Just an fyi... You can get USDA Prime at Sam's, all you have to do is ask. Just a few weeks ago I bought a huge USDA Prime Rib Roast there for a lot less money that they wanted at the "Meat Shop" and it was the best prime rib I have ever eaten.

We buy most of our meats at Sams Club because they are so good and priced right. The Sam's in Manchester has an exceptional butcher department.

Yup..I've seen the PRIME at Sam's...got mine at Costco...I don't usually buy it, but it was a special occasion and they looked particularly good in the case....I usually buy Choice but decided to splurge..... marbling was particularly consistent...color and texture helped put me over the edge too.... meat prices are better than most places at either Sam's or Costco.

We are coming up in a couple of weeks to stay in the weir area and usually do all our shopping at Shaw's right before we check in because it is close and do not want groceries sitting in a warm vehicle while we do other things. This year we are stopping at the Tanger outlet in Tilton and having lunch there. We will going from there straight to check in. Most of our purchases will be in the deli and produce dept. Will we save enough at Market Basket in Tilton and is their deli and produce dept good or are we better off just going to the Shaw's in Gilford like we normally do.

I much prefer the Market Basket in Tilton to any other store. There is a huge selection of everything, and the quality, particularly of the meat, is superior to Shaws.

And the prices seem very good, although I am not en expert in this area - typical male shopper

A bag of ice at Tilton Market Basket is 99 cents. That should do the trick for you with any cold items.
