McCusker's Market — Local services in Buckland

Some stuff is outrageously marked up, other items are a good deal. Just depends what you’re there for. Quite stoked about their extensive bulk selection, which is tucked away in back & they have almost anything you could want. The kombucha selection & fresh sprouts are also excellent & the people working there are A+. ❤️ It’s a good little corner market if you need a few specific things, and if you’re thoughtful about it, you can come away without getting really gouged - which, contrary to the one dude who said they’re more expensive than NYC co-ops, idk, they’re def not more expensive than Washington state co-ops, or ones I’ve been to in Maine & Vermont, but way more expensive than those in Oregon.
