Don't even think about going to Market Basket on Somerville Ave on Thursday.

Market Basket is also great.

And where else are they gonna go, Stop and Shop? I mean, come on.

They are coming here exclusively to visit the Market Basket in fact

I'm surprised but impressed their priorities are so in order.

Really unrelated thought but we only had stop and shop and price rite in the town I moved here from. I thought stop and shop was the best but I really like Star Market now.

I go to the JFK one but is there a bigger or better one?

There's a Shaw's in Lynn.

I think this is where Siri keeps trying to send me when I ask for directions to the mall in Burlington.

Side note, I suspect Siri's trying to kill me.

When do you think the last time one of them has been in a grocery store? Specifically to shop, photo ops don’t count. My money is on Kate, over 10 years ago.

Don't ever plan on going to Market Basket on Somerville Ave. Ever!

It’s fine during the mid afternoon and weekdays… and the fresh things are so fresh…

That is the only time I will ever set foot in there, and even still sometimes the checkout lines are all 3/4 people deep. I'd LIKE to shop there more, but it's such a fucking headache most of the time, and it's completely out of the question if it's a weekend or evening.

I mean… I view it like church. You mingle with people you normally wouldn’t… commune with the masses… come together in a long line of other supplicants, coming for the fresh veggies…

Weekdays still seem so horrible to me but I've never been there on a weekend

The real pro move is driving to the Market Basket in Burlington.

Or just going to wegman’s instead because their produce isn’t openly rotting all the time and it’s a much better experience.

I haven’t been to wegmans here, but I expect, you don’t have the low prices market basket has

At least for meats, Wegman’s has been on par with or cheaper than anywhere I’ve been to here (mostly TJ’s, Star, and that one market out in Acton). The MB I’ve gone to I haven’t been in years because it’s near my grandmother’s and when we visit her we don’t ever need to do any shopping.

Saw a fight breakout there last month. Good times

I live about two houses up from Somerville Ave on School St. I expect it to be a bit of a scene, haha

To clarify "..On Thursday, the couple will visit Greentown Labs, an incubator for start-ups tackling climate issues.." is right next to MB. Maybe a couple giant black SUV's slip in and out unnoticed, or any gotcha shuts the area down.

Honey, we gotta get bread, milk, and eggs! What if the royals want to stop by for french toast!?!
