like Ice Station Zebra,,,really cold, read more

I believe this Market Basket is one of the best one ever, the International Food aisle is one of the best, especially the Brazilian part, it has a huge variety, which i believe is because of Samuel, who seems to be responsible for this aisle...i just wish the Market Basket in Woburn which is 1,5 miles away from where i live would have the same variety of Brazilian food, i don't need to say i love it, do I? The reason i am giving 3 stars only is because of the small parking lot, i have seen people fighting over a parking space there and its not hard for you also see low temper/rude customers inside of the supermarket so be aware...i wish Market Basket would open more stores, it's clear that this Market Basket is getting more customers that it was designed to... read more

Bottom line: at least 15 - 20% cheaper than Shaw's/Star, even better for many things. There are nicer Market Baskets in the 'burbs. This one gets crowded and chaotic if you hit it at the wrong time and you have to think a little more carefully than you do at Shaw's. But if you buy your food in the Cambridge Somerville area you save big bucks by doing it here. Lots of stuff, even the produce is the same as they sell at Shaw's. read more

Yes, it is littered with sawdust. Yes, the checkout lines can be worse than traffic to the cape. Yes, there can be some sketchy looking items in the seafood department, and YES, it is a bit less than sparkling clean.... That being said, this place is a haven for great produce (but skip the organics here.. they aren't exactly fresh looking), local baked breads, cheap pantry items (hells yes to the dried beans, lentils, and other awesome staples), great ethnic goods (pomegranite molasses, anyone?), and it is an awesome place to people watch. The place is a legitimate walking United Nations. If you can overcome your pre-Basket anxiety, you'll find some awesome deals and great new foods to try. Avoid going on the weekends or in the late afternoons/early evenings and you might just find a parking spot and room to push your cart. read more

Extremely cheap prices on ALMOST everything in this grocery store. The EXACT same items cost a lot more in Shaws! It is really cramped though! Also , for me since there is an Indian grocery store right in the same lot makes this grocery store makes it so convenient that I drive here from Boston and struggle for parking. But it's really worth the drive for the savings ! read more

On mother's day 2021 I was shopping at Market Basket in Somerville. There was a customer in front of me and the cashier stopped ringing and started to have a full conversation with another employee. The customer which I saw and heard after that she was a cancer patient! She asked the cashier can you please finish ringing I'm not feeling well! The cashier turned around with a nasty attitude and called this woman a "Bi???" Twice!! The lady got so upset it was so awful to see! One thing I can say is that I'm appauled with this situation that I will never stop there again! I just pray that she did not end up worse than what she started! Very bad Managers they did absolutely nothing to alleviate the situation. Is this how Market Basket treats Cancer patients?? read more

If I could give it 10 stars I would. I admit, Market Basket is scary and tends to get on my nerves sometimes, but once you get used to the layout and what times to absolutely avoid shopping there (i.e. saturday after 9am and all of sunday) - its great. Oh and I rarely ever shop for more than 12 items - when it's busy its nearly impossible to navigate a cart down the isle.. Yes there are cops there, yes its crowded, but for the prices (all market basket specials DO NOT require a card like other supermarkets do), and the superior quality of their meats, fish and produce - its really worth the hassle. I highly recommend being prepared when you go to market basket. always ALWAYS you should have a shopping list, even if you're used to MB - it's easy to forget things in the confusion of cart dodging and isle wandering. Don't hesitate to ask where something is - MB set up isn't the same set up you maybe be used to at Shaw's or Star Market. I prefer shopping listening to music (it cuts out the annoying children noise), and I would recommend it to the solitary shopper as well. read more

After repeated people told me about Market Basket, I finally ventured to find the one nearest to Charlestown. Today, even though it was sweltering, I went to Market Basket around 3pm on a Tuesday. It was incredibly busy. However, even though it is difficult to manuver a cart down cramped isles of shoppers and restocking items, the prices are unbelievably better than other stores I frequent - infact to help others out I will compare a few items I frequently buy at Food Master (FM) in Charlestown to those found in Market Basket (MB): Fresh Mozzarella Cheese: MB: $2.69 vs. FM: $4.99 Joseph's Hummus: MB: $1.89 vs. FM: $2.99 Nectarines: MB: $1.99lb vs. FM: $2.99/lb Same Price is : Organic Stoneyfield yogurts: 4 for $5.00 Also, I was able to buy a pack of 6 organic eggs for $2.19 and 3 bottles of Newman Organic Pasta Sauce for $5 (granted, those were on special). But really the prices are significantly better! I didn't find the organic isle - but I will look next time - but I was really happy with prices overall. It is not glamourous - and it is crowded, busy and congested - but it's worth the trip - I think if you try early in the morning and really late at night you'd have better luck! Hope this helps!! read more

If you could get surprisingly high quality produce for a really good price, but would have to put up with fairly continually crowded aisles, would you? If you even hesitated before answering, then this Market Basket is for you. A great bang for your buck, MB is a great place for produce, as well as kitchen and household staples (although there meat department is only average). Granted, you're going to get trapped in a five way shopping-cart traffic standoff at some point, but if you've ever shopped at Whole Foods, you will be shocked at how reasonable your Market Basket bill will be. read more

Update 8/29/2014: The recent strike ordeal revealed that Market Basket is an exceptionally good organization. When the TV movie is made telling the story of Arthur T., I want to have a cameo as a customer. :) Update 12/21/2013: Market Basket does not earn 100% marks because their new plastic carry bags are tissue paper thin although they look the same as the old ones. When single-bagged, these new shopping bags are so thin, a soft styrofoam meat package can rub through it. They cannot withstand pressure or rubbing. Market Basket has no web site, no receipt survey, and does not actively seek customer feedback. If Yancy-F-127 haphazardly crushes your eggs and makes a messy soup in the bottom of your shopping bag each time, while Aurelia-G-186 treats your eggs as carefully as if they are her own, the managers are not aware of who are their best, and who are their worst, cashiers. The management is not in the loop to resolve ongoing problems quickly. Original: This is the Boston metro area's last best chance for a "everyday-low-price" style supermarket. Market Basket is super busy on the weekends and specially the night before a holiday weekend. It is not the place you should expect the cashiers to ever know you by name. It is busy. It is high volume. For people lacking time to shop weekly fliers for bargains, Market Basket will be easiest on your wallet when buying most assorted foods. It is a place to find 25 pound bags of jasmine Asian rice. The regular price of fresh produce will often beat the sales price of other grocery stores. Frequent bargain announcements blasted over the store PA system gives the place some personality. Shoppers who hate long lines may want to shop elsewhere regardless of higher costs. However, if you visit Market Basket during bad weather in the middle of the week, long lines can be avoided. read more

1. came early Sunday morning, 8am, found parking no problem. 2. was not as crowded as we feared. 3. good prices. cheap 4. fruits and vegetables - great variety over all, good experience. read more

Insane crowds, especially on days that end in 'y'. Also, insane prices, I don't think I've ever spent more than 40$ here. The produce is insane. Prices on organics are amazing. The sawdust on the floor is insane. The spelling mistakes are insane. The fact that the baggers who have years of experience according to their name tags individual double plastic bag a single apple or jar of peanut butter is insane. You definitely get A LOT MORE for your dollar. read more

Market Basket - Grocery Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

I have been physically accosted by patrons twice here. Great cheese selection. I recommend their robust choices for portuguese tuna cans and premium chocolates. read more

At the Somerville Market Basket, only the strong survive. Everything you can buy at Whole Foods you can get at the Basket for significantly cheaper, and the produce section at this location is wonderful. read more

Yes, I love this place. Major Complaint: Very Crowded. Solution: Go an hour before close, the place starts clearing out and they don't kick you out once the store closes. Its fantastic once the doors have closed :-) (It's only crowded because its awesome) The prices are incredible and everything you need can be found in one stop - unlike Trader Joe's, Stop n Shop, etc. Hispanic food selection is fantastic as well as all other ethnic foods! There is also an Indian store right next store should your needs not be fulfilled. Turn over is very high so all foods are fresh and they are constantly restocking every department. Definitely worth the trip out to Somerville! read more

Oh Market Basket... what a mixed blessing you are. I love that you are so close to my apartment and have cheap cheap cheap stuff. If you could possibly stock a greater variety of items, that would be great. Also, please try to sell produce that isn't already on it's way out. Also, could you not stock food items ON THE FLOOR when you run out of shelf space? I'm pretty sure that's against health codes. Also, can you make some of the aisles a little bigger? And I know it's asking a lot but could you be a tiny bit less ghetto? I mean, you're going to have to spruce it up as the neighborhood gentrifies anyway... why not get a head start on that. Thanks! read more

It is the worst shopping experience of your life. It is a constant Sandy or Nemo is coming. End of the world. People fighting for food. Long lines. Packed parking lot. Still. Good food. Great prices. Go there read more

Four stars for how it treats my wallet, minus a star for insanity. Inside this store is like a Moroccan bazaar - there is yelling, pushing, confusion (the many 900 year olds who shop here are the ones responsible, from what I saw) and carts all over the place. Navigating it is a challenge, and will require many an "excuse me" and an equal amount of "sorry"s. I cant imagine ever "running in" to this store for a gallon of milk or something - shopping here takes TIME. As does finding a spot in the parking lot. You have to stalk people like its Black Friday at the mall. And I'm talking a Monday at 2pm. If you're looking for "ethnic food aisles" you're at the wrong store. Find your own enchilada sauce - there's no segregation here! All in all I think I saved about $20-$30 compared to Shaw's if I'd purchased all the same items. read more

My husband says I am crazy, but the only way of buying there is getting my a plastic bag and run like nuts around the ultra narrow isles saying I'm sorry, excuse me... Then I fight like a lion to go through the crowd and get some specific items I am already used to buy and rush to the 12 items line. It takes me around 4.5 minutes and keeps me sane. The following week I do the same. My husband waits in the car because he hates going there and parking (if you were able to park). All in all, it works for me. Price is way lower than the other supermarkets in the area and I like the cultural diversity. read more
