yep, they're like that with a bunch of things. I still get vaguely homicidal whenever I go in there over their prices—but a good number of staples (tho not all) are reasonably priced...

Was going to say ALDIs

Just imagine the response if this post said, “preferably white”

I used to work at Barcade and can confirm it's definitely a lesbian hangout spot lol

If your into Korean wings, give BBQ Chicken a go.

If you go w Hamden I suggest you look in the Centerville or Mt Carmel areas which are close to I-91 and the Wilbur Cross Pkwy. From there to the VA in the AM would be about 25-30 min. Another issue to factor in at the VA is parking. The lots fill up fast and you may have to spend time finding a space and then walking from it to your work site. Shouldn’t be too bad if you start at 8 AM but ask people who are there now what to expect.

Yes, if you're a student at any public college or university, you pay a small fee per semester for unlimited bus and rail trips around the state for the ~6 months of your semester season, ex. 1/1-7/31 and 8/1-12/31. It's awesome. https://ctrides.com/u-pass-ct/

I think I saw Derby Aldi’s $1.95 yesterday so would think most would be in that range.

worth looking at your options with the train! i see the VA shuttles every time i go to the west haven train station. milford and points west are on the metro north with regular service to west haven -- branford you would take shoreline east and transfer at new haven, which is doable depending on your schedule.

Yea I know the feeling. moved away from new haven and I never realized how good the food was there compared to other cities on the east coast.

It’s more about what I get for the money, if I’m gonna have to spend it I’d rather spend it on getting to and from work in comfort than on the bus. The bus is fine for free but that’s about it, I’m not gonna pay for a barely functioning transit system.

why give money to the state when you could give it to oil companies instead?

Aldi>anywhere

interesting,I wouldn’t have expected them to have reasonably priced eggs!

Costco is the answer to everything.

You can get a medium dozen from Elm City Market for 2.49. Of course they have all of the expensive organic brands too--but also 2.49.

I work at the VA. Plenty of folks here that come from Hamden and Branford. If your schedule is consistent, the carpool benefits are worth checking into.

Oh, and reddit is blocked at work. Lol

If you start work at 8am, I91/ I95 shouldn't be a problem. I commuted from Hamden out that way for 7 years and it was very smooth. I would get to the interchange around 7:45. You could also take route 15, get off exit 59, and have a pretty straight shot to the VA through town. 25 minutes tops. Best bet is to use an app like Waze, it'll give you the quickest route each day.

No more free Randy :(

COSTCO!

Aldi was $2.39 I think yesterday.

Target’s prices have gone back down. Aldi might be back to ~$2 but I haven’t been recently

Hmm... the arrow next to the gas pump icon on the dashboard points to the side of the car that the gas inlet is on?

I’m 40 and I’ve owned a car in CT before, I’m well aware thank you. Got any other suggestions on obvious things that I probably know?

Egg lands best from bjs.
