Ok....I've ALWAYS sung the praises of Shaws. Double coupons, gas coupons, 2 for 1 offers, etc... NO MORE!!!!! The other day I was doing my normal shopping and was shocked at how expensive things had become. However, knowing that food prices in general have soared, I took the "oh well" approach....for only one minute. I headed over to Market Basket, the place where I swore I'd never shop for various reasons. I have to admit, I am now converted. Why? Let me spell it out: Land O' Lakes tub of butter - Shaws/$2.49, Market Basket/$1.79. A 70 cent difference! Ridiculous. Need more? Laundry detergent: Shaws/$5.49, Market Basket/$4.79 (same brand/size). Another 70 cent difference. And these weren't on sale. These are everyday prices. Item for item (I am a Shaw's pricing Bible), the prices were MUCH lower in Market Basket. Shame on you Shaws! I'll miss you but my wallet won't!

I too was a die-hard Shaw's shopper, but now go to the Portsmouth M.B. (better than the Newington one). The prices are WAY cheaper!!! It took me a while to get used to M.B, but now I am so over Shaw's!! :)
