Drove an additional 15 miles to go and visit Stew Leonard's…read more A preface this review by saying I've seen the owner of Stu Leonard's on the morning news in the past. Particularly during the holidays, where he is talking about how to prepare your holiday meals. Second, my friend from New Jersey is probably the Duchess of Stew Leonard's and I had to see what this was all about. Here is my story It's like going to a Trader Joe's if you're on the West Coast, BuCees if you're on Central and southeast part of the country or I don't know I suppose a typical local giant supermarket. Here are my observations. They accommodate the local people they have so many things you can do with your children. If you're shopping in the store, they have mascots and different games you can play. The store is clean and organize organized There are many local products, they support the local community Would I go back? Probably if I lived closer, I would love to buy their vegetables which was very neatly displayed and priced. They were busy! That says something right?

They have their own wine and liquor store, plus a grab-and-go, buffet-style area with fresh, hot food. There is also an ice cream station with cotton candy and strawberry soft-serve, which is delicious. I especially love the cone cups because if the ice cream melts, it doesn't drip all over you. One of my favorite parts is the selection of pre-prepped meals you can take home and throw right in the oven, like Chicken Cordon Bleu and stuffed chicken with spinach and artichoke, along with many other options. It makes dinner so much easier. The only downside was that the avocados all seemed very overripe, so those probably aren't the best thing to buy here. Other than that, the store is well stocked and easy to shop in. I also really appreciate that they have real checkout counters instead of only self-checkout. The employees are friendly, helpful, and the service is good. Prices run a little on the higher side, but if you look around, you can definitely find some decent deals. Overall, it's a convenient and enjoyable place to shop, especially for the pre-made meals and family-friendly atmosphere.

I wish that I lived closer to a Trader Joe's because it's amazing!! Although I would probably be…read morethere all the time! :) I don't get here often, so when I do I love to walk around and look at everything they have. Everything is fresh and very organized. I got a few things for the holidays, including a few stocking stuffers!There were many workers running around making sure the store was stocked. I saw a worker ask a lady if she wanted him to get her a basket because he could see she couldn't hold everything. She was very thankful. I thought the prices were pretty fair too. The store was very busy. I wish that the isles were a little wider. It's not a huge store, but it was crowded, which made it hard to move around. There were many cashiers, so I was able to check right out. I look forward to going back.

I don't do my "regular food shopping" at Trader Joe's, but I do pick up a few speciality items when…read moreI'm in the area. Like, Trader Joe's Green Dragon Hot Sauce, it's fantastic. And the Trader Joe's Organic mayonnaise. And most importantly, Trader Joe's Organic Peanut Butter (made with Valencia peanuts, much less aflatoxins, which could damage your liver). Also, a nice selection of cheeses can be found at Trader Joe's. I just try to get to this store super early on the weekends, like w/i the 1st hour after it's opening, so I avoid the craziness in the parking lot. Those are my recommendations.

Welcome to the great stuffed shrimp taste-off of 2021!!…read more In search of the best stuffed shrimp in the area to serve on Christmas Eve, I posted on various Facebook pages to solicit recommendations. Of course, I can't just trust strangers on Facebook, so we did what any self respecting Yelpers would do...we did a trial run of five spots over a two day period, ordering 4 stuffed shrimp from each. We sampled them plain, with lemon, butter, and cocktail sauce, critiquing the size, quality of the shrimp, taste and quality of the stuffing, and overall value for the price. With, of course, photos of both the raw starting point and the cooked final product. As Public Market received the most accolades in my surveys, it was our first stop. I had not been there before, it's a cute Italian market with a good selection of stuff. There is no signage for the stuffed shrimp, and they aren't in the case. So I guess it's one of those...if you know, you know. Otherwise, no shrimp for you! I audibly gasped when the woman handed me a plastic container with 4 shrimp and $32 and change noted on top. Was it upside down? Were my glasses dirty? No...at $26.99/lb, these bad boys rang in at $8+ each, the most expensive by far in the taste-off. They also topped the charts in cooking time, needing nearly 40 minutes to cook at 375. Most others were in the 25 minute range at 350. But just look at them - they're beautiful. I so wanted to love them! Unfortunately, the stuffing wasn't appetizing to me. It had chunks of what I think were fresh celery and onion, that remained crunchy even after baking for 40 minutes. It wasn't a texture I appreciated, and the stuffing was otherwise pretty bland. Better with lemon, even better dipped in butter, but for the price, they should shine alone. Hubby was hoping for something more like the ritz cracker type of stuffing, so he was also disappointed. Public Market came in at #2 out of 5 in the great shrimp taste-off of 2021. While I wasn't thrilled about the price or the taste of the stuffing, there's no arguing that the shrimp had a commanding presence, were fresh, perfectly cleaned, and tasty. I knew if we ordered these I'd be broke and figuring out how to amp up the seasoning at home, but my guests would have been visually impressed. And it seems like so many others love these shrimp, so maybe it's just an us problem. I will go back to Public Market to try other things, as the service was friendly and the quality of their ingredients to be top notch.

Currently they have a large assortment of Easter bunnies, eggs and baskets. Most shelves appeared well stocked and organized. In the skincare isle the Cetaphil stuff and some other brands were under lock and key. They didn't have what I was looking for. I don't think this is Walmart's fault, as it is likely discontinued. I saw a cute shirt on my way out. The cashier completely ignored me. She was talking to a customer behind me. I've been to better Walmarts.

The only people that did anything with the battery are the service center employees since I can't even use the battery. So riddle me that. Dented from who? Y o u. I just accept defeat and go purchase my item, one being clippers for trimming and shaving head hair.
