it's no problem -- That's just how I was raised. I've driven 500 lbs of old S'forim for 400+ miles as a favor. I've volunteered for schools with heavy lifting, transporting, etc.. for 1000's hours for free.... student overnights, driving 15 passenger vans, etc..

If someone in Baltimore wants to earn $40 for a 10 minute favor to a destination that's already on their schedule for tomorrow (at a rate of $240/hr.), that's fantastic. Thanks.

I don't know if you've been following this thread or not.
One thing that particularly bothered me and others is when it was marketed as a special promo price for DDFr's (by the case only) and turns out that a store in Crown Heights is buying from her and selling in their store for cheaper than the 'DDF Price'.

No one forced you to buy anything and no one is forcing anyone to do CS1 a favor... but I can't understand why you are getting on his case just for asking. And I do live in Baltimore and I would have no problem doing it if I could

haa.... got the message...

(We like it bec it has a huge one-stop selection that we can't get from OOT... So we're there 2-3x per year. Agreed, it is pricy... )

Where do you prefer to go?

Shoppers. For those that are makpid on cholov yisroel I can see it as being a necessity, but for the rest of us the other stores are more convenient and cheaper.

Yes, there is a large CY dairy variety at 7 Mile. Cheeses, ice cream. Pride of the Farm... Shoppers is popular, and many people like BJ's, too.

True, but maybe cheaper for standard groceries.
Still, 7 mile is far more convenient for a big shopping trip. Many more cashiers open, baggers, help with groceries to car, plus it's one stop for everything vs. Shoppers where you can't get meat and the kosher dairy is limited, etc.

Shoppers is much cheaper (and closer for me) for regular groceries. Granted, it's usually comparable or more expensive for "Jewish food," but that's not the bulk of my grocery purchases. Also, I end up buying a ton of stuff I don't need every time I go to 7 Mile, but that may just be me.

They do have meat and chicken, although I buy those at Wasserman anyway. Too many spoiled packages from 7 Mile in the past. And I never have to wait for the self checkout.

California Gourmet vegan, gluten-free chocolate chips are now at Seven Mile Market for $2.99.

Great reviews, fresh tasty smooth chocolate. High quality at a great price.
Many wives have been looking for the Trader Joe's replacement for a long time. These are MUCH better than ShopRite. great Erev Shabbos treat.

Eating these now for the first time. Very impressive. Delicious, lingering taste.
I haven't had TJ's chips in a while, but I think these are better!
I bought them at 7 mile market in Baltimore for $2.99.

Here's what they look like:

At this point, Baltimore may have the most quantity of any retailer.

Pomegranate already sold out of several cases in less than 6 days!

When did you hear that 7 Mile paid them not to come?

(Last I heard also, was that Season's was coming to Balto)
