    Little Compton is a beautiful and charming coastal Rhode Island town. There is much to commend Little Compton although it is mostly for it's natural beauty that you will find yourself coming here particularly in the summer when the beaches beckon. There are really no stores or restaurants to speak of here. It is curiously and interestingly a town devoid of much commercialism which is part of its charm. This is where Wilbur's General Store however is a god-send. It's the local market where chances are you will find whatever it is you need. The outside of the store is deceiving as it appears much smaller than it actually is inside. Once you're in there and start wandering around you find yourself traveling further and further back into the store. It keeps on going. Then there are twists and turns into side rooms filled with more merchandise. There is no supermarket in Little Compton and so if you find yourself short food or some other grocery item, this is likely the place you'll come before traveling a town or two over. In addition to groceries and deli counter you will also find gifts, some clothes, blankets, books, hardware items, and more. I'm sure I still haven't seen everything they have to sell here. The prices are on the higher side but for I get it for the convenience of this one stop shopping right in town. If you go to Little Compton in the winter when things are really, really, really quiet, one is super glad for the signs of life to be found in the Wilbur General Store.

    You can find just about everything that you could possibly need when visiting a small New England town on the Farm Coast. Great Little Compton apparel, Even found a rubber ch. As expected it is a little expensive, but better than a 30min drive to the next closest store.

    Aldi is the kind of grocery store that rewards the prepared shopper and I say that with admiration…read more You bring your own bags, you bring your quarter for the cart, and in return, Aldi brings you something rare in retail: consistency, clarity, and value without the fluff. Let's start with the layout. Whether I'm in Missouri or Maine, stepping into an Aldi feels like slipping into a familiar rhythm. The aisles are predictably arranged, the signage is direct, and the essentials--milk, eggs, produce, pantry staples--are right where I expect them. That uniformity isn't just convenient; it's comforting. I know where my stuff is, and I don't waste time wandering. Now, about the prices. Aldi is inexpensive, not cheap. That distinction matters. Cheap implies corner-cutting, i.e., flimsy packaging, questionable quality, or a race to the bottom. Inexpensive means smart sourcing, streamlined operations, and a no-frills approach that passes the savings on to you. Aldi's store-brand products often rival national brands in taste and quality, and the savings are real. You won't find loyalty programs or coupon gimmicks here. Just straightforward pricing that respects your budget. The quarter-for-a-cart system? Brilliant. It keeps the parking lot tidy and the overhead low. And the bag-your-own-groceries model? It's a small trade-off for the kind of prices that make you feel like you've outsmarted the system. I'm a huge fan. Aldi doesn't try to be everything. It just tries to be good at what it does. In a world of bloated supermarkets and performative retail, that kind of focus feels refreshingly honest. [Review 1081 of 2025 - 86 in Rhode Island - 24635 overall]

    I go to Aldi Middletown store regularly. On today's visit the store was in terrible shape…read more Outside cart area was filled with trash. Had to use the ladies room that was actually clean but had no toilet paper. There was trash and empty boxes scattered thru out. The self checkout looked like it never got cleaned. This store needs better management!

    I have found Trader Joe's the be reliably the best source for organic food items from fresh produce…read moreto dairy, at the lowest prices. A quick and easy stop. I also buy other ogranic items such as nuts and dried fruits as well as flour and sugar. Their turkey products are not as available as previously (I used those turkey cutlets all the time!) but they have plenty of chicken and beef. The cheese section is very good. Grind your coffee beans in house if you like. A nice tea selection. A few health and beauty items. Season items like fried onions for holiday cooking. Shared parking lot sometimes gets filled closest to the store front as there are several other businesses using that space. Shopping carts are stored outside by the door. Hand baskets are inside the vestibule.

    I'm a little behind the times as I made my first trek to Trader Joe's. It's a nice change of pace…read morestore. Not really any brands, and its a no thrills place, just basic items. For a change of pace, its not a bad thing. The asides are bigger and are slightly slanted and store is clean and simple. Now I would say it's a step above Aldis, but slightly more expensive. All that said, this store has a terrible parking situation. Small, shared lot, and the light is long and tends to back traffic up. They really could benefit from moving across the street to old Price Right where the parking is much more ample, and there's more space for traffic to back up. They could even add a little space if they did that.
