We just moved to Lakewood and find the fresh fruit and vegetables are more expensive than where we lived previously in the major frum supermarkets. Also bags of salad for Shabbos is a fortune. Any advice of where to get them cheaper in Lakewood? Thanks.

Fruit and vegetables- Chinese store on route 9, I think it's on the right side between amazing savings and shoprite/gourmet glatt plazas, if you're driving from Howell to Lakewood.

Salad- the best I've seen is 24oz bags of bodek romaine in npgs (missing for the past few weeks though). It wasn't the cheapest but didn't get spoiled right away. There were 2-lb bags by a different company that cost less but it would spoil if I didn't use it fast enough, so it would come out more expensive in the end. And if you want iceberg- I think that's cheaper than romaine.

Blue ribbon has 2 for 1 or half price sale on cut up fruit shortly before Shabbos, call them to check from what time. They're really sweet and ripe.

And Welcome to Lakewood!

There's also a veg store in Seagull Square, on the 9 on the other side of town from the gourmet glatt plaza.

Bump
Any other stores that have cheap / good prices on fruits and vegetables on the south side of Lakewood?

I find NPGS the cheapest on groceries but expensive for veggies and fruits.

The vegetable market in seagull square closed down and is now npgs.

Surprisingly, I find that Evergreen has decent prices for vegetables. Definitely cheaper and better quality then npgs.

I've been going to Aldi's, and they have great prices. They just opened a new store right next door to Walmart on Rt 9.

How do they compare to Evergreen, price and quality wise?

I don't know, sorry. I rarely go to Evergreen. The prices are cheaper than NPGS, that's for sure. The quality is great. I used to buy delicious seedless watermelon at Aldi's in the summer for 5 dollars. They have the same qualify of fruit and vegs as in the other stores. I've never had a problem with the fruits and vegs there.
