Sorry…have you ever been to East Side Market? I’ve gone so many times in a pinch and a small tub of cream cheese is like $4.50. It’s so so far from cheap and honestly more expensive that Whole Foods in some departments.

Yes, and because I sometimes shop at ESM, I know it was purchased by Ahold (parent company of Stop and Shop) some time ago. It now has most items priced the same as Stop and Shop, and many Stop and Shop brands (including cream cheese. If you're concerned about cost and the environment, don't buy the tubs. Buy the S&S brand of brick cream cheese available at ESM.) You can shop at ESM very inexpensively if you avoid the specialty items. The same is not true for Trader Joe's, where everything is special and therefore higher priced.

Downvote what you THINK I said, or read what I actually said. If you live walking distance to the Waterman WF, you live walking distance to ESM, and TJ is not going to solve any problems for you. Will a city bus stop right in front if TJ? It does at ESM.
