Grocery Stores

Trader Joes:  my favorite store ever.  Can’t find everything you want, but it is like an abbreviated “Whole Foods” without the high prices.  Great fresh flowers and organic produce.

Shoprite:  one off of Main Street and one off of Morris Ave.  I used to shop in the smaller one off Main Street when I lived in S.Orange.  Never any crowds and had everything I pretty much needed for my family.

Kings: off Morris Ave.  Much bigger than Maplewood and has everything you need but more expensive than Shoprite.
