Neither being a coupon buyer nor a shopper (I buy) I find the Market Basket chain to be a dream. Everyone of their stores offers the same price for the same item (special sales exempted) and the location of items is the same in every store. Saves time and frustration and one knows the prices are the same store to store.
Hannaford on the other hand, prices to the local market. Two Hannaford's in Rochester totally different price points, Hannaford in Alton higher priced than either Rochester store and Hannaford in Ossipee totally over priced.
Shaws is great if you are making something weird and need a special spice or product, Terrible fresh produce and overall not as pricey as Wolfeboro's two superettes with the Wolfeboro premium that so many locals seem to adore) but up there.
