I have been giving cat food to this elderly gentleman on my street, he cares for a neighborhood cat he’s named Poldo.

Last month Poldo went missing and it breaks my heart for the man, he cares greatly for the cat. Has anyone seen him? Or heard about what might have happened to him? If you frequent the Halsey L and ever are on Jefferson I’m sure you have seen Poldo.

More pictures and making of it on my page.

Disclosure first: I built the free site linked at the end, no signup and no ads, and this post is mostly data.

Park Slope is the one neighborhood where a lot of people do their real shopping at the Food Coop, so a circular roundup feels a little beside the point. But if you are not doing a Coop shift this week, or you just want to know where the regular supermarkets are cheap right now, I read every Park Slope store's weekly ad each morning and this is what they are leading with.

A timing note: the C-Town, Foodtown, and Stop & Shop ads below run through tonight (Thursday 7/16) and flip to a new week tomorrow, while the Lidl and Whole Foods ads are the current 7/15 to 7/21 week.

Lidl (120 5th Ave), week of 7/15 to 7/21:

• Tomatoes on the vine, $1.49
• Bellarom ground coffee, $4.79

Whole Foods (214 3rd St), week of 7/15 to 7/21 (Prime price in parentheses):

• Strawberries, 16 oz, 2 for $7.78 ($7 for 2 with Prime)
• Yellow peaches, $2.77/lb ($2.49/lb with Prime)
• Large Hass avocados, 2 for $5.56 ($5 for 2 with Prime)

C-Town (329 9th St), through tonight 7/16:

• Seedless watermelon, quarter cuts, 79 cents
• Slicing tomatoes, $1.49
• Yellow nectarines and southern peaches, $1.49
• Red seedless grapes, $3.99

Foodtown (409 5th Ave), through tonight 7/16:

• Land O Lakes cage free large white eggs, $3.49
• La Yogurt, 10 for $8 (80 cents each)
• Land O Lakes whipped butter, $2.99

Stop & Shop (Atlantic Terminal, 625 Atlantic Ave), through tonight 7/16:

• Red seedless grapes, $2.69
• Tomatoes on the vine, $1.88
• 90% lean ground beef, $5.99/lb

A couple of head to head notes: on tomatoes on the vine, Lidl ($1.49, and good through next Monday) beats Stop & Shop ($1.88). On red seedless grapes, Stop & Shop ($2.69) beats C-Town ($3.99), but both of those ads end tonight.

If it is useful, the live cross-store price index is here (anyone can check it, no login): https://sbnyc.app/compare?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=summer-2026

Prices are from the stores' published circulars, verify in store.

This isn't my photo, and it's a couple years old, but this guy was on my block today threatening to stab people, shouting, knocking stuff over etc.

For reference, he stabbed me two years ago, and in at least one other incident followed someone into a bodega, assaulted them, and then stabbed them when they left the store.

In both those incidents the police were notified, provided with photos/video, and he's still out there doing this shit as of today. He's very dangerous, and he's not joking about stabbing you. Please be safe and avoid this dude if you see/hear him.

EDIT: Saw him at 1pm 9/30 on Lexington between Bedford and Nostrand. The other times I've seen him have all been between Bedford/Nostrand and Lafeyette/Gates.
