Shaw’s is clean, uncluttered, nice selection, good prices. There is a Market Basket close by, and although I hear many good things about Market Basket stores, it’s clear those reviewers have never been to the Salem Market Basket. The MB is crowded, uninspired, not particularly clean. It’s also not nearly as inexpensive as many believe. Worst of all, the Deli at the MB frequently reeks like an open sewer(no lie). Forget MB — shop at this Shaw’s and you’ll leave with a smile on your face.
