    Little Compton is a beautiful and charming coastal Rhode Island town. There is much to commend Little Compton although it is mostly for it's natural beauty that you will find yourself coming here particularly in the summer when the beaches beckon. There are really no stores or restaurants to speak of here. It is curiously and interestingly a town devoid of much commercialism which is part of its charm. This is where Wilbur's General Store however is a god-send. It's the local market where chances are you will find whatever it is you need. The outside of the store is deceiving as it appears much smaller than it actually is inside. Once you're in there and start wandering around you find yourself traveling further and further back into the store. It keeps on going. Then there are twists and turns into side rooms filled with more merchandise. There is no supermarket in Little Compton and so if you find yourself short food or some other grocery item, this is likely the place you'll come before traveling a town or two over. In addition to groceries and deli counter you will also find gifts, some clothes, blankets, books, hardware items, and more. I'm sure I still haven't seen everything they have to sell here. The prices are on the higher side but for I get it for the convenience of this one stop shopping right in town. If you go to Little Compton in the winter when things are really, really, really quiet, one is super glad for the signs of life to be found in the Wilbur General Store.

    You can find just about everything that you could possibly need when visiting a small New England town on the Farm Coast. Great Little Compton apparel, Even found a rubber ch. As expected it is a little expensive, but better than a 30min drive to the next closest store.

    I absolutely love Belmont and rave about it to people, it's kind of become a destination to me…read morewhenever I'm in the area. Their selection of prepared foods, including vegetarian friendly ones, is massive, and I often get a bunch on "lazy weeks" and they are such a big help with meal planning. Their fresh desserts and breads are amazing, I always get their mini bagels. I shopped the last hour of the day on a weekday most recently to avoid the usual crowds since the aisles can get tight, but almost everything was gone except cinnamon Raisin bagels (for obviously reasons lol). I was sad to see the selection so low, but I guess these are hot items and sell out earlier in the day?? I had no idea but will plan around this next time. They have a lot of interesting dairy free and vegan options in the dairy section that I don't see elsewhere, or that I saw at Belmont years before I saw in other places - they are ahead of the times! Some items here will run you $1-$2 more than they would in another grocery store though, so in the future I think I will stick to specialty items I can only find here, and will drag myself to another grocery store for my basics, because the upcharge here is a little nuts. A frozen bag of broccoli florets was at least twice if not triple the price it would be at another store, and it was a basic brand I'd never even heard of. I do love their natural self care section and what I'll call the "items perfect for gifting" section as soon as you walk through the door - I always have to smell the local lavender. There are a ton of unique sections and offerings here that make the upcharge on other items kindaaaaa worth it (if I don't think about it for too long). All in all I'm a huge fan and will continue to look forward to future trips here! A couple small areas of improvement though: - Something about their prepared foods makes them seem to go bad pretty quickly, like within 3 days - the oils just go rancid on certain things, or they start tasting off. I know prepared items don't have a long shelf life in general, and I don't know what it is about these specifically, but they seem to turn quicker than options from other places - Service is typically pretty helpful when checking out, but on my last visit, the cashier and bagger didn't even greet me and were too busy talking and laughing with each other to even really acknowledge me. I got home and realized the instant coupon on something I bought wasn't even scanned, which was annoying because that was a big reason I bought that item specifically, and it's RIGHT THERE - isn't that cashier 101 to scan the instant coupons??

    We needed to order a large quantity of flowers for an event. Aggie was a huge help in recommending…read moreflowers and amounts that would fill the vases and give us the colors to match the event. We are a 504(3c) organization and the local market gave us a 20% discount on the flowers, which was much appreciated. The flowers were beautiful and we received many complements on the tablescape. A local market that supports it's community is much appreciated in this day and age.

    Aldi is the kind of grocery store that rewards the prepared shopper and I say that with admiration…read more You bring your own bags, you bring your quarter for the cart, and in return, Aldi brings you something rare in retail: consistency, clarity, and value without the fluff. Let's start with the layout. Whether I'm in Missouri or Maine, stepping into an Aldi feels like slipping into a familiar rhythm. The aisles are predictably arranged, the signage is direct, and the essentials--milk, eggs, produce, pantry staples--are right where I expect them. That uniformity isn't just convenient; it's comforting. I know where my stuff is, and I don't waste time wandering. Now, about the prices. Aldi is inexpensive, not cheap. That distinction matters. Cheap implies corner-cutting, i.e., flimsy packaging, questionable quality, or a race to the bottom. Inexpensive means smart sourcing, streamlined operations, and a no-frills approach that passes the savings on to you. Aldi's store-brand products often rival national brands in taste and quality, and the savings are real. You won't find loyalty programs or coupon gimmicks here. Just straightforward pricing that respects your budget. The quarter-for-a-cart system? Brilliant. It keeps the parking lot tidy and the overhead low. And the bag-your-own-groceries model? It's a small trade-off for the kind of prices that make you feel like you've outsmarted the system. I'm a huge fan. Aldi doesn't try to be everything. It just tries to be good at what it does. In a world of bloated supermarkets and performative retail, that kind of focus feels refreshingly honest. [Review 1081 of 2025 - 86 in Rhode Island - 24635 overall]

    I go to Aldi Middletown store regularly. On today's visit the store was in terrible shape…read more Outside cart area was filled with trash. Had to use the ladies room that was actually clean but had no toilet paper. There was trash and empty boxes scattered thru out. The self checkout looked like it never got cleaned. This store needs better management!
