The types of free samples you can get from "Get Official Samples" are shampoo, coffee, diapers, medicine, greeting cards and more.

Garden of Eden and Kings are so overpriced it is laughable. The SAME products sold elsewhere in town for anywhere from 10-25% less. For example "Baby Peppers" at Garden of Eden, $3.99, same product at the old Hoboken Farm (will miss you), $2.99.

I heard Trader Joes is coming to Hoboken/JC border...from a source at the Edgewater Traders. Does this poll have anything to do with that?

Amy's organic mac and cheese at A&P - $4.89. Amy's organic mac and cheese at King's - $3.99.

I once paid $5.00 for a POTATO at Sobseys , I said that better be one great tater!!!
never went back again just sayin.

I love Whole Foods but like A&P at JC newport and mostly shop at Shoprite......

It is great to have so many food options in Hoboken. ;-)

I think it really depends on what I'm buying. If I just need to pick up a few things for the week then I'll pay the higher prices at GoE for the convenience of not having to trek to the A&P in JC which I love.

@Hobbs, absolutely! Just one of the many reasons why I love this town....choices!

The only single potato that could be any where near &5.00 would be an off season organic sweet potato that weighed 2 lb. $2.49/lb. Is not unusual for organic sweet potatoes. Organic yukon gold and org. Russets are usually &1.99/lb. Based on the wholesale price we pay it's fair. Conventional potatoes are much cheaper, but interest me only when they are new crop, like the FL potatoes being harvested now. Baby red $1.99/lb. Yukon $1.49.
Those organic potatoes taste pretty amazing sometimes that why people come back for them. Was that a potato or potatoes? Sobsey

Sobsey is my number 1 store for organic fresh produce! Sobsey delivers. I also shop regularly at Basic for other organic items not available at Sobsey.
