The Torrington location is great. Stands out amid sadder versions of Stop and Shops and Big Y stores in the area. Service is terrific. Selection ample. Feels like I'm "getting something" for my investment. Just a cautionary tale: For all of the new shelving, floor tiles, paint, and displays, there comes a price. And just because it's merchandised expertly - it doesn't mean it's worth the value it's priced at. IE: Hellman's mayo, is Hellman's mayo at any store. I love the store. I love that they have an array of Central NY brands (Hoffman's, State Fair/Speedie, etc). But I always make two lists: what are the wants from Market 32 and what are center-store grocery needs that can be purchased for 20% less elsewhere.

Market 32 in Torrington is one of my go-to grocery stops. The produce section is usually fresh and…read morewell-stocked -- I grabbed a nice watermelon this trip along with some colorful veggies and they all looked great. I also appreciate that they carry a good variety of brands, like the Boar's Head meats and Cabot cheese I picked up. Checkout lines can get a bit busy at peak times but they move at a decent pace and the store is clean and organized. Prices are reasonable for the area and they often have good sales. Overall, a solid grocery store that makes weekly shopping pretty convenient.

For decades I have gone in when store first opens and it has little traffic. I head to the butcher…read moredept and order 6 pounds of hamburger in half pound increments. I then thank the butcher and continue shopping. it's usually done in 5 min. I usually come back in 10 n grab them. well this morning I was told that they can not do this anymore. It takes to much time. It's a new rule. as a single man who works 2 jobs n has little time. having the butcher to do sell me proper portions, since the store only sells large amounts. it's part of what the. pitcher is for. after not grabbing any of the meats and speaking w the meat department staff, giving excuses to not work. I left store planning to go to the local butcher in the next town and grab all my meat. not just the hamburge. I called in to explain how this has been offers for decades. just last month I went and had the burger make my order. The store customer service person could care less and just wanted off the phone.. never have I been disappointed with this store until today. if they continue this, I won't be buying any meat from them again and will take my other grocery needs elsewhere. if that means buying all my meat from the meat locker in the next town and the rest of groceries at the other food store up the hill. so be it.

This hidden gem has been in the corner of Torrington plaza for about a year now! I spotted it while…read moregoing to the craft store next door. They have everything from drinks to frozen food to a variety of snacks. They also offer a variety of rice and items to cook with. The owner is so sweet. She answered all the questions I had about the snacks. In the small world we live in I also found out that our older boys just graduated high school together! So funny! I got a variety of drinks and snacks. The chips are my favorite!

I was originally closed into this new market in Torrington by their flashing lights at night…read more They're next door to where Payless Shoes used to be, so parking is plentiful. The market isn't too big, it's two aisles and some coolers, but they fit a lot of variety in there. It's Hispanic focused and lots of food you're not going to find in Stop & Shop. It's fun to just poke around and try something new! The prices are reasonable although not always marked. You can definitely make a whole dinner, or even a dinner party with the selection. There is also cheese, and fresh fruits and vegetables. The cashier let me wander and take it all in, and was very friendly. I only wish they had more spices, but that's minor in the overall picture.

It was more visible when Hallmark and Kmart were there. But Price Rite carries on, and they have a really interesting selection! It's like a warehouse store trying to be a regular grocery store. They have the basics - cheese, seafood, spices, flour - in grocery store sizes, but in warehouse selections. "You want this normal bag of flour? Great, heres a pallet of the name brand, this is our only option." But the prices are good, and their spice selection is wide to the point I would recommend trying here for more obscure ingredients. They also have fun impulse buys. I did not need Chick-fil-A Polynesian sauce, but now I have my own bottle for chicken. The prices are pretty reasonable as well, even with inflation. I'm not sure how they manage to only sell Pepsi drinks, but hey, if that's your drink of choice! Overall it's a nice market and fun to check out.

Aldi recently had a makeover and I like it a lot better. You will see produce as you walk in now…read moreinstead of crackers and peanuts. This works better because it was very crowded where the produce was located before. The produce is usually fresh and most items are always available. The workers are always working hard to organize and restock the shelves, answer customers questions, and jumping on a register when the line starts to grow. The middle aisle which is called the aisle of shame has SO many different household and food items you never knew you needed. Each week they have new things. These items are only available for a limited time. Once they are gone, they are gone. You can find items for gifts, for your house, or for yourself! They have everything from candles to legos to ottomans. They have fresh meat and great frozen food. One of my favorite things is the different types of cheeses that are available. I also like that I am able to check myself out and bag my own groceries. The one thing that I think could use some improvement are the carts. A lot of them don't work and that means sometimes when it's busy they don't have any available. The prices at Aldi are affordable and cheaper than most grocery stores.

We're happy to update and upgrade our observations about Aldi in Torrington. The store is a bit…read moresmaller than a couple of other Aldi in this area, but it's got a pretty decent stock given its size and is kept very clean. The cashiers and staff seem to have gotten a bit more cheerful and involved than in recent years. But the big deal here remains the prices and the quality. Aldi prices are consistently lower than any other grocery we visit, whether for meat, produce, or drinks. We're fond of fresh fish, and the Norwegian and Atlantic salmon they sell here is seriously fresher and lower priced than anywhere else in our area. We frequently buy their cut fruit, potatoes and onions and paper products, all god quality and sold at a solid discount. They have added a lot of checkout stations for shoppers in a hurry.

What I liked about the lot was that there was a sidewalk in between the parking spots which leads to a cross walk to enter the store. The little details does matter and this is a good safety feature. The store was organized and I like that they had groceries. I usually go to the one in Avon but chose this particular one at this time, because it had groceries and I needed some items. The self check-outs were standard and it wasn't too busy. There were a couple of cashiers on duty. The store was clean and organized and prices were comparable to other Walmarts. Overall, a good store to have if you want to save some money.

It was well stocked, but it took me some time to find everything I was looking for because the layout of this store is a bit different from the one in West Hartford. There was a very kind lady offering samples of corn and apple sauce, she was working at both stations simultaneously. Each time I passed by her she offered it to me again. I told her, I just had it, she said "that's ok, have another one!" I always thought the people who check for your BJ's membership card as you're walking in was the most ridiculous job, because you can't really do much without your card. On this occasion they didn't ask for my card. I was convinced it was in my purse. After my shopping cart was filled and I went to pay, I discovered I didn't have my card. Lucky it was in my car, so all time wasn't wasted. Their job to check for your card, actually has a purpose, holding you responsible that you know where your card is. BJ's is a Club Warehouse. Their membership is $55 annually. This is where I typically go to fill up my car with gas. Their gas prices are the best.

They make their own roast beef and have chef-created soups and specials, but it's the down-home attitude of small-town charm that did it for me.

In the wintertime there may not be enough indoor seating, but most customers seem to be workers coming for pickup and to-go orders or to get some fresh deli cuts (that amazing homemade roast beef seems to be a star!).
