We are moving in Stamford on 75 tresser. Where is a good spot for a normal grocery for a family?
We have no car for now, and for a few months ahead.
Thanks for any suggestions
Edit: good suggestions/deal for order online works too
100% ShopRite over Stop&Shop for life! Much better experience and prices in ShopRite.
As others have mentioned, right now Stamford's numerous ShopRites and Stop and Shops may be your best bet, and a number near you are accessible by public transit:
Bus 311 will take you into the West Side, close to a Stop and Shop and ShopRite.
Bus 328 will take you to a ShopRite in Shippan.
Bus 331 will take you north to the one on Bedford Street.
Alternatively, there is a Target half a mile up the road from you that's not a far walk. I think it's generally a bit pricier than normal grocery stores, but it's definitely worth checking out too.
Stop and Shop a mile south on Route 1 seems to be your best bet. I’d walk there and Uber back while you’re car-less.
All the other marts nearer to you are c-stores.
Target has some groceries and is the closest if you're walking. A number of stores also deliver.
Personally, I hold Target for pantry items and maybe a frozen treat and a thing of milk. Their fridge/fresh section is meh at best.
I agree their fresh selection is not amazing but if you live downtown it is total lifesaver and the only easy option if you don't want to drive! I'm there every other day pretty much.
I think the answer to your unstated question is no, there is no walkable grocery store from your location. Well, other than Target on Broad Street. It's kind of a hike since it's on the sixth floor or whatever.
Alternatively, you can shop bougie at Maruichi Select on Summer Street across from Bar Taco. It's small but probably has the essentials.
While I haven't been to the Summer St location Maruichi is a Japanese grocery store/deli. Great selection and definitely have Japanese essentials but not sure what you consider essential and if this will be a good option
Not a store but I've had great experienced with FreshDirect. They deliver, have great selection, and is not just a shopper picking your stuff along with other people from local stores but is is from Fresh Direct, directly.
They often have coupons or sales to cover the delivery fee and I'm not sure your cash flow but I always tried to place infrequent large orders to consolidate the orders I placed. They also have a subscription for unlimited deliveries I believe.
ShopRite on the Old Greenwich/Stamford border !
ShopRite & stop & Shop both deliver now. Look at their websites and check it out!

La Marqueta for hispanic dishes!

ShopRite on West Main or in Shippan. Stop and shop is always more expensive and the quality is just as good as shoprite
