- The Best Stores Nearby
The best grocery stores by far are Walmart Supercenter in Turnersville, Aldi, and Acme. Since it is a college town, the prices will be increased significantly for stores nearby, such as ShopRite.
An option such as the Walmart Supercenter is perfect for your food, clothes, household supplies, and basic needs, all in one store. Students also get 50% off Walmart Plus, which allows for same-day free delivery if you’re in a rush and can’t shop, or your roommate with the car is busy. Target also has a similar deal for college students!
Aldi is relatively close, and their prices for fresh produce are hard to beat! Check their circular each week to see where you can save the best.
There is also a Fresh For All program in Parking Lot D Fridays from 10-11 am., where there are selections of fresh produce for free! Rowan University also has a store called The Shop, which is located in the Student Center. It has produce and canned goods, as well as utensils and supplies!
Acme is also on Instacart and Grubhub, making it an ideal place to get some quick groceries from.
If you really do prefer ShopRite, the one next to Aldi does take Rowan Bucks!
