Shaw’s

If you choose to shop at this location please make sure you check the expiration dates of the products you are getting very carefully. I frequently find dairy, bread and meat on the shelves that has expired. I’ve alerted several managers at this location, but this continues to be a problem.
While shopping there today (12/​08/​2015) I found a skirt steak that had expired over a week ago. When I came home I discovered that ALL of the yogurt I had purchased was expired. Two of the yogurt containers had an expiration date of November 14!!!
Buyer beware.

I just want to write and let everyone know how awful my service was here today i had bought 3 things of ice cream I asked the lady bagging my stuff her name is Jackie if she could just put my ice cream in paper bags so it would stay cooler a bit longer not only did she sigh at me, I actually apologized for making her go out of her way. She then took the plastic bags she had my stuff in and dumped them in a paper bag I actually took a picture of what she did I honestly could not make this stuff up!

I love this Shaws because it’s never packed like Market Basket great deals when they have sales everyone is very friendly customer service is very friendly never have to wait in line longer they never give me a problem if I got bad me and I had to return it I would definitely refer people there that have anxiety issues

Market Basket is about 10 minutes away. Prices are significantly higher than Market Basket so Shaws is all about the convenience. I use it when I need one or two items during the week and don’t want to deal with the craziness of Market Basket.

This store is the best in town. It is large, fairly priced, and very clean. The location is excellent. They have a coffee and hot chocolate machine that you can use for 50 cents. Dosen’t get better than this.

I want to like this Shaw’s. I really do, but no matter how hard I try, I just can’t. They have everything going for them too. Clean, large, reasonably organized store in a prime Burlington location in the town center, close to many neighborhoods. Too bad they just can’t seem to get it together.
First of all, they can be ridiculously expensive, especially if you are used to shopping at the much cheaper grocery chain, «M.B.» That being said, you can snap up some pretty decent sales if you shop the circular. I’ve noticed many people seem to only shop there for sale items.
My main issue with them is FRESH food. My kids love a certain brand of chocolate milk. Week after week, it’s expired, sitting in the dairy case, waiting for some poor shopper to unwittingly buy it. This is even after a store employee was informed about the problem. Sure, they were apologetic, but next week, still expired! How does that even happen?!
What really put me over the edge is they had chicken breasts on sale for 99 cents a pound! What a sale! I grab quite a few packages to stock up. I come home to cook dinner and the chicken is slimy and reeks! Now I’m stuck with four packages of rancid chicken, unless I bring the disgusting packages back and demand a refund. This is nothing new. My own mother and others have complained about buying rancid meat there. Lesson learned, never buy meat there again.
The produce is also a crapshoot. You best be checking all strawberries, blueberries, etc for mold unless you want a surprise when you get home. So tired of that!
I’m sick of paying a premium for bad food. Sure it’s convenient, but it’s worth the drive to pay cheaper prices for edible groceries.
I will say the only bright spot in this location is the Osco pharmacy located in Shaws. Wonderful, helpful employees there from the original Dale pharmacy in Burlington Center years ago.

Very disappointed in the deli. The employees need more training on how to adjust the slicers. Sometimes they slice it so thin you can see through it. Other times its so thick you need a fork and knife. Ridiculous!!!

Large, clean store with well stocked shelves. I have noticed a few people complain about produce. I cannot comment because I don’t buy my produce at the supermarket generally. We get that from farmer’s markets almost exclusively.
Shaw’s is a place we go with coupons. Why? Well, they have higher average prices but drop a larg handful of items on sale weekly. This, paired with coupons, means you get super good deals. Better yet, they double all coupons up to $ 1 and will allow four of the same coupon to be doubled per transaction. Our year to date savings is $ 250+ (yes, it’s February 17 and YTD is from Jan 1) and we have spent around $ 125 out of pocket.
At some other locations we have had checkout workers seem annoyed by the coupons. At this location I can honestly say w haven’t noticed that at all. In fact, just last night they went and checked on a price, realized it was an old tag, removed the tag, but still honored the price. They didn’t HAVE to do that; the tag clearly had an end date which I didn’t bother to check. Wonderful customer service in my book.

For a chain it’s pretty good. It’s the only supermarket in the area open 7 days a week and until 11 every night. Still it’s a bit overpriced for the quality but the selection of food, floral, bakery and household needs is solid.

The store is clean and they have a good selection but their produce is just disgusting, especially for the high prices.
I would rather go to whole foods, same price, for much much better food.
I would give them 1 or 0 stars… but I do end up going there for quick things that I forget because it is so close… although I hope they will close and someone else will take over that location!

one word — awsome

Unbelievably massive. They always have regular and sale items stocked. They have a cute florist area with a good selection of flowers for many occasions. It is always clean and every aisle spacious. I love the salad bar here. It has many options. I love the bakery. Very nice cakes and good selection of breads (french, ciabatta, rounds, loafs, sesame, poppy seed bagels, etc). Wonderful operating hours. Open from 7−11pm everyday except Sunday when it is 7−10pm. Can’t beat that on a Sunday evening in the ‘burbs!
