Western Beef Supermarket NY 10011

This location changed its name to Big Apple Market. All the Western Beef locations I've frequented in the past were known for decent cuts of meat for decent prices. Granted I haven't been to a Western Beef in over two years, I thought all of them were the same - not so.<br>I guess changing the name from Western Beef to Big Apple Market was a good idea since it was the smallest Western Beef I've ever been to.<br>The layout is still the same except they opened the 1st aisle so it not as compact it once was. I felt some of the prices were not as advertised nor were they displayed visible. I purchased two frozen item that was labeled on sale at $4.99 each. I was charged $9.29 each. A bag of green seedless grapes wasn't labeled at all. I paid $16.05 for them because they were $5.99 lb. I pretty sure I wouldn't have purchased them if I would have saw that (1 star). Unfortunately, I didn't see the charges as they were being rung up as the check out section is quite small and super compact. As I was loading the items upon the conveyor belt, my daughter was packing while trying not to block the only way out for other customers and employees that were passing by, therefore felt the need to rush (1 star).<br>Also I didn't notice these charges and other discrepancies until three days later while at work (my fault for not reviewing my receipt sooner).<br>I understand the increase in food prices every where, but I don't expect to be mislead when I'm shopping, especially when having a budget. I was satisfied with the prices and quality of the meat.<br>Being new to this area, there are no supermarket where I can do large shopping and feel comfortable with the quality, quantity and prices. Until then, I probably will not be traveling back this location.<br>I would like to assume that this market is or will soon be under renovations. Let the emphasis on "big" means it will get bigger and not stay so compacted.<br>For reference: this was my 3rd time visiting this 431 W 16th Street, NY 10011 location. I spent $147.21 for 25 items and my savings $10.29<br>I know the location has nothing to do with MTA. However, it's more convenient getting there than getting back. The M12 is NOT a bus that runs frequently. An Uber was about $20, to me that's not too bad.

This is a great place to find groceries for a reasonable price.<br>It's a small grocery store compared to others but it's manageable. During the holidays you'll find many people rambling through the aisles to take advantage of the good deals.<br>They have a separate cold room for meats and dairy. It really males a difference! The meats are fresh and many are priced fairly.<br>The fruits and vegetables are decent. There's a deli for the cold cuts as well.<br>Conveniently accessed by train and bus.<br>If you're looking for a deal to save a few dollars and have quality items then check this place out.
