I have to ...I do find the Pioneer is growing on me. I have to say it took awhile, since the first time I went there with a hankerin for some Haagen, I realized as I was about to dive into it that someone else had beat me to it--there were little buck teeth marks dug into the top! It's grown a lot in the last year and a half we've been here, though, and I find I can indeed get my staples there. However I do think it's kind of a cheap trick to post big signs under many of their items saying "Great Sale!" when, in fact, they are not only not ON sale, they are displaying prices that are higher than Back to the Frikkin Land! <br /><br />I tried CSA last year, but wound up with an entire fridge filled with apples, turnips and some weird leafy green I NEVER figured out how to enjoy! Oh and I've burned through all my amnesty at the Coop-- pretty sure alarms are set to go off if I ever try to enter again. <br /><br />I agree Suzie has the best produce, love it when their blackberries are 2 for 3 bucks and not covered in mold woohoo! Also they are starting to carry organic milk, agave nectar and drumroll... Bear Naked granola! Still can't afford it but it's good to see some more options without HFCS and hydrogomisery if I feel like investing in my health someday and yes, voting wisely with my dollar without having to get on a train!MJMcBeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-61016538496065720472010-05-20T22:52:19.246-04:002010-05-20T22:52:19.246-04:00Pioneer is far and away the BEST supermarket here....Pioneer is far and away the BEST supermarket here. I find the prices are very good and they carry 'low calorie' items. I pushed Stanley one of the managers for G2 Gatorade and it is there now. <br /><br />All the young people at checkout know me either by face or by name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-17939226330720689122010-05-19T17:53:13.292-04:002010-05-19T17:53:13.292-04:00I prefer the pioneer but their prices are higher t...I prefer the pioneer but their prices are higher than NSA. So I get my household stuff and dry goods at NSA. Also, why does Pioneer gouge us on morningstar farms? That stuff is $1.50 cheaper at Trader Joes! Best produce can be found at Suzie's market on Flatbush Ave by Woodruff. I get bummed out when I see people buying limp and over-priced produce at the Pioneer. Go into suzie's instead! They have fresh herbs, tons of veggies and fruits and good prices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
