Farmers market located in Paterson…read more The parking is an adventure. There is a lot of it but it was a traffic jam. Be prepared for that. They had a lot of selections in the market. Plenty of fruits and vegetables, a butcher, deli, frozen foods, and more. No shortage of options. My complaint here is the crowd. It's nuts in there. Got pushed and shoved a few times and you feel rushed. If only this place was larger with more room for people and carts.

Farmers Produce (459 E. Railway Avenue, Paterson, NJ) is my go-to store for such basic staples as…read more milk, butter, juice, tomatoes, onions, scallions, parsley, and lettuce. Generally speaking, no one in the area can beat their prices on those items. A half-gallon of Lactaid milk will cost me just $2.99 at this store. If I go to any other store in the area, I'll pay a dollar or two more for that same half-gallon. The other day I picked up a large, 11-ounce package of organic baby arugula for just $1.99. And when I got to the check-out counter, the gal, Paola (seen in one of the photos I'll post), noticed that some of the arugula at the bottom of the package appeared to be damp or wilted; she said, "Let me get you a better pack," and went in the back and got me a better one. I can't imagine a checker at a big chain supermarket doing anything like that. But it's a small store, they know their customers, and they treat them with care. When I got home one recent hot summer day and found that the half-gallon of milk I'd bought from the store was beginning to turn bad, I took it back to the store and asked if I could get a replacement. They were happy to accommodate me, even though I did not have a receipt. I value that kind of service. And on any given day, there are some real bargains to be found--inside the store or out in front of it. They always have bags of fruits and veggies that--because they're slightly imperfect or a day or two old--are marked down to just one dollar. I'll buy a dollar bag of apples and they're fine. It is a small store. They certainly don't have everything. And not everything is a bargain. But you can always find some real bargains among the fruits and veggies they sell here. Lines at the check-out counter or short, and the workers are helpful and friendly.

Ah, childhood memories. Decades ago, we would come down this way for various home or backyard…read moregoods. I stopped in to see if there was some nice grocery to pick up or some other memento. Short answer: There was not. The produce may be fresh and local, but you can find that in other stores or stands for well less than the prices here. (Example: $5/lb for tomatoes.) There were only two relatively short outdoor rows of fruits, vegetables, and flowers, and then a fairly cramped interior space with some more harvests (pumpkins, being fall), one refrigerator with cider, one freezer with ice cream, and a few shelves of jam. Very small selection overall, and at best the ice cream qualifies as "not unreasonable" for pricing. I think the only thing Richfield's got going is that it's in a semi-urban location, so you are hard-pressed to find a similar place nearby. But other than the experience of walking around outdoors for a few minutes, I would say just get your fruits and veggies at Whole Foods (or, if you're not local, find a farm closer to you).

I randomly found this place on Google because it said they had fresh tortillas (they did not). I…read morealso saw they are popular for their smoothies so I thought why not stop for some while I pick up the tortillas. I had some smoothie that had radishes in it. Don't ask me why I got this one because I don't know the answer to that myself. The whole thing just tasted like radishes, and I couldn't really taste anything else that was in there. I also saw them adding SUGAR to the smoothies! Not sure if it was mine they were adding it to but why is anyone adding any sugar to a smoothie?! My husband ordered a different smoothie (can't remember which now) and it was way too sweet, so maybe it was his they added the sugar to. Google has definitely deceived me on the tortillas, and I wasted money on smoothies I could have made better myself at home.

This is not your grandmothers supermarket! That is unless she came from Europe, then yes, yes it…read moreis. If you are not familiar with the brand, this is not like any supermarket you have ever gone to. Similar concept, but they do things very differently than what you might be used to. *******Critical things to know: You need a quarter for the shopping cart, then when you return it, you get it back! BYOB, bring your own bag, or take a cardboard box that is in the aisle. You can buy a bag or freezer bag for a fee. Most products are self labeled / generic. So if you are looking for Campbells soup, or Doritos etc., this is not your store. This was my local Aldi until one opened up closer to home. Staff is decently friendly. Place is clean enough. As a German, I am used to this store and its offerings. KISS Keep things simple S*****. Germans are masters at efficiency. For a store that size, they hire about 1/3 the staff that other markets would hire and pass that savings on to you. Think of it as a mini big box warehouse store. Everything remains mostly in the shipping box, instead of displayed beautifully on shelves. Employees "stock" shelves in 1/20th the time lol! I love coming here for the Christmas season!!!!!! So many German and other European specialties that are imported. From Lebkuchen to Stollen, all I can say is Lecker! They usually have 1 or 2 checkout counters open, and they could have a 3rd, but the line moves fast enough for the most part. I do also notice, that many items are hit and miss. If you want something, come early and get it otherwise it might not be there in the afternoon. All in all a wonderful store, and as long as you don't mind brand names, this is your store.
