Wow WOw WOW!!!!…read more We FINALLY made it to the local butcher!!! And all I have to say is, I am ashamed I didnt find this place sooner!! Everything was decently priced, and cost less than would going to a supermarket! The staff are friendly and eager to help. There was soooo much meat to choose from like seafood, poultry, pork and beef, but we got; Filet mignon Hamburger meat Hanger steak Brisket burgers Local eggs and can't forget the marrow bones for the pooch

From filet mignon ,ribeye, sirloin ,hangers, ground beef, and more. They even have chicken and local fresh eggs. Oh and I can't forget the huge marrow bones they have.

Aldi feels like a cross between a supermarket and a minimart. They have smaller stores, less brand…read morevariety, but usually well stocked with the essentials. I have found their meats to be very fresh. With some other supermarket meat sections, they will dye the meats with fresh blood and dyes and then rewrap the meat with a new expiration date. There are consumer report videos on Youtube that describe and show the practice from CNBC and CBC. But so far I have not experience that same practice with Aldi. You can easily tell a supermarket store does this when you cut the meat and noticed the color of the meat inside is significantly darker, or browner than the surface. With Aldi, I have not experienced that at all so I trust them more. Their ground beef and other meats have a uniformed color inside and the surface. My experience with their produce has also been positive. The downside to Aldi is that they might not stock a favorite brand. For me, I am very particular about the flavored coffee creamer I like and they don't carry it. But they do have generic coffee creamers. Not a big deal because megastores like BJs Club don't carry every brand or product line either. Aldi doesn't carry hot foods to take out. They don't have an onside kitchen to prep these kinds of foods. So I'll find I will still have to go up the road to S&S and pick up a ready-made roaster for dinner. As for this particular location. The store is very clean. Aisles are neat and orderly. Boxes of goods are cut open and place directly on the shelves making the stocking of the shelves very efficient and fast. The parking lot is large with plenty of parking. Aldi is also a no-frills low-cost store so do expect to deposit a quarter to borrow one of their shopping carts. It saves them from having to hire someone to round up the carts from the lot like other supermarket do. You get the quarter back after you return the cart. You also don't have to worry about runaway carts dinging your car. Bring your own shopping bags because their plastic bags do cost money. Sometimes the check out lines are long because they might have only two cashiers. But most of the cashiers work very quickly to get you through the door. Aldi is to me a good place to get the basics at a lower cost, but they don't replace your traditional supermarket. They supplement it. I am sure some products can be purchased cheaper during a sale but if you are like me and you don't have time to look through supermarket circulars, this is a good place to get a fair price, even if it isn't the absolute cheapest. My advice, shop here first and whatever you don't find, pick it up at another store if you are in a hurry.

Of course you can't do anything without the packaging or the receipt. Didn't think I'd have to save it with their "fresh produce"

Once upon a time there was a Old Latina Woman and her son that ran this place as "Ortiz", and way…read moreback when she used to cook traditional puerto rican dishes every morning and sell them over the counter at her bodega. Ortiz is long gone, but it's former shell is still operating as "Los Primos" Yes, I said bodega, because essentially this is what Los Primos is. Not only can you get the most incredible latin food, but you can also buy Faygo soda, Lottery Tickets, Cheetos & a "Loosey". Dont be "scurred" by the appearance, and don't let your apprehension stop you from enjoying some of the best latin food around. You'll undoubtedly have to bypass the riff-raff that congregates near the front door, but once you get inside the smells of sweet plaintains and freshly cooked pork waft through the air. A steam table near the back is filled with the delicacies of the day. Roasted Pernil, Chicken Legs in Adobo, and Steak simmered in peppers & onions. Yellow Rice & Beans, and Sauteed Plaintains. Fried Pork, Empanadas & Renello De Papas are in the warming cabinet up front. Lunch containers come in 3 sizes ($4 for small, $6 for medium & $8 for large), and come with rice, beans, plantains and your choice of meat. You can also buy meat by the pound ($6.99). Trust when I say this food is addicting. You WILL crave it again and again, and find excuses to make your way back to middletown for lunch time. Keep in mind that it's lunch time only, and they only make a certain amount of food, so once they're out, you're out of luck. I'm also not sure if they cook on weekends, or if they accept credit cards (i've always gone on a weekday & paid with cash). You can easily get away with lunch for 2 here under $15 and be completely stuffed. Go and enjoy a place that I used to keep in my secret stash...

There's an area where you can sit with your food. They even have a post office in this little grocery store. But it is expensive.. a box of cereal is $7.49, and it's not even a large box. They had a 5 pound jar of local honey for $50.00. I stopped in to pick up some crackers for my guacamole, I picked some really nice ones for only $3.29, but half the bag was air. This is not the fault of the store of course. It's a lot of fun to walk through a store where everything looks new, and innovative. If you're in the area stop by, always shop smart, not impulsively.

Their market is spacious and their produce is laid out well, so it's easy to move around while you browse. We love River Ridge for their wide variety of produce; everything is full of flavor and tastes better than anything we can find in the grocery stores. We're especially grateful that they always have some of our favorites that are usually hard to find: ginger, turmeric, and local garlic! We also really like their fermented black garlic. The real reason we are willing to drive 40+ minutes to shop here is because of the incredible River Ridge team. Dakota and Matt are two of the friendliest people who clearly love what they do. The staff at the store are just as welcoming and passionate. We get excited to visit and are enjoy supporting them!
