Meh, I always hear good things about MB, but anything that moves into Shrewsbury will NOT be cheap. I can almost guarantee you that.

If you live in Shrewsbury, you pay Shrewsbury prices.

Yeah, they may be cheap today..but in 6 months...they will go up.

Market Basket has the same pricing in every store regardless of location. No higher pricing in high income areas, no surge pricing in tourist areas during the high season.

As a counter point - The stop & shop in Shrewsbury has lower prices than the stop & shop in Lincoln plaza. Feels like predatory pricing to me.

If I remember correctly, Stop&Shop has a few different price tiers that they operate different stores at. When the Market Basket in Maynard opened a few years ago, suddenly the Stop&Shop in South Acton couldn’t keep the same higher priced tier that Acton and neighboring Concord could “afford”, and they had to drop it to a lower priced tier.

Eggs are still $3 bucks at Market Basket!

Much cheaper than it would have been if it had to be in Worcester, and more enjoyable too.
