![]() I work in Hoboken though so it is easy for my to swing by those shops before hopping on the bus or light rail home. I buy my meats at shoprite becaues I don't care about organic and they are cheaper. I also frequently shop between 2 markets in Hoboken on the Washington street between 2nd and 3rd (I believe) - Aspen market for produce - I find they have great produce at a reasonable price (all of their other stuff - dry goods, etc - are overpriced) - and then Basic Foods for everything else - its an organic store - but their snacks and and dried items (grains and crackers, etc) - I find are pretty decently priced. the first thing I did when I moved in was buy one of those little push carts for my groceries since I walk. the produce isn't terrible and it does the job. I go to the Hoboken shoprite now since I live near the elevator - and it is much better. So I live in the heights and my roommate and I would drive down to the JC shoprite (she has a car - i don't) and we hated it. There were plans for a Whole Foods on Columbus, but I heard that the shareholders at Metropolis Towers vetoed it. It was supposed to be open by now, thinking they could just retrofit all the plumbing and refrigeration. There's an Asian market (99 Ranch) opening on Grand Street in the old Pathmark. For me, I'll pick up a few groceries if I'm there buying other things. I think Target is pretty expensive generally and there really isn't much fresh produce. I don't go there as often because I no longer have a car. Prices are slightly higher, but it's worth it because it's quieter. I've never seen it crazy crowded like Shoprite even on Saturday afternoons. I find the vegetables not to always be the freshest. I try to go on "off" times, like 9 pm, but it's still busy and some sales items need to be restocked. ![]() It's kind of old looking, but there is a big selection. I do most of my shopping at Shoprite because I find it the most inexpensive. Again, prices for some things are higher than most, but I find their staples like milk and eggs to be very reasonably priced. I find that I go in there when I need to pick up something on the way home from the train. There isn't a huge selection and I wouldn't do my regular shopping there. Sometimes I'll go to Acme on 18th and Target. For example, where can I buy a mop, laundry powder? much less often, bathroom and kitchen cleaning tools.For example, where can I buy a slow cooker, and a glass lunch container similar to the one sold in IKEA ( )? most often, food such as vegetable, fruit, chicken, fish, and.I haven't decided which criterion I will value the most, so I appreciate your inputs in terms of the different criterions. How do you rank the stores, and where do you recommend to do grocery shopping, respectively in terms of I am not sure if that means location doesn't matter much, but I understand walking while carrying grocery, might be quite an exercise. It seems that most stores in Jersey City are walkable, and Target is too or reachable by PATH. ![]() ![]()
