They are at the bottom for a lot of reasons but they do have low prices
on name brand products. I sometimes pick up a half dozen items and save
myself $10+ to spend at another store. I also picked up 3 pounds of
the best cherries of the season there.

Wegman's is my favorite and gets top rating but it is too far to go for
weekly shopping.
