Reply to comment by justinator5 in Can anyone please help find my favorite chips? by RedRose_Belmont
Will do - let me know if you see any American pizza pops (pizza stuffers). They are my wife's favorite but I think they were discontinued 😢

I rented a small place in Rutland last year, it was a few hundred less than most places in the city but also on the middle of nowhere. You can occasionally find deals like that in that area but there aren’t many apartments because it’s so sparsely populated.

Market Basket has the same pricing in every store regardless of location. No higher pricing in high income areas, no surge pricing in tourist areas during the high season.

Check for availability near WPI. You may have to share a house with a student.

Meh, I always hear good things about MB, but anything that moves into Shrewsbury will NOT be cheap. I can almost guarantee you that.
If you live in Shrewsbury, you pay Shrewsbury prices.
Yeah, they may be cheap today..but in 6 months...they will go up.

It should be cheaper and in my experience the cashier lines are usually all open in stark contrast to S&S.

It's also possible MB will be so busy all the time that people will go back to S&S because it's faster.

Bye, bye Stop & Shop with that useless robot that is always in the way and your nonexistent customer service.

I wanna go to the opening celebration but it will be a zoo. The traffic will be pretty congested, Rt 20 is not meant for that kind of volume. But it is great news.

MA specifically has a Crowd Manager certification (that is required for at least 1 staff member in bars, clubs, etc.) and the entire training is based around The Station fire.

I don’t know if any are available but there is some rental housing down off Boston post/ rt 122a area in Sutton. I know Koopman owns the stretch of apartments across from the church near the Grafton line and I was getting a 2br/1 bath there for like 900 a month 7 years ago.

Holden and the Wachusett region are incredibly tough for rentals. West Boylston might have a few more options, but again, not many at that price, sadly.
I might look a little more to the north and south in that price range. Leominster might have some options.

Another adjacent nice town is Holden but I have no idea about rentals.
If you opt for Worcester proper, be sure to inquire about off street parking. As soon as it snows parking is a serious problem.

Thanks for all the info! Can you provide more details on off street parking when it snows?
