HANDICAPPED VEHCILE LOCATION VS HANDICAPPED PARKING LOCATION IS CRAZY, MAKES NO SENSE! This store…read morehas royallly messed up the location of their handicapped vehicles.The handicapped parking is no where near these little vehicles. To get to them you have to park in a non0-handicapped space, then go IN a door that is marked "EXIT" only. (I only know you can enter thru this"exit" door since a store employee tipped me off). Then to ride your cart to your car, you have to bump down a curb and since there will be another car parked close to yours (no handicappe spaces here) there is some difficulty in 1(getting groceeries into your car and 2)Getting the cart out of the way,. Just curious,..what is so hard about putting the handicapped parking and handicapped vehicles NEAR each other? VERY unimpressed at this thoughtlessness of Big Y.

The smoothies, juices, and prepared foods are tucked away in the back and betting not as many people know about it, that should, if into healthy food. The other items looked just as delicious. I would highly recommend Food Works in Old Saybrook for a fairly priced, organic, satisfying smoothie.

I absolutely ADORE this local hometown independent grocer for 4 reasons:…read more 1) The QUALITY of ALL their items is TOP NOTCH. The meats, seafood, deli items including salads, sandwiches, soups, prepared lunches, dinners, as well as bakery items, produce, and prepared frozen items are ALL HOMEMADE & DELISH! They also stock a fantastic selection of well known dry, refrigerated and frozen groceries! 2) The prices are extremely reasonable. 3) The staff are genuine, kind, helpful & efficient. 4) ITS NOT a hoity-toity exorbitant boutique grocer.

I am completely HOOKED on this place! I have had their grinders which are fantastic. Their croissants, cookies, soups, prepared dinners which are also fabulous! The portions are generous & the prices are very reasonable! Walt's is TRULY is a GEM in the local COMMUNITY! We are INCREDIBLY FORTUNATE to have this fantastic independent grocer in the area!

But I *really* like the Big Y chain particularly the one in Groton & Old Lyme. Their deli is particularly good especially the pizzas & the Stromboli's. They use fresh home made dough & ingredients & the pizzas are made to order. I just ordered a pizza (the conveyor belt oven had been turned off for the evening so I wasn't able to order a Stromboli (which are EXCELLENT, and quite generous for $3.99!) I ordered a ham, spinach & mushroom & it was DELICIOUS. Their pizza sauce is fantastic: a yummy mix of tangy & sweet red tomato sauce. I have purchased mini desserts in the bakery & they were all fabulous. (Cannolis & the Lobster tails). The woman in the deli making pizzas & Stromboli's is very pleasant, accommodating, efficient & kind. She also makes great pizzas & strombolis. I ordered a few grinders from here at different times & they were all delicious. They have a large selection of bread, proteins, veggies & condiments which is great. The prices in the store are okay/not bad. (I found the East Lyme SNShop to be on the pricier side). The selection is very good here too. I purchased a small wheatberry & spinach side salad here tonight too that looked fantastic. (They also have prepared quinoa bowls also which looked great!). The produce section is also solidly good. I bought tangelos, blood oranges & lemons tonight & they were all good quality. I DEFINITELY recommend this grocery store. I have been here a dozen times over the past 6 months. I am interested in the sushi also... but grocery sushi can be dicey so I will likely only order when I see the sushi chef in the deli). Will update more as I try different selections! DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!

The store gave me a discount of $2.00 on a $417.00 purchase. I did not get 10% off on a case buy. We questioned the cashier and his response is that it would bring it below state min.

They do have a good selection, but a bit overpriced.
