Foodie's Markets — Local services in Boston

Dear foodies: Your price gauging is insane and this is why your chain has lost so much clientele. I always knew foodies was on the expensive side since the beginning of time. But things have gotten out of hand throughout recent years. I went to buy one of the few affordable hot bar meals they sell, egg sandwich bagels. For the longest they cost 4.99. To my surprise a few days ago I notice they now cost 7.99$ I inspect the product and nothing has changed at all. When I ask one of the employees they say that the 2$ price increase is due to egg prices being up. Now I’m not sure if she made this up, but if that’s a directive from the chain owner/management then that’s pretty foul considering that egg prices have gone up for some time now, and that increasing the price of an egg sandwich by 2$ for a sandwich that has about one single egg worth of serving is borderline price gauging. That’s a pretty good profit margin they’re making. For 1$ more dollar I could get an entire carton of eggs and make 10 of these sandwiches. The point here isn’t necessarily about a measly egg sandwich, it’s about the greed of a lot of local food chains. This is inexcusable and one of the many examples I can use. You know it’s bad when what used to be labeled as “Whole Paycheck” aka (Wholefoods) has cheaper options by a long shot, then the local chains complain when nobody’s supporting them. Foodies, your greed for generic products I can find at Wholefoods or Walmart for 6 times less of the cost will be your demise. You are...

What a local independent gem. I really love this supermarket. You can't exactly count on them for everything in particular kind of limited produce selection but when in a pinch, they come through amazingly. They have a decent wine selection and refrigerated white and sparkling wines, which can really transform last minute dinner. They have a decent cheese, cracker selection. They have Tate's whole wheat chocolate chip cookies which I have not really found anywhere else in Boston. I also love their Stonyfield Frozen Gotta Have Java Yogurt. Super Cheap cut up Watermelon.....really good deal, I satisfy my watermelon craving at least once a week here without paying a arm and a leg. Everyone who works here is super nice and remember you. Overall great...

Let's go around the market starting with produce that feels fresh from the farm, next the artisan breads packaged in paper bags are a must. The cheese selection needs a bit of time so is yet to be thoroughly explored. The deli counter and salad bar encourage frequent visits to sample the everchanging selection of deli delights. Fast forward to the representative collection of canned goods that are on the quality end of the spectrum. Dairy, snacks, spices, frozen foods - everywhere in the shop the emphasis is on healthy, non-gmo, chemical free and organic fare. And yes there are grooming products, toiletries and even drain opener. Did I...
