Reply to comment by kjrst9 in What is the best grocery store in the JC area? by Alert-Ad4070

Overall that’s probably right but Depends one what you’re looking for. I’ve never food shopped at Target but we bounce between BJs, ShopRite, 99 Ranch and Acme. Each has things they’re best at, some more than others. But paying a little more at Acme to avoid the circus is worth it to many.

Occasionally there is something at Acme that ShopRite or Target don't have, that is certainly true. I find a good way to find that odd item (and/or comparison shop) is on Instacart. You can search for your item and see who carries it at what price. Of course everyone is going to carry some things (Rice Krispies, Colgate, etc.) and you can just compare prices), but for hard-to-find things it's a real time saver. Interestingly, I was recently shopping for a very specific jelly and the only store in the area carrying it was Key Food!
