So I’m wondering what it has to offer Lakewood.

Almost every big store has fantastic parking.

Seasons, evergreen, kosher west and other stores run amazing meat and chicken sales.

Npgs has pretty cheap pricing on non sale items. There’s are often fantastic sales on paper goods in many stores (when I stock up).

Most stores have great customer service. The bag your groceries and offer delivery.

I was reading this thread and wondering the same exact thing.

I saw the title and since I associate Bingo as something for Catholics just like Mah Jong is typically for Jewish women - my aunts had their weekly Mah Jong group. Although Bingo is now pretty ecumenical as my grandfather was in a kosher assisted living facility and they had a Bingo game every day every lunch which was well attended by the ladies Very Happy

. He was more a Rummicube kind of guy Smile

And I thought how interesting that they were opening up a Bingo parlor in Lakewood LOL

Like what?

Salmon and dairy are cheaper at Bingo (their salmon is also fresher).
Chicken and meat are similar to KRM sale prices and I like KRMs quality so I stay put and don't feel like I'm missing out by not shopping at Bingo.
I have sensory overload when I go into Bingo and since I like specific brands and deliveries, I don't end up shopping there.

They have a great selection and price on dry good products ssuch as containers, kitchen ware, some basic toys/pencils etc etc but their produce is terrible. I have never bought milk that has lasted longer than 3 days, yoghurts are almost always moldy - literally green when I open them, and fruit and veg are either mushy in store or mushy and moldy by the next day. Just something to be aware of.

I go there about once a month - treating it like a kosher costco.

I have nothing to do with Bingo and only shop there rarely, but when given the choice between the report of a well-known poster brave enough to post under her screen name and an anonymous amother accusing her of lying to support her husband's store, I know whose story I'm more likely to side with.

I have shopped at bingo when I needed to make a big order. I never had an issue with spoiled food and always found their fruits and vegetables to be good and fresh.

Where are they located?

Located on rt 70. Same plaza as home depot.
Just went there today, beautiful spacious store wide aisles.
Prices were good. Nothing unbelievable. Although Salmon was really cheap 7.99 per lb!
There was also a nice selection of fresh meats and chicken. I feel like the prices of those were comparable to Evergreen and GG.

I love bingo. I go before yomim tovim and always save $$
They have big spacious aisles it’s a pleasure to shop there.
Their meats are imported so the quality is obviously less but you’re paying much less so you need to make that decision I personally don’t buy meat there.
The chicken is good.
Their nuts and candies are very fresh , to those who “assume” they’re arent..
Their dairy products are never spoiled or moldy..

So sad to see on this thread how ppl can try to being a business down with lies and speculations

Not impressed. I went today and the produce was very bad. As I was paying for a bag of clementines I noticed that they were totally mushy and spoiled so I told it to the cashier and said I didn’t want it so he told me to put it back (?!) so I had to send my 10 year old to put it back on the other side of the store. And then I had to spend 10 min packing up my $150 order while the cashier was doing nothing because no one was behind me. I won’t be going back. It’s not good enough for the convenience of the other nicer places with delivery, customer service and baggers

And I was there on Sunday and was very impressed! Prices were way better than npgs on all basics! The fruit and vegetables I bought we're excellent! Their Romaine lettuce was amazing and fresh nothing compared to npgs lettuce and it's only $2.99 bag. POF milk $2.39, j &j chocolate pudding $1.99, nature's own apple juice 2/$3, case of Poland spring water gallons 6. 29 vs. $8.29 in npgs and chicken and meat were good priced and tasted very fresh. I'm definitely going to be going back. My kids bagged and overall when comparing two receipts I definitely saved a nice amount of money!

Went there Thursday nite. Was there this afternoon.. This place is awesome..

Flounder 4.99 a lb, thats cheaper then the fish in Shoprite with the questionable Tablet-K hechsher, and better quality.

Shredded mozzarella , 1.99 (Cholov Yisr !!!) .
Beautiful Salmon , Seabass, Trout , VERY GOOD PRICE.
Chicken breasts 1.99.

All the meat looks as nice as the very upscale places for half the price
Lovely spice section. Really nice olive bar, if you are into that.
My only complaint is no coffee section. I was looking for k-cup by the case or fresh beans to grind. They only have instant..
