Marketplace Foods — Local services in Brillion

The quality of this store's products has deteriorated badly during the past four years that I have shopped there (after they put the Festival store out of business. Econofood's produce: Bananas often have dark spots, even when not ripe. It is difficult to find a head of lettuce without rust near the stem and often far inside the heads. Onions and potatoes often have dark spots inside that cannot be identified when looking at them. This store often offers only miniature sized lemons, the juice and zest of which are not adequate to provide the necessary amounts called for in recipes. The same is true for peppers, garlic and other condiments.

Prepared baked goods are all bland. Their cracked wheat bread has excellent flavor but every loaf is malformed making it difficult to use for sandwiches. The top of each loaf is expanded far out of the pan while the bottom of each loaf is compressed. When toasted, the top half each slice burns before the bottom half is toasted. The worst thing about Tadych's Econofoods is their third-rate "Our Family" house brand products, the percentage of which had greatly increased over the years. All of the house brand products are far inferior to name brand products. Even incidental products like cupcake liners and dishwashing sponges, which used to be high quality and very useful, have been replaced the Our Family brand, which makes these products virtually useless. No items bearing this brand are worth buying; all are third-rate! Over the past year or so, I noticed that the Econofood eggs seemed smaller than I remembered. I disregarded this until I used them in two batches of cake batter. Both turned out dry after carefully measuring all the ingredients. Then I thought of the eggs. I investigated and found that the USDA minimum legal egg weight for large eggs is two ounces per egg or 24 ounces per dozen. Econofood's Humpty Dumpty eggs weighed only 21.5 ounces per dozen. That little difference accounted for the dry batter even with the extra vanilla extract that was added to the recipe. My advice is to do as I will do in the future; drive 10 or 15 miles to the next closest grocery store. My choice will be Dick's in Sherwood. Even the extra 25 miles per trip will be better than the inferior products purchased form...

A mixup on an order from InstaCart required us to make a second trip to retrieve half of our order. Originally very annoyed, we were heartened and humbled by the gracious attitude of the gentleman who brought out the missing items.

Tadych’s has great sale prices, excellent meats and produce, and a too-tempting bakery. It is close enough to home to make InstaCart an affordable option. We will definitely shop there again.

Because Brillion, Wisconsin appears to have a great many interesting shops and vendors, our next trip to Tadych’s may...

They offer a bunch of different services like dry cleaning, a hot and cold deli service, pay some of your utilities and get vehicle registration done. A decent liquor dept. It seems though that when the only other competition they had shut down in town, their prices started to go up on everything. They are expensive, more so than Walmart in Chilton, on smaller items the price was around 10 cents more and now i would say average is 15 to 20 cents more, and the only reason I still shop there is...
