Shoprite Of Carteret

Very friendly atmosphere some item prices r high some are low friendly cashier's

Nice store, but it 's a little bit of a confusing layout compared to other ShopRite stores. I haven 't been able to get the regular Bob Evans brand home style mashed potatoes in family size that are available at other local ShopRite stores, only the All Natural variety (which don 't taste nearly as good). They also seem to never have Bread and Basket (store brand) white bread. The last major gripe is that there aren 't any under the cart racks to put soda and water on, causing food and other items to be squeezed around the larger items in the cart.

I don't know why I continue to shop at ShopRite of Carteret. Another box of macaroni in the garbage. The sell by date is 5/11/25. As soon as I put the pasta in the boiling water I got about a dozen of those little black bugs floating on top. I try to support our local vendors, but enough is enough. it doesn't pay to complain because I get nowhere with the store manager Jonathan. The produce is terrible and you can't even get the butchers to cut you any type of meat you ask for. They're not butchers they're stock boys. I was told they can't cut the chicken because it contaminates the blades. I was told I couldn't get a piece of beef cut because the blades were clean. What the heck? I just spent two hours emptying everything out of my cabinets that could have been contaminated. I opened every box of rice and pasta, and had to put it in plastic bags. Time to get off my lazy ass and go to Woodbridge from now on shame on Shoprite a Carteret.

Carteret is a small town and to have this store here full of food and supplies that have fed me for years is a blessing.

This store has great helpful staff creative bakery artists. Living out of state from a Shop Rite it felt awesome to come back to the roots of a food store I grow up with.
