WOW! I love this place. If I had a car, I would shop here all the time. It was a slow day at work so a colleague and I decided to take a little shopping excursion. She had promised to take me to the land of good deals. I had no idea where we were…More »

South End Formaggio Rocks My World! I love cheese and this is the place to find the most delicious cheese. I adore the samples they put out, and, as someone else said, they will certainly allow you to sample anything you might want to try. There is…More »

This is a great place to buy cheese at very affordable prices. I am continually amazed by the difference in price between the crappy cheese they sell at Shaws and Stop and Shop and the pretty good cheese they sell at Trader Joe's. The Trader Joe's…More »

I was excited to check out a Market Basket store after hearing all the hype about the low, low prices so when I saw this location from the street after driving around frantically trying to find a gas station off 95, I had to stop in. This store does…More »

Aw man, I love this place. The croissants will rock your world. The olive bread is pretty good too. You walk by this place and the awesome aroma of baking bread etc will make you want to come right in off the street. They also have nice cakes. If you…More »

They have really great fresh breads: baguettes, rolls, etc. It's super convenient. The breads are right there at the entrance. You walk in, get your bread and pay. Of course, it's more than going to a big supermarket, but so convenient and the bread…More »

Are evil forces in the world getting you down? Head to Turkuaz to stock up on your supply of nazar to keep evil at bay. I personally love nazar and adorn both my home and workplace with them. Because, who doesn't want to be protected from evil? They…More »

I've been stopping into Johnnie's now regularly and have really had an opportunity to discover what the best deals are here. Their store brand called "Best Yet" is excellent in quality and you really cannot beat the price. I highly recommend the Best…More »

I shopped at Pimentel Market last week and was not shot or accosted or harassed by anyone. I really don't know what the previous reviewer is talking about.  Rather than encountering urban violence,  I had a great shopping experience and picked up a…More »

OMG! I was here yesterday and was just disgusted by the FOUL SMELL as soon as I walked into the grocery store. Ewww....horrid smell of rotting fish. However, since I wasn't buying fish, I forged ahead. I ended up getting a decent deal on some soba…More »

I refer to this as "the bad Trader Joe's". It has most of the stuff the other ones do, but the Brookline and Cambridge locations are so much better. I also do not like that it is in the basement. That is just wrong. Small, crowded, bad. I am a big…More »

Haymarket is a great value, but there is only really one way to do it. Go here, buy a ton of fresh veggies and fruits and cheeses and then have a party that day. Remember, have a big party on THAT day. Although the stuff is a bargain, most of it will…More »

It's a convenient location, but for the love of all things sacred, don't do your every day grocery shopping here. It's way overpriced! The cheese is not really that great and way too much money. If you want to spend a lot on cheese and actually get…More »

Aside from the bundle pick up, which is pretty cool, this Shaw's doesn't have a lot going for it. It's always incredibly crowded here: even when I think I'm outsmarting everyone and do my shopping at some weird time like 10pm on a Wednesday. I don't…More »

I would never do my actual grocery shopping here, but should you find yourself in the Back Bay and in sudden need of a huge bottle of Grey Goose: head to the Shaw's at 65 Huntington. Yes, I was actually in such a situation once and the Shaw's here…More »
