Though it wasn't the top-scoring chain for quality of produce or meat, Market Basket did receive good marks for overall quality.
Donelan's Supermarket, Whole Foods and Wegmans were among the most expensive grocery chains.
On the quality side, Shaw's, Star Market and Stop & Shop all received low ratings from surveyed customers.
