We typically shop at two stores, Hannafords in Concord when we don't want to deal with the crowds and get a few more speciality items (gluten free things) and Marketbasket in Hooksett when we feel like saving money and getting the staples.
Long story short, I hope this market basket fiasco gets settled soon, Hannafords has now been overrun by "the people of market basket" parking is impossible and its now just as un-enjoyable to go there as market basket on storres street. Maybe I should start shopping at shaws on fort eddy road. That place is still a ghost town. lol
I was at the Hannaford Manchester, NH (John E Devine Dr.) store almost two weeks ago and all I can say is that it's not all the cheap to shop there.

The Shaws on Fort Eddy Rd was a ghost town yesterday! If I hadn't had an impatient husband with me, I would have swung over there to see if I could have finished my shopping list since Hannafords was out of stock on some items. The last time I went to Shaws was when they were closing down stores. Even with items up to 80% off and coupons, I still spent more than I would have a Market Basket. If Shaws execs were smart, they would take a hard look at this, adjust their prices and inventory, and try to lure customers.
As far as I know the folks standing by the road are doing it on their own time. The also report to work when called even if they do not have any customers to serve. A strike is one thing but a protest quite another. They are protesting and not striking. The customers are boycotting the current management.
When we lived in MD, I was totally in love with Wegman, never thought I could find a better store.
Now, I can't imagine not having MB - I hope it's not too late to save that store!
If we've lost MB, then I wish we could have a Wegmans. Although I do like the smaller size of MB where I can get what I want and get out. (not a lover of grocery shopping).
I tried the new super Walmart in Seabrook today and hated it. They didn't carry my brands and I also missed the good and also economical MB brands. Walmart was also ugly and it just isn't a grocery store.
Can anyone suggest some alternative? I've heard of Aldi's. Is that in Salem? Last week I tried Hannafords in Maine but it was huge and seemed excessive to me. I just want the basics, not all the glitzy pre-packaged extras.
Wegmans is way too far away, somewhere in central MA, and it's another huge store but if we had one I'd go. It did have everything anyone could ever dream of, or so it seemed.
(I don't think the MB villians will sell the stores to Arthur T--they don't want to be nice,they don't want to let him win.)

Just when everyone thought a deal was in sight, turns out they would rather fire nearly everybody and run the company into the ground. What a nice legacy.
The consensus seems to be that, in this instance, BOD stands for Bunch of Derelicts.
