I am a grocery store snob, I can admit it. I am very particular about the brands I buy and the locations where I do my grocery shopping. In all fairness, I am pretty health-conscious, so a limited number of stores carry the brands and types of food I eat. I must not be alone in my snobbery though, because a few of my favs are considered "Best In Class" in the Grocery Panel Study. Out of the study's top 10 grocery stores for 2023. As a matter of fact, 3 of the grocery stores on the list actually have locations in New York State.

What “Best in Class” factors drive grocery shopping satisfaction? It’s much more than just price!

The "Best In Class" stores provide high-quality foods, great checkout experiences, and value for a dollar.
