When talking about convenience, nothing beats being able to shop online for groceries, deciding on a time to pick them up, driving up to the store and having them delivered right to your car. You don’t even have to get out to pay for them.
For mother’s with children, this is truly a major convenience in not only time, but also in saving the extra money you would undoubtedly spend for all the odds and ends your children pull off the shelves as your cart goes by.
For many years, the Zallie Family has generously donated food and products and resources to the residents of Medford and the surrounding community.
Within the last year ShopRite has started an online shopping service called ShopRiteFromHome, which can be found on the ShopRite.com website. A Customer can easily place their shopping order online and select a time slot for their pick-up, come to the store and never get out of their vehicle.
Upon arrival, a store associates comes out to the car to take your payment and the groceries are placed in the trunks.
Now that’s convenient!

Medford Joins Appeal of State COAH Regulations Today, Medford Township joined the New Jersey State League of Municipalities and dozens of individual communities in appealing the regulations adopted by the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) on June 2, 2008. The new regulations impose an arbitrary and unrealistic burden on municipalities throughout the state, and in particular communities like Medford. These new regulations impose a so-called “growth share” affordable housing obligation on Medford of 328 affordable housing units.
This unreasonable and unjustifiable burden has been placed on Medford despite the Township’s long history of good faith compliance with its COAH requirements, having fully satisfied its First and Second Round affordable housing obligations. Further, Medford has created affordable housing opportunities within the Township, as evidenced by Council’s recent support for the MEND affordable senior project, the Medford Leas Creekside project, and its commitment to renovation of the historic Singer House for use as supportive housing.
COAH’s arbitrary and poorly-considered determination that Medford has a prospective affordable housing obligation of 328 units ignores issues such as lack of sewer capacity, which has been recognized by the New Jersey Supreme Court, the restraints on development imposed by other state agencies, such as the Office of Smart Growth, DEP and the Pinelands Commission, and encourages the wasteful extension of infrastructure improvements.
An interesting article appeared in the Courier Post’s website, talking about the political yard signs that inevitably pop up around Medford each year around election time.
The question being whether they are good or bad, helpful or an eyesore.
You can read the article here
Whether your Democrat or Republican, the argument is an interesting one. Does anyone really pay attention to the signs?
How many times have you been influenced by seeing a political sign? What’s your opinion?
