Shaw’s

A few years ago I wrote a review for Hannafords where I stated that I usually go to Shaw’s but was going to start only going to Hannafords. That was true at the time, and I still like Hannafords, but I’m back to Shaw’s 95% of the time now. I feel like they have really upped their game in the last few years! I was sad when they discontinued the rewards card but they have compensated by marking many items down. I’ve found that the key to controlling costs is to really look at the whole section– sometimes an item is full price but the store brand nearby is on sale, or a different size is on sale and works out to a better deal. Also, they rotate what meats are on sale. When they do a buy one get one free deal it’s time to stock up! One week it may be chicken thighs, the next it may be pork chops, etc. If you are flexible and don’t mind a full freezer you can really maximize your savings this way! My favorite thing about Shaw’s is the different contests and programs they run. I was addicted to getting the Monopoly tickets over the summer, even though I didn’t win any prizes (but I did get a few good coupons). During the Rachael Ray event I got enough stamps for four bowls and four coffee cups, and this year’s Cuisinart event is even better– I earned enough stamps for a free 10″ skillet and a 2 quart saucepan! Both are really nice, and It’s great to get rewarded for doing the shopping that has to get done. This Shaw’s location is always clean and organized, the employees are friendly, and if you are a bit flexible with your grocery list and take advantage of sales you can keep your grocery bill under control!

This is my go to grocery store for good sales. They double coupons up to $.99. (only 4 of the same coupon at a time) I find their produce department to be lacking and some stuff doesn’t appear as fresh as you would like. They cycle great sales on paper goods and cleaning supplies. This is pretty big store with a honey dew donuts inside. The staff in the bakery are always super helpful. Actually I find all the employees to be helpful and polite here. There is always plenty of parking and they have pretty good night and weekend hours.

I always enjoy a good stroll through the grocery store. Shaw’s is very clean and well organized.
DID YOU KNOW… This Shaw’s is the only grocery in the area that carry Vita Coconut Water in 4 different flavors. I have gone to other nearby competitors for this coconut water, no one else has it. This is PLUS in my review.
BUT, I did take star back for the one time I found a loaf of moldy bread on the shelf. This was highly disturbing as I took it to the service desk.
BUT, for the most part, the deli is usually well stocked with a good variety and very helpful, quick associates.
The Seafood and Meat area has good deals, especially during the summer for grilling…
The organic section carries a good variety including refrigerated items.
The Bakery often have good deals as well. Many different selection of pastry and cakes freshly made.
Overall, 4 stars for Shaw’s Supermarket.

I find this store to be clean and is usually well stocked. The people who work in the meat department are always helpful and friendly. They have always done anything I ask. As far as the store in general is concerned, you do have to watch expiration dates as you shop though. I have found that there are a lot of items that are within a day or two of expiration so I dig in the back, lol.

I agree with the last reviewer — the self checkout does not work as well. Shaws is cheaper but I have noticed that most times I have gone there to shop they are either out of everything or it is a «managers special» because it is about to expire. To really save on Groceries I got to MarketBasket in Raynham or Bellingham.

Usually cheaper than Stop and Shop, and also less crowded. However, the Self-​Checkout does not work as well and Shaws only has 3 Self checkout, while S&S has more.
