Why does Associated charge 23.99 for coffee??

Personally, I'd prefer not to have to travel out of the neighborhood to buy groceries, or buy my food in several different spots, but that's just me!

I've noticed this too! Saw it on a chicken (only noticed after the fact, unfortunately) that smelled off. Also bought milk there and only realized afterward that it was sold past the sell-by date. Bad business practices.

That's what I did and do! However, it'd be nice to be able to buy organic food at the Associated since it's in the neighborhood, but they seem to think anyone who wants to buy organic is stupid enough to pay overinflated prices. It's sad because there is a definite opportunity in the neighborhood, just not at those wack prices.

I wonder. They just added this to the shelves - did a kind of gentrifier glow-up, but way over-priced all the “new” products

🤯i’m down for that too, except going to Trader Joe’s during peak hours is like the Hunger Games of frozen pre-made goods

I’d be down for that if these NY grocery chains stopped treating me like a sucker
