Not alone at all. Shaws is terrible. Stop and Shop is iffy at best. I don't care for Star Market either. If I were you I'd find the closest
Trader Joe's as that's far and away the best in the area.
Hannaford Brothers (based in Maine but with MA locations) is also a good choice for reasonable prices and better selection. If you're on the South Shore or can make it down once in a while, try
Trucchi's in Abington, Bridgewater or Taunton depending on what's closer. No frills, but good meats and produce at good prices.
I've never been to Wegmans but only hear good things. Where are they going?
