Reply to comment by sammyo in PSA: Biden AND Prince William/Kate will be here on Friday. Potential for the city to be a logistical nightmare. Plan accordingly. by ZippityZooZaZingZo

Don't ever plan on going to Market Basket on Somerville Ave. Ever!

It’s fine during the mid afternoon and weekdays… and the fresh things are so fresh…

That is the only time I will ever set foot in there, and even still sometimes the checkout lines are all 3/4 people deep. I'd LIKE to shop there more, but it's such a fucking headache most of the time, and it's completely out of the question if it's a weekend or evening.

I mean… I view it like church. You mingle with people you normally wouldn’t… commune with the masses… come together in a long line of other supplicants, coming for the fresh veggies…

Weekdays still seem so horrible to me but I've never been there on a weekend

The real pro move is driving to the Market Basket in Burlington.

Or just going to wegman’s instead because their produce isn’t openly rotting all the time and it’s a much better experience.

I haven’t been to wegmans here, but I expect, you don’t have the low prices market basket has

At least for meats, Wegman’s has been on par with or cheaper than anywhere I’ve been to here (mostly TJ’s, Star, and that one market out in Acton). The MB I’ve gone to I haven’t been in years because it’s near my grandmother’s and when we visit her we don’t ever need to do any shopping.
