Markets like Zubal's. Gabriel's, Sal's and Greulich's are ideal.  Not so big that you need a road map to get around them -- Just enough variety to meet your every day needs -- The employees are folks who have been there a while and they know their customers.  The best part is that they are small, locally owned businesses that really care about their customers and their community.

W e still have 3 of the 4 left -- so we should support them and keep them going -- Gabriel's Sal's and Greulich's are all great markets.

The local markets used to offer home delivery -- at least I remember that Zubal's and Gabriel's offered that service.


Bennet's Market across from Broadway lunch also used to deliver.

Shop Rite in Niskayuna delivers to Rotterdam. Delivery was free when I used it.

Plus they keep sending me emails with 20% off for future home deliveries over $150.

You select the items online. I used it to stock up on many items that were on sale.

I try to always shop at Walmart in Glenville for groceries. Walmart has the best prices
by far, but they don't stock a large variety of certain foods.

Canned foods are way cheaper at Walmart.

Shop Rite has the best selection of unsweetened canned fruits.

20% off shop Rite home delivery is the best deal anywhere.

Easily you can save $60 or more and they carry them into the house for you.

I shop at Gabriel's and Sal's several times each week.

Supermarket meats are not even close to Sal's for freshness.

Anybody remember the name of the market next to Bigsbee school before it became Garbriels? Hint: the name also began with a G.

Not everything on the Interweb is truth. Only a gullible fool would believe otherwise.

One doesn't need to worry about saving money when shopping like adults have to do.   When one doesn't have a job, when one is not adult enough to be independent and support oneself, when one lives of an sponges off others, one don't worry about saving money.

But he finally found a girl friend





"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

Shop-Rite is my favorite of the big supermarkets.  But I still prefer the smaller markets.

I don't remember Bennet's.   "Back in the day" there were many small neighborhood markets.  In Fact, my mother's father's family ran a small market first in Chicago and then here in Schenectady but that was a long time ago  1890's to about 1910 in Chicago and from 1910 into the 20's in Schenectady.  In fact, that was how my maternal grandparents met -- my grandmother's parents owned a farm in Charlton (Saratoga County) and raised pigs and chickens which they sold to individuals and to markets.

We don't need to know your family's life history.

But it's typical for people to tell stories about their ancestor's alleged accomplishments when they person themselves has no accomplishments his/herself to speak/write about.    Guess that's your situation.
