Market Basket deals thread--MA+NH

Quote from Lautel : No posts since February 4th? I check every now and again and nothing. I'm tried to find the online flier and they haven't posted it in a while. I think MB is just over all cheaper and they don't have to do crazy deals and wierd promotions which make things free. Two things I got this week that were good for me... I used some $1 off q for the Marcal-Small Steps TP 4pack which was $1.19. $.19 for four rolls of TP I really need was a score. I'm hoping they start to carry the other sizes of Marcal as there was just a $2 q but for a larger size. The MB brand whole wheat pasta was on sale for $1 a box, making it less per pound than the Trader Joes brand. That's about it... not very slick, but thought I'd post to see if anyone was out there!!

MB's deals all depends. If you have Hannaford in your area, I find them cheaper than Market Basket for quite a bit of things and about the same price for many more things. More particularly, I've seen Market Basket have very high health and beauty prices and I pay $1 less per item on everything I buy in this dept at Hannaford vs what I would pay at Market Basket. Of course, Market Basket has their deals too, such as their $3.99 rotisserie chickens. But I've found it all averages out in the end and there are many ways I find Hannaford better. I never have to wait 20 minutes plus in line to get out during peak days like the day before Thanksgiving at Hannaford, versus I always find Market Basket doesn't keep the lines moving as well as Hannaford in my area. Plus, the quality in bakery (I agree Market Basket is lower but Hannaford definitely has more and better selection), meat (same thing here too), deli (everything is always fresher at Hannaford), and produce (same thing here too) are all better.

Plus, Hannaford is all around a much cleaner store.

Sometimes I may go to Stop and Shop or Shaws for few item stops in which I know I will get a good price and many times you can find something in these stores for much lower than you would ever pay at Market Basket. Many times I do walk out of the store feeling like I got a great deal vs what I would pay at MB or Hannaford since I wouldn't pay like $.89 for a cucumber, which is what Shaws charges, when I know that same cucumber goes for $.59 at Hannaford and I want 6 of them. Plus, I know that these store are much less likely to have a huge line vs Market Basket because of self checkout and have what I am looking for in stock.

Wow! The Hannaford near me is waaaaaaaaay overpriced for no double coupons! Definitely more than Market Basket!!

I too am sorry not to see the thread more active, but fact is, I use MB more these days for the items I can't get deals on at the other local stores. I'd never buy health and beauty at MB or Hannaford with all the deals at WAGS, Rite Aid and CVS, unless it was a one-off emergency purchase.

love love love Market Basket!!!!

Total agreement with you on the health and beauty. I haven't been down that aisle in at least a year. I usually figure out my CVS, Wags and Shaw's runs for the week and then get everything else at MB. When you aren't sure... it's always cheaper at Market Basket!

I found some new "Market Basket" brand items that are really well-priced!

There's the whole wheat pasta that is just like the Barilla for $1.19 a box and today I found a Septic system treatment just like Rid-X for $3.99 a box as compared to the Rid-x for $6.99!

Yay!

THanks for finding this thread!! would rep you but gotta spread it first! Happy MB shopping!

I haven't gotten into MB yet this week, but here are some things I like.

MB Amercian Cheese $1.99/lb - this is the rock bottom sale for this. At this price I buy the whole 5lb brick and divide and freeze. This price hasn't been around in well over a year, but about 6 weeks ago it was back. I'm well-stocked, but thought I'd list it anyway.

Foxy romaine hearts for $1.50
Cottonelle 24pk for $4.99 plus a Q... hope they aren't out of stock!
Frozen Fish Fillets for $3.99/lb - I get haddock and more expensive fish when it is at this price.
MB hotdog rolls $.99 for 8. Just spent $1 at shaws this week, but want to get some in the freezer.
MB grape jelly for $.99 - that's my stock up price.
green beans for $.89
baby carrots for $.99/lb

Happy warm spring weekend! Let's all scan the MB flier this weekend and see what we can find for next week!

That's about $.17/roll (single). Is that a good price these days? I was so stocked up on tp that I haven't purchased in a year and haven't a clue what is 'good' now. I do like Cottonelle, though.

First time trying to multi quote .. hope this works...lol

Sounds good to me, I already do this every Saturday as I shop with my mom on Sunday's, but didnt know the thread was here to share.

It seems a lot of people are running low on TP, myself included, since there hasn't been a great sale on it recently so to me this one is pretty good, not the best I've ever seen but still a good deal especially if you like cottonelle and thats our preferred brand.
