– “Definitely worth the drive. My grocery bill dropped a $100/week by making the trip to Market Basket”

– “Everything is ridiculous these days. The market basket in Burlington is great.”

– “You mean stop and rob? Absolutely Market Basket [Brockton]and it’s only 15-17 minutes away. There’s also a new one in Hanover. I’m actually heading to the new location now!”

– “Yes it’s worth driving to Brockton.”

– “There is also an Aldi in Walpole – an easy drive too. It’s definitely worth it these days!”

– “I’m a market basket regular. Brockton is better than Hanover but Hanover is still Waaay better than Stop & Shop. Hanover you also get Trader Joe’s and Brockton you get Costco/Bjs and Aldi. Win Win.”

– “I really feel I get more for the dollar at Brockton [Market Basket]. I did a big week shop there on Sunday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised with total. I cook EVERY night (even Friday and Saturday nights!) so the cart was full.”

– “Market Basket in Hanover. 20 bags of food for 350.00 best prices around.”

– “Yes market basket is def less expensive. Although this year- I have noticed the prices aren’t as low as they used to be.”

– “Try Daily Table. There’s a bunch of locations in Boston.”

– “Market basket for sure. Usually always stocked and lower prices for sure.”

– “I’ve started making the drive to [Hanover or Hingham] Trader Joe’s. Definitely makes a difference.”

– “I go to price right in river st Hyde park.”

– “ALDI and Daily Table in Dot, and then go to Walmart, market basket for items I can’t get from Aldi.”

– “Market Basket and The Big Y, definitely less expensive.”

– “America’s Food Basket in Mattapan square is very cheap. They don’t have a lot of produce or other items but they have most things I buy.”

– “Market basket is sooooo much cheaper. Def worth the drive.”

– “Market Basket in West Bridgewater is a great store!”

– “Market Basket it def worth the trip to Hanover for me. Aldi is the most economical; love it in Florida – didn’t know there was one in MA near Milton.”

– “Hanover is a good bit more expensive than the market basket in Brockton or Chelsea. I buy the same things every time so I noticed. I like the Chelsea one. Right up the highway and larger and less crowded.”

– “Roxy’s in Quincy for meat/seafood. 1.79/lb chicken breast.”

– “Daily Table in Codman Square. One is coming to a new building near the Mattapan Station. Fresh produce and cheap canned goods!”

– “No, it’s not worth it IMO. I have to be honest and disagree with most of the respondents here. I visited market basket Hanover recently since people love it so much and didn’t see a noticeable difference in prices. I guess it depends on what you buy maybe. Also the same for Aldi – i just noticed the Walpole on the other day and stopped in. Did not see any jaw dropping bargains. I feel like they are all equally expensive. BJs is the cheapest still (or costco) for some things (but not all) if you need a LOT of that thing. Everything is much more costly, full stop.”

– “Just tested Market Basket in Hanover based on the comments in this thread. Wow – I’ve been missing out. I come here anyway because of kids sports so totally worth it.”

– “I do BJs and Walmart online pickup and then just supplement with Stop and shop as needed.”

– “My husband does our grocery shopping and recommends Price Rite in Hyde Park. Kam Man and other Asian markets in Quincy have good prices on fresh fruits and vegetables.”

– “Market basket is really a lot cheaper off 24 Brockton is closer straight up 24 in and out never lines always enough help”
