Iāve been shopping at the NJ Greenlife stores for as long as theyāve been open for business. I particularly love the one in Butler, but Andover is also quite nice. One thing I noticed from the beginning is the warm friendly staff and owners. I really love Mervet and her family. They always make me and my family feel,welcome. The owners and staff make the place, always helpful, with a welcoming smile, friendly and knowledgeable.
Just a side note for those who care, (because of a comment I saw here) Iāve never seen anyone in the store without a mask, and I have heard the staff ask customers to put one on if theyāve inadvertently forgot as they opened the door to go inside.
Now back to why I love Greenlife Market. I appreciate my greens and I find the organic produce there to be fresher than any other local grocery market, and thatās no small task. Iām really astonished at the selection of foods and supplements that they offer in the space they have. They even have free range/grass fed varieties of meat at reasonable prices, so if you like meat and organic veggies you donāt have to schlep to two different stores to get your food. Everything looks neat and clean, and I know thatās not so easy to pull off with such a large selection and fast turnover, ( the place is really popular.)
What I really love about the place and what are its distinguishing features, are the deli, juice bar and prepared foods section. Thereās always a nice variety of yummy and interesting prepared foods with a focus on healthy and natural. My favorite juice is the Alkalizer because itās all green veggies. Their juices are healthy, (no added sugars and junk) and they are so tasty and convenient. Iām not even sure where to get a fresh juice around here besides Greenlife. Itās a welcome refreshment when Iām on the road in between places. The people at the counter are really accommodating and when I have wanted to swap spinach for cucumber itās never been a problem.
My favorite deli item is the super green guacamole. It makes a great salad dressing. Their steamed veggie bowls are such a great idea and healthy alternative to typical lunch fare, and Iāve often taken advantage of them. Itās great to have a tasty warm lunch thatās fresh and healthy, when Iām on the road doing errands and I appreciate that and know how fortunate I am to have this option near where I shop and travel.
This may sound funny, but foodies may understand. I enjoy going to a Greenlife, itās a fun outing for me, unlike other places I shop at. I find their pricing to be competing and lower than other organic markets, plus and my membership gives me discounts too, so that helps. I go there a lot and it always feels so comfortable and welcoming when I do. My whole family...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI discovered Green Life Market while driving to Willowbrook Mall in Wayne, NJ and when I saw the sign I immediately turned into the parking lot where there was a huge banner "Grand Opening." I was completely surprised by the selection of products in the store! First of all, it is very clean and items are neatly placed on the shelves. I bought healthy cereals, snacks, ground fair trade coffee, ice cream and gelato on sale for 99 cents a pint, and other goodies. When I got to the register, I purchased a membership. The prices are much lower than other similar stores and the membership lowers prices even more. The second time I shopped at the store, I saw the "clearance" section that I missed my first time there and lost my mind! I filled the cart to full capacity with cereals, wholesome snacks, yogurt, etc. The clearance prices were incredibly low and I was very happy to save so much money. Cascadian Farms granola for $1.99 a box! I bought 6 of them. Purely Elizabeth 5 grain and seed cereal for 99 cents! Green Life Market is the best market. It really has everything - from fresh organic produce, vegetarian, vegan, cleaning products, paper products, vitamins, personal care, essential oils, amazing deli, Peepers reading glasses, courteous and helpful staff, and so much more. The third time I shopped there I took my time looking at everything and then enjoyed a delicious mozzarella and grilled eggplant sandwich from the deli and a hot cup of coffee. When I returned home I took a picture of everything I bought and posted it on my Facebook page. My friends were happy to learn about the store and said they would definitely check it out. Green Life Market is superb! I met the owner and we chatted a little bit. He was very welcoming and I told him how much I love the store. He brought my groceries to the...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI agree with the other reviewers prior to me. It's a small store packed with hard to find organic and healthy options on the shelves. There's a lot of choices from gluten free pastas, breads, sweets to organic sandwich spreads, oils, juices and drinks as well as freshly made delicious macrobiotic foods and smoothies. There are supplements galore and personal health products that I don't find many other stores. For example, here are the following that I shop for and find, infant probiotics, Baby's Only organic formula, magnesium lotion, progesterone lotion, Natralia eczema cream (works great), soaps, shampoos, nontoxic cleaning agents, grassfed butter, ghee, grassfed beef, hotdogs... The produce could be better only because customers probably don't buy as much so it can sit there for a while. I like the exotic mushrooms and the typical organic fruits such as apples. Sometimes out of convenience I buy from the big chain supermarkets an item that may be available and I feel bad because if all their clients do that then that can make a huge difference towards them staying open as a business. I do want to support small businesses that make a helpful difference to people's lives. So I will start buying only from them and especially since their prices are already competitively priced and often times cheaper. If they were to go away I would have to travel far to the more expensive Whole Foods store to get...
