PriceRite of Revere

Been going here for a couple of months. Expiration dates on the food they sell here are always ready to expire in 3 weeks and some of there juice taste spoiled. Sometimes there food taste off, like it wasn’t good. Save your money folks

Love the produce here! Especially impressed with the employee named Nathaniel. He always helps me whenever I can’t find what I need! Thanks dude!

I have been back here since the Market Basket open and the produce wasn’t as bad as the first time I went. I happened to find pomegranates for $.99. I went back a little later and they were $ 1.69, but they were not as plump as the ones in Market Basket but those were 2 for $ 4.
Their produce really isn’t that impressive and now that Market Basket is there I will stick with MB. I buy more produce nowadays so milling around Price Rite for the rest of their items isn’t too interesting to me, but if you need cereal and the like you may want to take a peek.

Three years since my original review and I am still shopping at Price Rite. I added a star since the fact that I consistently go here means I like it more than I realized before. Yes, they have a limited selection of items and many of them will not be here next month when you go to look for it again, but the prices cannot be beaten. Most of the time I look at my carriage overflowing with food and I have a slight heart attack imagining how off I am going to be from my intended budget, yet the most I have gone over is about $ 20. I know I can find more items elsewhere, but there is more than enough on the shelves here to keep me and my appetite happy. Besides, now that I eat much healthier, buying meat is not as expensive. Sidenote: While they may not have ALL of the meats you love, you can find great things here like turkey chops, beef bacon, oxtails and lean beef at great prices. Sadly, beef bacon and oxtails are no longer on my menu, but you can go buy some and eat it for me.

Cheaper than the regular grocery for most stuff. But some items are more expensive and you can get it cheaper on sale at the regular grocery.
+Good place to stock up on basic baking needs
+Try the sweet bread! We come here for this almost every week!
–Stay away from the boneless chicken breast! It may be tempting because it’s less than $ 2 a pound! But It turned out to taste different and be kind of stringy like meat.
*Bring your own grocery bags so you don’t need to pay for them!

Great store for produce!
Price Rite is owned by the same company that runs Shop Rite; these stores are their low-​priced, limited-​selection model. The grocery selection is indeed limited, and the prices in general are lower than Stop & Shop. However, where Price Rite excels is in produce; there’s a good selection and their prices are consistently much lower!
At first, I turned my nose up at the meat department; but then I noticed a few items that are quite good. There are vacuum sealed packages of free-​range and other particular cuts of beef; roasts, London broil, skirt steaks, etc.; that are actually quite tasty and a very good value! Shop carefully in this department and you might be pleasantly surprised too.
Yes, the cashier lines can be lengthy; it’s one of the trade-​offs for lower prices. Plan your shopping for less busy times of the day (and month!). The cashiers have always been very cheerful and efficient for me. Bring your own bags!
Note: They’ve just built a huge new Market Basket store right behind the Price Rite. As of this writing it hasn’t opened yet because of infighting within the owner family. It’ll be interesting to see how little Price Rite survives after Market Basket opens!

5 stars for the new deli at Revere’s Price Rite!
Want good prices on deli meat? Check these out!
Land O Lakes American cheese, $ 2.99lb., there own brand $ 1.99lb., BelGioioso provolone cheese $ 2.99lb., Finlandia swiss cheese $ 4.49lb., (I once paid $ 7.99lb. at Shaw’s for the exact same cheese) Corando Genoa salami $ 2.99lb., several kinds of Carolina turkey breasts for $ 2.99lb., and cooked ham for $ 1.99lb.
These are all Price Rite’s EVERYDAY prices, not specials! They also have a small deli case with all these popular deli meats pre sliced to save you time by not waiting at the deli counter, and the prices are not higher like they are at other supermarkets.
If your family eats a lot of deli meat, it is worth to stop by just for the deli meat alone! Even with the new Market Basket opening up next door, Market Basket’s everyday deli prices cannot compete with Price Rite’s. With the prices of deli meats going up I had stopped buying them but now thanks to Price Rite, I will be bringing my own sandwich’s to work once again!
Check it out…

4 for a dollar oranges are awesome! This place has the cheapest fruit out of all the grocery stores I’ve been to. The parking lot is huge so there’s never any problem in finding a spot close to the entrance.
The place has a Costco vibe going on, with boxes all over the place. Everything about this place scream deal. and I’ve never seen cheaper chicken breasts than what they have here. Great place to shop for food.

The North Shore definitely beats the South Shore when it comes to bargain supermarkets. I’d like to be proven wrong on this one, but I don’t think it can happen.
I don’t live in the area, I have family that does. So when visiting, I will try to shop here.
You can fill your fridge and cupboards for really cheap, if you shop here. I love saving money and know a bargain when I see one. Some great buys can be found here.
Some of my bargains included:
Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches for 3.49. These go for 5.99 everywhere else and rarely go on sale.
Fresh cored pineapple for 2.49. Goes for 4.99 at other places and sometimes a little more.
Colavita pasta for .99.
Shredded lettuce 1.49. A dollar more at other supermarkets.
3 quart bottle of Mazola Corn Oil for 7.49. At least 11 at other places.
Spic N Span antibacterial spray cleaner for .99.
White Castle cheeseburger sliders for 3.69
Last year around Easter, they had potted tulip and daffodils for 4 for 10 bucks. They were healthy looking plants. I saw the same ones at the supermarket around my way for 17.99. I should have bought some, I went back a couple of weeks later to buy, they were gone. I’ll be on the lookout for them this season. I’ll plant them in the ground to enjoy season after season.
I wish, there was a place like this, closer to where I live.

The prices are good on a lot of common items; however some of not worth buying here. WATCH OUT FOR THE EXPIRED ITEMS!!!
First visit and impressed on the savings.
Just be attentive to watching the prices at the register if theyre to be discounted cause they dont ring up. Also, watch the dates on the items cause alot were expired or expiring soon.
Have to agree with Justin K on the –1 stars — its like visiting another country and people dont care to watch their children & dont have manners to excuse themselves when they want to get by you. You get the nasty looks like your doing something wrong. HELLO UNITED STATES!!!
Remember your bags.

Yes, it is unlike other grocery stores but the savings are worth it! First of all, bring your own bags, they charge for bags here. And you also have to do your own bagging, but no biggie. Second, however many minutes you normally spend on grocery shopping, expect to spend 50% more minutes here. While things are generally in organized sections, that is not always the case. You may go through the dairy area and choose your yogurt and then bam, further down the aisle is the yogurt you wanted so you need to go back to put the other brand away. There is no signage either so you may have to go up and down the aisles several times. While Price-​Rite doesn’t have ALL the brands you are used to, they have most. And to be honest, the produce section here is as good if not better than any Stop & Shop. Definitely worth a visit!

I shop here because I am on a budget. The veggie section is OK and the isles can be very confusing. Sometimes items are put in the wrong place, but the prices are cheep and its near my house. If you are looking for fresh Deli meats head to a deli because all they have is prepackage. They also have a small meat section. But the do have a whole isle of international foods! I will be back because your cheapness beacons me.

Five stars as a starting point. Its big & cheap.
–1 star for feeling like little mexico, a whole doube-​wide hispanic section, and no kosher section. I don’t keep kosher, but would like to see a tiny kosher section, or perhaps a kosher item.
–1 star for the parents who can’t control their kids. You don’t take your kids out to the market so they don’t break your crap while you are gone, you hire a sitter, or perhaps don’t have thirteen kids, or perhaps learn to parent better. I never ran amok in a supermarket, if i did I would be summarily scolded. Do kids get scolded anymore? Perhaps it is the Hispanic culture, wait that was bad, well if you are gonna do a drive by, tell me in advance so i can camp out in the basement.
–1 star for not having any quality control. Freezer crap out on you, the ice cream cakes melt into a puddle. Pull em, don’t refreeze them and sell them. Your one stupid employee, lost you a star, wait i think in all likelihood, they are all stupid.

I have to review this place because its another ‘walking distance’ store for me. I am a big proponent of Market Basket, but I have to give PriceRite thumbs up too.
I can actually have a one seat ride on a bus to directly to Price Rite. (by passing 2 supermarkets on the way)
Its a nice clean store, as it opened up a few months ago. I went in on opening day, and have been back several times since. I use Price Rite for when a trip to Market Basket in Chelsea is just too much for what little I need to go.
But I have to understand that much like other grocery stores in its class like Aldi and Save-​A-​Lot. It is a discount grocery chain, and often do not have as wide of selection as neighboring Stop & Shop, and many of the items you can clearly tell its «items that came in on the truck from the distribution center today».
My only real complaint is the produce and meats, it just doesnt look very appitizing (or fresh) but its really really cheap!
Just a couple of things to note:
1. As I said above, many items are «off the truck from the DC today» so you may find an item here one week but not there the next.
=
2. Many items are Price Rite store branded items, and they have limited stock of name brand items. However, if you’re familar with ShopRite (in NYC), you’ll find familar favorites with the Price Rite logo on them (PriceRite and ShopRite are owned by Wakefern Food)
=
3. Meats and produce. eh. Again its a discount store, so buyer beware (again never had any problems but most of the meat didnt look appitizing)
=
4. They do charge for bags, and never have baggers so you’re forced to bag yourself or have them do it. I don’t even bother and just have them throw everything back into the cart. But if you do buy a few bags, they are a nickle, but nice, re-​usable bags, unlike regular stores.
=
5. It is a discount grocery store, so keep that in mind when you are waiting to check out in a line of 5 deep and there’s one checkout lane open. (again they keep costs down by keeping labor down, so you wait instead).
But overall its been a good experience.
And honestly, I’m glad to see something go into that space as its sat empty for over 10 years as Stop & Shop has blocked every store that wants to go in there (Target, WalMart, Market Basket, etc. anyone S&S feels is a threat.) Apparently the city of Revere forcing S&S shop to do something (aka rent to someone) or have the property be taken over by the city was enough.

For years I was a fool. I’m admitting this here and no where else.
I would want something and go get it. If I wanted a hot dog and the nearest guy had a hot dog for 17 bucks I’d buy it and not give a crap.
If I was in the mood for lobster or Chinese 7 nights a week I would have it and although I could afford it living this way I had not a care in the world about the future and if I did at the time today I would be RICH.
So what I’m doing with this review is sending a message to the former me’s out there. Start saving now. Live like you are broke. Even if you ARE broke live like you’re homeless. Sock the money away now. Trust me on this. Someday when you are sitting in a large paid for home and you’re kids are away at summer camp and you are running around naked with your spouse all day without a care in the world you won’t miss that 17 dollar hot dog at all.
Price Right is a supermarket where you can get about 75% off everything you need. Shopping here is a responsible choice. It is almost HALF the price of Stop and Shop, Shaws, Hanneford’s and way way less than Whole Foods and Trader Joes. Market Basket is the least expensive place around and this is much much less here.
Examples:
Captain Crunch and most cereals $ 1.99
Maxwel House or Folgers cans $ 2.99
Rice a Roni .75
A Pound of packaged sliced Honey Ham $ 3.99
Also there is a huge selection of Spanish, Asian, Caribbean and Mexican Food staples all dirt read DIRT cheap.
I would spend almost $ 200 when I would shop weekly at Shaws. Here I spent about $ 70.00 and got even more stuff and I cook all the time.
Huge fresh produce dept also.
Yes it’s no frills. You want to bitch about forking up a dime for a huge heavyweight plastic bag? Bring a bag with you or a box like at Costco.
It’s called being green stupid. Also if you would rather go somewhere with those signs above the isles and pay double. Hey go for it.
I’m all about the Benjamins these days which is why I can go to Mexico and eat Arepa’s while you are eating white bread and water 3 meals a day.
Consider that.

Lipstick on a pig… is still a pig.
But that’s OK when your at price rite. Its not SUPPOSED to be stop and shop (and their damn premium prices) its more along the lines if a Sav a Lot and in a battle of the discount supermarkets Price Rite kicks Sav a Lots ass.
The store is pretty big and from what I can see was pretty clean. In classic discount style a lot of what the sold was still in the shipping box’s but who really cares? The prices are far superior to any of the larger chains so it doesn’t bother me even a little. The only real knock on the place is their selection. They do carry brand name goods, just not all of them. The biggest example would probably be they only carry Pepsi products, and seeing as I’m die hard Diet Coke fan this doesn’t work for me.
They also charge you for bags, but honestly they’re like 10 cents each and they’re pretty big so its actually quicker to do it yourself. All in all its a good place to save money, just know that you will probably end up at another super market to finish your shopping.

Oh sure, some items are priced right, but everything else about this place simply sucks. To save money, they didn’t bother with those places to store your cart after you’ve shopped, so good luck finding a parking space that doesn’t already have carts in them and just wait for them to dent your car at the slightest hint of wind.
Another way they save money (not time, clearly) is by not labeling the aisles. Want to know what’s in each aisle? Start walking. Need to find something fast? Good luck! The staff doesn’t know where things are either.
The lines are ridiculous and the cashiers already seem to hate their existance. I don’t get it… it’s been open like 2 weeks, how can you possibly hate your job so soon kiddo? The final insult is the sign at the register — nowhere else in the store — that you have to pay for bags. Yes, I know I should be environmentally conscious and bring my own every time, but that’s not the point. I’m a new customer and I don’t know your policies and you want to charge me for a bag? I’ll carry that crap to my car one piece at a time if I need to, I’m not paying for a plastic bag.
–9 pound bone in ham
–1 gallon of Hawaiin punch (yes, we’re 12)
–12 pack of ginger ale (because they don’t have ANY flavored seltzer)
–3 potatoes
–1 pack of Capri Sun (see, we really ARE 12)
–1 Carvel ice cream cake
$ 35.
I really should’ve just went to Market Basket.

Finally I made it to Revere’s finest, Price Rite! I was thinking to myself that things better darn well be priced right, and in fact most of the items do cost less than the cheapest grocery store around, Market Basket and definitely far cheaper than Shaws and Stop and Shop (which neither will reduce their prices).
You definitely do not get the same selection though. You get one basic version of each brand name product they offer, so there’s most likely no «light» or «reduced fat» versions available. For example, they have smart balance butter, but not the light version or olive oil etc… get it?
The produce looked pretty good and you cannot beat 39 cents a pound for eggplant. Nope, never seen that before EVER. There was a pretty large selection of fresh cuts of meats, ground meats, freezer stuff, cold cuts, yogurts, cheeses etc.
In the end, you will need to bring your own bags or you can buy some, and you then bag it yourself.
That is all.
