  Prices are high...but they are the only grocery store in the area so they know they got ya and they squeeze the dollars out of you on almost everything in the store...especially meat! Selection of mist product types/categories is very limited, not a lot of selection or choices when looking at things like fresh juice, butter, cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, canned tomatoes products etc.
  
  Produce is very limited and some stuff is rotting on the shelf! The shallots look and feel squishy and very old. Mushrooms "go off" very quickly even though the date on the package is the same as other stores/acceptable. I also bought a seedless "personal" watermelon here that was "on sale" n 6 days in the fridge and the outer rind was rotting and soft!!!! Didn't even get to eat it n I'm pretty upset about that one. Never in my life have I had a watermelon go off WHILE in the fridge and not cut open in less than a week from the purchase date!!! This tells me the watermelon was "on sale" for a reason and it was very old already at the time I purchased it. So BE CAREFUL WITH PRODUCE FROM THIS STORE! I will only buy produce here if I'm am going to use it that day or the next day from here on out. I've lost too much money in the trash for over priced rotting fruit and vegetables from here!
  
  Meat prices are NOT good AT ALL and the selection is very limited so you're almost kind of forced to buy what is there if you want anything. Last night I was forced to buy a "family pack" of 80-20 hamburger because there were no smaller packs in the display. Also they had some sort of weird unlabeled hamburger meat they called "market style" with no indication of fat to meat content....do nothing on it that said 70/30 ...80/20...90/10 etc so you'd basically be taking a gamble on the contents @ $5 a pound!!!! Also, be sure to check your receipt as I've had things ring up at the wrong price and not notice until I got back home. 1.32 one of grapes rang up as 4.52 lbs!! And instead of the $1.95/lb price on the shelf they rang up at $3 n change a pound...so you can imagine how aggravated I was when I found that one...that was a LOT of money for basically a pound of grapes...I could have got a NICE bottle of wine for that price. Just be careful n double check your receipts!
  
  Store is clean and organized.
  
  In closing...I'd only consider going here for odds and ends that you need immediately and cannot wait to go get. This place is basically a trash can shaped money pit for fresh n "sell by" items! Otherwise, add your items to a list and get everything you need the next time you drive into the city and save yourself MONEY and the AGGRAVATION of throwing your money in the garbage can or being placed into the position of buying items that you don't really want because of the lack of selection & price.
  
  Sorry BiLo but I've never been able to BiLo at this store....
  
  Overall NOT RECOMMENDED unless your stuck absolutely having to have something immediately or you have no way to get into town for a while...In that case you have no choice, and they KNOW that and I feel bad for you.
