Jerry's Fruit & Garden has quickly become one of my favorite places to shop. They have an…read moreincredible selection of fresh produce, including fruits and vegetables you probably won't find at a typical grocery store. Everything I've bought has been fresh, and the prices are honestly some of the best I've seen in a long time. Some of the deals I found were amazing: strawberries for just $0.98 a pack, a large pack of raspberries for $3.98, chicken breasts for $1.98 per pound, and ribeye steaks for $9.99 per pound. With grocery prices being so high these days, stores like this are such a huge help. The only downside is that weekends are extremely busy, so I'd recommend going first thing in the morning if you can. Even with the crowds, it's absolutely worth the trip. Great quality, unbeatable prices, and a fantastic place to stretch your grocery budget!

We carefully picked a "good" time to drop in here for the first time in well over a decade, mainly…read moreto see what the fuss was about with Jerry's. The wife says we came here once before many years ago but I don't remember it.  They've been at it here for 53 years since 1972. Normally, we avoid it due to the madhouse scene that is usually here (like when traffic can't even enter the parking lot from busy Milwaukee Ave because the parking lot is overflowing lol).  Well, it was -3F on a frigid Friday night and we were across Milwaukee Ave at the Jewel, and it was eerily quiet in Jewel, and we thought it was as good a time as any to also visit Jerry's lol. Well, it was relatively calm, and we found a close by parking spot, but there were still plenty of shoppers in Jerry's.  Their inventory is huge and truly impressive as are their prices.  No wonder this place is so super popular.  We picked up some cherries for $2.49 per lb and strawberries at a promo price of $0.79 per 1 lb container.  I would say 4.5 stars for our visit tonight, but really on their normal super-crowded shopping basis, I would still say 3 stars overall.  I don't personally think the hassle factor of shopping here for fruits and vegetables is worth it for the savings and the variety of offerings, thus the 2 star deduct.  But you have to decide for yourself, and apparently for many others, Jerry's is well worth the trip, and kudos to Jerry's for that and continued good luck and success to them.

H Mart has been one of my favorite stores. The fruit and other produce look excellent. I…read moreparticularly enjoyed some exceptional limes I had at their store. They have a huge variety and selection. Their store is spacious, well-organized, and aesthetically pleasing. They even have an area where you can sit and dine if you would like. They have foods and goods that you may not find elsewhere, e.g., Vita Soy soy milk. They also have amazing prepared foods, e.g., delicious sushi, beautiful and tasty Asian meals. Their foods seem to be high quality. They have a lot of staff in case you need help shopping. They also have a lot of items that you may desire but are not necessarily specific to an Asian population (e.g., Haagen Dazs ice cream). They have lots of snacks. You can check out there efficiently. I would recommend this store to almost anyone.

This is hands down, the BEST grocer for all my Asian cuisine needs. Yes, I said it. The produce,…read moremeats, & frozen offerings are great. Out of all the years I've shopped here, there were only a couple times they didn't have something in stock that I wanted. I have to credit this place for curbing my need to going out to eat. Why? Because everything sold can ensure you can make great meals at home. Want to make pho? Chow fun? Bulgogi? Pad Thai? Pancit? If you have a decent recipe or already know what you need, you can make it at home for a fraction of the cost of what your local resto charges. Maybe you just want some frozen dumplings, instant ramyeon, & snacks to go with your new k-drama obsession. This place has it ALL. Everything is organized well, aisles are clean, & there isn't an overwhelming smell of spices & seafood. You can browse the aisles to some k-pop & have a pleasant shopping experience. Also, bonus points for the kitchen section. I bought a new wok here with a lid that I've been really happy with. Definitely shop here for all your Asian foods. Their service, quality, & pricing is unmatched!

Mini-rant on Raspberry Stars. TJ's web site has no place to upload photos, they told me "sorry, go…read moreto your local store." Sorry, not making a special trip for one box of wonky cookies. Were these cookies made by Frankenstein's Monster? 1). Manufacturer knows nothing about making "sandwich" cookies: bottoms should BOTH face towards filling, so cookie looks beautiful no matter how it is held! 2) Filling: like dried rubber cement, sticky/overly sweet. Try using real raspberry jam. When I attempted to pull a cookie apart to scrape off the filling, the cookie exploded. 3) Looks like Flying Monkeys assembled these cookies. 4) All cookies in box were deformed and/or broken. Either your truck driver hit a major pothole or they came from the factory this way. Complete waste of money and calories.

All Trader Joe's are basically the same offerings - but a great selection for my meat-eating…read morehusband and my vegan self. VERY low prices, and my husband basically lives off of the frozen meals and pizzas at home. He finds dairy, cage-free and pasture raised, Humane Certified eggs at much less of a markup than at Jewel. I always find some new vegan thing or other, they always have new seasonal offerings. My ONLY complaint is that the checkout lines are FAR too long, due to what I feel is "forced" by company policy on the checker staff. The checkers are FAR too "chatty" with every single customer, when most of us simply want to get in and out. Great cart policy with regard to return and retrieval. Zero complaints and we will always be return customers!

This Jewel has generally been okay, sometimes they have good deals but lately I've really had to…read morecheck my receipt because of errors. Yesterday I got some of their cookies that had a BOGO sticker on the bag, no mention of needing to clip a coupon, and only after I checked out did I realize they charged for both bags and I had to get the refund from customer service. Today I see a bag of chips listed for $2.99 with clipped coupon (date is within the time of the posted item tag), scan the barcode and it takes me to a coupon for $2 off with Pepsi purchase. I search the app, no listed $2.99 coupon for that brand of chips. I look at the weekly ad, and it shows the $2.99 deal. So I go to check out, get home, and then when checking my receipt do I see it did not take the $2.99 price. They also changed the daily deli deals and they aren't as good as the previous ones unfortunately. Honestly the "deals" here have become so complicated it's almost not even worth it. I shouldn't have to make a stop at customer service every time I shop here.

Their parking lot is large and spacious and it never feels congested like at some other Jewels. It's a little tight and congested on their floor space inside though.

The high tech Amazon model didn't really work in the competitive grocery business and all IL Amazon Fresh stores will close on 2-01-26.

Definitely not worth shopping, but it was a most interesting scene to observe. Best of luck to all the staffers here with whom we always had good interactions with over the past 4+ years.

Everytime you step into the store, you are greeted by an employee. There are so many weekly deals that are so much cheaper and high quality goods compared to other grocery stores. One time I went in and bought some ground chicken. I opened it to cook and it had gone bad. Instead of having to go back to the store, all I had to do is access my purchase via the Amazon app. I was able to get a refund and didn't even have to bring back the meat. It's also very peaceful shopping there as there isn't hustle and bustle of other grocery stores. Could their pricing be cheaper? Of course but also know that they not only have discounts on some products if you have Amazon Prime above and beyond the sale price BUT you also get 5% off every purchase if you use your Amazon credit card for your transaction. Amazon Fresh ftw!

5 stars for Park to Shop Supermarket!…read more This is a huge Asian grocery store when you can get a ton of groceries at much lower prices than you'd find them at a Jewel for example. This store is also cheaper than H-Mart for a lot of stuff as well if you're familiar with that grocery store. There is also a small food court inside, a couple of clothing/kitchenware and skincare stores inside, as well as massage chairs! A really cool place to check out if you're looking for lower prices on Asian items.

This Whole Foods is in a convenient Park Ridge location but we've never been much of a patron and…read morehave generally found them to be pricier than we like for groceries.  However, I came in on this day to try their Friday promo of 12 raw oysters for $12.  You do need to have an Amazon Prime account to get the deal.  I heard about this deal from a neighbor pal who is a big fan and oyster lover.   I would say it was an ok deal, and I'm going with 3.49 stars, as the oysters are all on the smallish side.  They're regularly priced at $1.99 apiece, and for comparison if you have them say at Shaw's, they go for $4 apiece there fyi.  You can't really enjoy them in their dining space though unless you want to buy lemons and/or cocktail sauce, as none is provided, so we did a carryout which is apparently the most common approach.  Carryout is fine as they are iced and as long as you eat them within 2 hours.  They had 3 types of oysters and they are the typical offerings year round we were told - Atlantic Blue Point, Rappahannock Atlantic, and Atlantic Wellfleet.  I queried a bit with Terry, one of the two seafood staffers on duty, and he told me Blue Points were the most popular and Rappahannocks were the biggest.  I don't know anything about the multitude of oyster varieties, but I do like the idea of getting the biggest for the buck as they all taste pretty much the same to me.  I also noticed they were only about 1/4 to 1/3 the size of the big oysters we get in a Chinatown restaurant(!), duh, but that's an aside.  Anyway we ordered 6 Blue Points and 6 Rappahannocks.  They made for a nice lunch side at home and a nice little foodie treat.  The two varieties tasted very similar but the Rappahannocks might have been a little fishier tasting.  Kyle was the staffer who did the shucking (and Terry said he was the best shucker in all of Park Ridge!), and he indeed did a masterful and excellent job as you couldn't even tell they were shucked as the shells were carefully reassembled so beautifully.  I actually raised my rating by 1/2 star just because of Kyle's fine work ha.  It was all fun, but probably still a one and done on the promo unless I find out they are going to bigger oyster varieties some day!

There is only one place where you can enter this store, and even when I was here around 5pm on a Thursday this created a backup. To add insult to injury the doors are enter or exit only doors (though I can't remember if there's a barrier between them--so maybe you can fudge it). Other than that, standard Whole Foods. They have an Amazon return counter on the side opposite of the entrance (since that's the least convenient place they could have put it for people making returns, I can only assume it was by design and they're hoping that people will do some shopping whilst they're in there). At that end there is a single exit-only door right by the Amazon counter, so you can avoid temptation by leaving there.
