After stopping at the Shaw's in Gilford while at Lowes, we were once again shocked by over pricing for items. Left the store with only a few items. We now drive right by Shaw's and Hannaford's and go to Tilton for Market Basket. Have shopped in MB for over 30 years on MA and enjoyed every saving. We lug as much food as we can from each trip to MB and only supplement a few perishables at Heath's in Center Harbor. We NEED a MB closer ! Some people are now considering a car pool to MB each week, to cut the gas price in half for the trip. Makes sense to me. People, wake up....these large chains like Hannaford's ans Shaw's are fleecing you every day. Organize a car pool with a neighbor and go to Tilton Market Basket once a week. I met people a few weeks ago that drive down every week from Littleton just to food shop at MB. It's your money that you are wasting if you do not shop at MB. And do not start about the quality thing.....MB does NOT have poor quality foods. Don't be foolish with your precious money in this tight economy, unless there is a foot of snow that forces you to make a quick trip to one of the very high priced alternatives. Try the car pool trick with a neighbor....you get two benefits..a time with a friend and a money savings. And you don;t have to have some special card from the store to save...MB saves for everyone without all the gimmicks of store exclusive cards, etc.
