My husband and I just completed our weekly grocery shopping at Marsh. One word comes to mind, WOW!
I am not sure if it is the Shop Marsh in April initiative that is making the difference or if it is that Marsh re-stocks on Saturday night. What I can tell you is that the produce department was beautiful!
Fully stocked and clean. They had everything we were looking for at comparable prices.
I had fresh cilantro on the list, and honestly was not sure if I was going to find it. I not only found it, but was able to snatch the last bunch!
Lee and I were able to get almost everything on our list (and then some), and while we definitely watched the specials and kept an eye on prices, we did not spend any more than we would have shopping at the competitor.
That is not to say that Irvington Marsh prices are not higher. They definitely are. However, by watching pricing and specials we got almost all the items on our list.
I did turn in an Item Request Form for hummus, turkey meatballs and Greek yogurt. I am sorry to say that I forgot to check on the fresh beets. Sorry Cathie, Anna and Christina! :(
I feel the need to share that I ran into 4 Irvington Terrace neighbors while shopping also. So much fun to chat and shop!
Hats off to Marsh for paying attention and listening!
Here's to another great week of shopping Marsh!

I really like this Marsh! It has a nice "hometown" feel. The employees are very friendly and helpful. In fact, the shoppers are too (something I noticed the first time I shopped there in July 2007). I suggest they prepare a menu of Take-Out Sub Sandwiches and Salads - customer calls/emails by 9:30am, and picks-up the same day after 12noon.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Julie. Everytime I have purchased anything from the deli it has been really good.
ReplyDeleteMy husband loves the potato salad.
What a great way to expand the deli though...offering Take Out Subs.
Thanks for the comments!
I shop at Marsh when I need last minute items. I don't do my main shopping there because of the prices. I do like the produce and other products they offer. It pains me to pay those prices, however. I can justify doing any major shopping there. I wish, somehow, they could be more competitive.
