  • ShopRite for big grocery runs. The light rail goes to Harsimus Cove, which is literally next to the parking lot.

  • Lee's Continental on Grove has been a hidden gem for me. Also, Olivia's on Newark Ave is great for fresh fruit and meat.

  • 99 Ranch is an Asian grocery store, so it's amazing if that's what you're looking for. Can be hit or miss for other staples, though.

Oliva's and Sprove are also options closer to the Grove St PATH. Oliva's is a bit smaller and more bodega-like (although still pretty large given the 2 floors) but have later hours than Lee's.

This is all solid information. There’s also a Costco not too far away, but you’d probably need a car (you didn’t mention if you had access to one or not).

The Target near Newport mall doesn't have everything but they have some basics too. If you have a car Bayonne has a Costco and a Walmart supercenter.

ShopRite is more expensive than Target or Lidl.

I'm not positive this is 100% true, but even so, ShopRite's proximity to the light rail makes such a difference if you're lugging around a ton of groceries. I often end up Ubering home from Target, which definitely wipes out any potential savings lol.

If you shop at both you will find it is true. Aldi is cheaper still, but its location for public transit is horrible.
