Gristedes NY 10025

I am horrified at Gristedes' blatant and ridiculous high prices. Gristedes is a complete rip-off and it is shocking what this chain gets away with. No wonder its owner is a billionaire. Every time I have walked into this (and other) Gristedes supermarkets I absolutely feel like I am being robbed, which of course is true. Yes, this is New York but Gristedes has perfected the higher prices scam and it is shameless. Nearly every item is at least $1 more than other food stores. I recall once seeing a pound of butter for $10. Even the weekly "sales" are no bargain. Gristedes is one of the reasons that I decided to move out of New York (I am here for a visit). Nevertheless, be assured that you will save a lot of money by shopping elsewhere. Avoid this place, but if you must go here, buy only things like non-organic milk which is about the same as elsewhere, freshly-baked pies and emergency provisions. I realize many people go here regularly and apparently do not mind throwing away money on Gristedes' consistently higher priced foods, but there is no reason to shop here unless you do not mind being robbed on every item in this store.

Avoid this supermarket! It is ridiculously expensive for mediocre quality and the rotisserie chicken is $18.99!!! I get that this is NYC but there are plenty of other options that are no where near this price

The produce selection is quite limited, and overall prices are on the higher end—comparable to better-quality stores like Westside Market. Gourmet items are also priced above the competition. The shopping baskets are often dirty, which adds to an underwhelming experience. I only come here when I need a single item in a pinch, like laundry detergent.
