don't know about KRM, but NPGS sells all of those things, and has great prices. There are 3 locations.

NPGS (co-op) is the cheapest for most of items. WIC items are higher so you do have to watch out for that.
I find when I do my weekly shopping elsewhere I end up paying more on every item.

For orders with delivery I like ordering through FoodEx. They are flexible and nice to deal with.

Do you think Lakewood is a hick town? There are plenty of supermarkets, including NPGS, which has 3 branches, Farm Fresh, Kosher Village, Kosher West, Superstop, and FoodEx. NPGS does tend to be cheapest, but they don't deliver.

Farm Fresh is one of the most expensive supermarkets in Lakewood. NPGS is the cheapest but they don't deliver. Kosher Village is not bad after the 10% discount that they give almost everyone, and they are clean, well stocked, and excellent with delivery. And then there are a million other supermarkets that people mentioned.

Farm Fresh is a bloody fortune, but they're the only kosher supermarket that's open 24 hours. Big plus. I believe that NPGS Jackson does deliver but only if you do the shopping yourself, so that's a bit of a waste. (You can't call in your order.) I find all of the smaller stores to be very expensive. If you want delivery at better prices, Kosher West is probably your best bet.

I was in Farm Fresh once. While some of what they sold looked amazing it was way more then I typically spend. I've never been back.

I have no problem with shopping myself. I actually love it. its time for me alone and its time away from being home too much sometimes. I will call the jackson and see for myself. I was wondering that. so thanks. I will try kosher west too. I will need to ask some more. for now we are ok.

From Brooklyn and def miss the prices of Moishes, Mountain Fruit and the decently priced stores from there ... that also deliver ! In Lakewood I tend to do most of my shopping at Kosher West. They are slightly higher priced than NPGS but at least the store is clean and not crazy like NPGS. I do try to avoid doing my big fruit/veggies shopping at any Jewish stores, if I am able to make it to the Farmers Market where you get better prices. For meats and chicken I will ONLY buy from Jerusalem Glatt or Kosher West where you actually get meat and chicken and not packs of bones and feathers and gross stuff.

I shop at kosher west . If you purchase a $500 gift card they load it with $565 so I find with that discount it comes out comparable to the coop and the meats are delicious. U can't use the gift card for delivery though.

Yes, you can use the gift card for the delivery, I do it every week. I think what you mean is you can't use it for phone/e-mail orders. Smile

I second kosher west, I am very happy with them.
