Agreed.
Don't shop in the last 2 but from what I've heard it's correct.

Mountain Fruit is expensive and I strongly dislike shopping there. (If its really nogea you can pm me and ill tell you why)
If you're already by Gourmet Glatt, why not go to KRM across the street? They surely have the lowest prices.

Why not moishas on ave m? They have valet parking - very convenient! Very good prices too.

I like Moisha's. Their general prices are reasonable and competitive to other local supermarkets, they often have great sales on items I use, the valet parking as momx6 mentioned, and when I've been there including at some high-traffic times there has never been too long a wait for checkout (though at high traffic times the aisles get a little hard to navigate. but it's set up decently in the first place. It's worse when a place is just hard to navigate at all times, I won't name names but you know narrow aisles that don't quite line up...) And they sell kosher organic pastured meat with a hechsher we use! And the prices aren't that much higher than the regular meat either! So yes I like Moisha's when I'm in flatbush.

If I'm in Boro Park I favor Landaus though. They accept wic and are nice about it - they follow the rules but don't make you jump through hoops or take forever figuring it out as if they don't do this 100 times a day. Their produce is high quality. I get the organization of their aisles more intuitively than other stores. And they have decent sales, too. Often (not always but often) including the best prices in town for eggs. Non-sale prices are not the lowest in town but I find the shopping experience at the cheaper stores is more headache than it's worth. Landau's I can be in and out with 2 weeks' worth of supplies including wic in 25 minutes (I know because I actually did that this week!) It has enough selection to have everything I need but it's not monstrously big like KRM where it can take you 40 minutes just to walk through the place.

The thing is it all depends from whence you've come & the quality of food you're getting. Sometimes being fresh means paying more. But then again you've left Pomegranate off the list. ShopRite as well ... where you could get normal every day items as well.

In my experience Mountain Fruit is the most expensive of the ones you listed. Paperific is not convenient for me on a regular basis but I do shop there every few weeks if there are sale items that I'd like to pick up. I do most of my shopping at Gourmet Glatt since the prices are okay and their produce section is very good. I don't like the produce at KRM ,and I'd rather pay more on my groceries than have to make an extra trip to get produce.

Op actually didnt mention why she was asking. It may even have been a poll for a chanukah party... Smile

Although, it is probably because she wants the cheapest, but that is just an assumption we are making. However, if she wanted cheapest she probably would have mentioned KRM or Moishas.

If that were true, it would be one thing. But at some of the places you listed, more expensive certainly does NOT mean better quality.

op here. I work near paperific glattmart and mt fruit. moishas is too far. I like to personally shop in the stores as opposed to emailing orders. I noticed gourmet glatt just put up a really nice website and id be willing to order from the site if the price was right...
