How to create a shopping list:
One of the great features of our online shopping experience is the ability to create a shopping list. Do you have regular items that you buy every week? Create a list and you can order those at the click of a button! Or, do you need to make a list for that birthday party or other event you're hosting next week? No problem! You can also make lists for specific occasions and simply add items as you remember them. There are a couple of different ways to get a list started so that you can easily add items to a list wherever you are at in your shopping process:
- From any item page or listing, you will see the "List" button located above the “Add to Cart” button (please note that you must be logged in).
- Click on "List" and you can add any quantity of that item to an existing list or create a new list right from there.
- From your shopping cart page, you can also select to move (and delete from your cart) any item to one of your lists, or copy an item (and keep in your current cart) to any list, as well.
You can also manage your lists from your account page. You can access your account options from the top right, where it says Hello, (your name). From the drop-down menu, select “Lists." Here you can manage the items in any of your lists. You can also select to move (and delete from your list) any item or the whole list to your shopping cart, or copy an item or the whole list to your cart as well.
Curbside Pickup FAQs
If I’ve been diagnosed with COVID-19, can I use this service?
You can certainly place an order, but we ask that you please have someone else come pick-up. According to local, state and federal health officials, people with COVID-19 should be quarantined, which means you should not be outside and interacting with others.
We also respectfully ask that if you are experiencing symptoms, for the health of our staff, you have someone else come pick up your groceries.
How do I place an order?
Follow the steps above to register and place an order for curbside pickup through Webcart.
Can I return something I purchased online?
Yes. If you need to return an item, please bring the product and a receipt to our Customer Service desk.
How do I pay for my order?
When you come to pick it up, we can accept credit, debit, EBT, check or cash. You will have the option to pay online. Alternatively, we can accept your payment at the time of pickup.
What if I can't find an item on the site?
If you are unable to find a product online but think we carry it, click on the Can't Find Something? button when viewing your shopping cart. Enter as much information about the product as possible, including the number of or weight desired for the item, and we will make our best attempt to find it for you.
Can I add special instructions for items?
Yes! For instance, do you need avocados ripe for guacamole today... or do you need them ripe tomorrow? You can add special instructions to any item in your shopping cart from the Shopping Cart page. There is also an option to put instructions that apply to the entire order.
How do substitutions work?
By default, we do not substitute items. However, from the Shopping Cart page, you may select Allow Substitutions for specific items or select Allow All Substitutions. Selecting this lets our shoppers know that you'll accept a similar item if the original one you selected is unavailable at the time we prepare your order. You will be charged the price of the substitute item.
Please keep in mind that we carry a lot of unique products, thus not all items will have a suitable substitute available.
Is there an order minimum I need to meet?
Currently, there is no order minimum.
How far in advance can I place an order for pickup?
We will accept orders placed up to ten days in advance.
Can I order beer and wine?
Beer and wine are available for purchase online and from the curbside area.
How do I know if an item is on sale?
Sale items will have the original price struck through and show the sale price below the original price. They'll also show the savings amount in the bottom corner of the product image.

Please give us a call at (413) 584-2665 ext. 315 if you need to change the pickup date and/or time for an order you've already placed.

If it's for an earlier date or time, we will do our best to accommodate the change - but be aware we may not be able to always process the order earlier than your original selection.
NOTE: Orders are assembled on your scheduled pickup day. We're sorry, but we cannot place items on hold for orders placed earlier.
Can I review my order once it's placed?
You will receive a confirmation email when you place your order that includes a list of everything you ordered. Additionally, you can log in to your account and select "Past Orders."
