Stop & Shop in Tisbury

Avoid this location unless you want to get verbally harassed by one of the teenage employees who "works" here!

Convoluted signage and floor markings as well as inefficient use of checkout counters means there is always a line whenever there's even a hint of a crowd in the store. Items are well overpriced as is most things on the island (example: beef like ny strip & ribeyes are about $9.99/lb on the mainland whereas they are $14-16/lb here...preposterous if you ask me).

Congratulations, you're now on Martha's Vineyard!  Now is a great time to put your expectations of everything being just like the mainland aside and focus on enjoying this lovely vacation destination!  Be aware that this is an island, so any items that aren't manufactured locally must be imported here by boat, which creates additional cost in the supply chain...that means that the stores here will have higher prices than the mainland, out of necessity.  You could complain about it, or simply acknowledge that that's part of island life (you'll find the same issue in the Caribbean and Hawaii, for example). Now that you've adjusted your expectations, know that of the two grocery stores in Vineyard Haven, Stop & Shop and Kronig's Market, this one is BY FAR the less expensive of the two.  Now, keep in mind that it's smaller and doesn't stock as many fancy specialty items, but if you're simply looking for regular, everyday groceries, this is definitely the place to go!   Since you're probably DYING for some lobster, know that you can get a perfectly acceptable lobster roll here for about $6-7...ie, about $10 less than the average lobster roll on the rest of the Vineyard!  Sure, it won't be gourmet, but it'll still be tasty, and you'll enjoy it more thoroughly knowing that you didn't get ripped off! Need pharmacy items?  Go around the corner to the drugstore-like portion of Stop & Shop, entered on the side of the building about halfway up the parking lot...
