Market Basket

OMGGG what’s up with all you avocadoes not being ready!!! perhaps I have an obsession with avocadoes and its the #1 item in my fridge and I have to have it everyday, three times a day. But it honestly blows when I have to run to a different little store to grab them. Been here lots of time and not once I have been able to walk out of here with avocadoes in my hands. if they aren’t ready to be eaten don’t but them out!!! They also, NEVER carry organic bread which its a total bummer.

I was skeptical about shopping grocery store in Lowell but this location is just over the Dracut line. The store is very clean and the staff is very friendly. It is without a doubt the best value of any grocery store around. Also apparently for the rest of the year they are taking additional 4% off everything in the store. It’s great that it is a family owned, local business

Its bigger. has bakery n can even pick up a hot meal if ppl dont want to cook. great deals on clearance shelf.

I can’t believe the whiners that reviewed this Market Basket. I got fed up with the rich peoples store aka Roche Bros. when they wanted me to pay $ 7.50 a pound for ground turkey, so I went up to Lowell and stopped in at the MB. I paid $ 3.50 lb for wonderful fresh ground turkey, both white meat and dark meat. Also got Organic Boneless Chicken Breasts for $ 3.89 lb. And grass fed ground beef for $ 4.99 lb. I also picked up 2 half gallons of Organic fat free milk for $ 6.00! So you want to complain about the atmosphere? I love it, and every real unspoiled person who shops and works there.

Rounding out my errands today was a trip to Market Basket (MB) to see if THIS one had the cereal we like (I think I have now visited all the MB supermarkets in the Merrimack Valley); no luck in any of the others. Um. No. Not here either. This location, near one of the bridges in Lowell, is a tiny, dirty store. Their cereal aisle consists of perhaps one box each of Raisin Bran, Corn Flakes, and Cheerios, and they don’t carry the more gourmet-​type cereals by Barbara’s Bakery or Nature’s Path. The bread section is shoved into a corner, the fruit occupies a 3×3-foot space, the deli counter is ridiculously small, and the dairy area is so much smaller than any I have ever seen. There is no bakery cuz there’s no room. However, the place does have a complete ethnic food section and is perhaps the only supermarket in the area that has red lentils.
Because of its small size, sounds are exaggerated, so the screaming of a lady yelling at her baby pierced my ears (see my earlier ice cream post). It’s difficult to maneuver around the parking lot, and the traffic is horrendous (and the drivers horrible) so I couldn’t wait to get out of there. Will never return to this particular MB, but I will frequent the others.
