 Hey, NJRoot22.com here with another supermarket roundup for the weekend before Halloween 2018. And today we're going to do a little bit of a diversion from our usual point out to things. I just wanted to remind everybody that we don't talk about mainstream foods like Doritos, bread, pasta and stuff like that. If you've ever watched these for more than five minutes, you realize that we tend to try and eat whole foods and healthy and not jump on the trendy bandwagon of organic and sustainable and all that. But I wanted to talk to you about this independent choice which is the basil bandwagon company. You can see here there's basil bandwagon, there's a place in Marstown called Green Life Market and there's another place in Princeton called Whole Earth Center and then there's the Kimberton Foods in PA which we haven't been to yet but we seem to think they're a pretty decent store. We're going to go to the one out in Otsville which is just a stone's throw from Frenchtown. But this magazine here, it's all about healthy organic things and they're extremely expensive but you've got to be careful because you know I see the number of obese and overweight people going to these health food stores and just because they're organic or they're veggie burgers or it doesn't make it good for you to eat. I mean these people are like sickly overweight. I don't care if it's gluten-free bread or food should taste good tortilla chips or organic dippers. I mean like or boom chicka pop popcorn. These are not good foods to eat. Any kind of chip or carb is not going to be good for you. And they have some sort of kite hill cream cheese style spread. It's some sort of organic healthy whatever they call it. It's like five bucks and it's a rip off and jelly. I don't care if it's organic and it's crofters and some old guy with a hat they probably paid him to hold a few things of berries. It's yes okay sure it's less sugar and that's good especially if you're giving your kids some little toast. You got to be careful. So all these things like gluten-free pretzels, almond flour crackers, chips in general are just you just eat, eat, eat, eat, eat them and then you're going to gain weight. And I just want to also point out like apparently our house likes the Matt's organic orange juice the best. We water, I water when I'm giving my kids juice they never ever get at full strength. It's usually like five to one water to juice. It's too much sugar. It's like eating 50 oranges. You're better off just eating a whole orange if you're going to do it and I don't know fruit, fruit sugar is something you got to watch out for please for your own health. Cereal is one of the worst things you can eat for breakfast because you're going to be hungry for lunch before like 10 o'clock. You're better off eating a freaking hard boiled egg. Eat a hard boiled egg for breakfast on your way to work and watch how not you're not hungry for lunch. You got to do it for like a week for your body to reset but eat one egg and you'll see. So that's I just want to point out just because it's a health food store I see they tout and and and pedal these healthy unhealthy things and this because they're low in fat dry crunchy snacks are still uh not good for it. So with that diet drive over I'm just going to scan through these uh things really quick uh kings again we don't we shop here only out of necessity sometimes and uh we occasionally find a good deal on some things they they have bell and ovens shop right does not carry bell and ovens just in case you didn't know that because they think that bell and ovens has some sort of um inaccurate business practice where they call it one thing like healthy or whatever and it's not really true so the guy the guy at shop right told me that um the shop right doesn't carry bell and ovens for that reason so you can do your own research but we're not talking about kings today we're not going to really talk about stop and shop because I just can't get out here that's to be giving an honest uh I've been out there enough to know that I something's wrong with stop and shop but they do have a good buy on this um family pack lean ground beef this is our our favorite kind of meat to eat in 249 a pound is is actually really really good I couldn't find a deal like that anywhere else this week so if you want to make a whole lot of hamburgers for and meatloaf for people we didn't get our bishops ad this week either so there's really not much going on again I can tell you about bacon bacon is a damn good food to eat even with the night traits they have the jimmy dean I like the jimmy dean bacon and this comes out to about a dollar per quarter pound like you're gonna get a 12 ounce uh pack here but uh that's that's a that's the highest price we'll ever pay for bacon we picked up our uh stash of hormel low sodium bacon this week because it's the only one that we buy um that has sea salt as their uh salting method um again they're touting this fried chicken and I I I love fried chicken it's almost the worst food I eat and I don't buy it as nearly as much as I talk about it uh because it's breaded but every now and then it's probably not going to kill you if you don't eat all eight pieces at once if you have two or three pieces you should be okay and I don't see anything groundbreaking in uh shop rights uh add this week uh you know that's a good price the shop right moots you know you don't only buy those on sale never pay full price for five dollars a a pound paying full price for that stuff I mean unless you can't live without it which is ridiculous um just wait till it's on sale you can live without it just eat your meat and your eggs and and everything should be fine I don't really have much else to talk about with uh shop right this week because there's really when you think about there's really nothing really groundbreaking that will make people line up and stampede the store um each week so these sales are just hit or miss and I'm I'm not even sure why the ritual happens uh these days that's why we like going to places like Aldi because everything is always cheap and and you never have to worry about what's on sale I mean actually I don't really worry about what's on sale I keep I you know I pay attention I uh what do you call it I scan the things just so I know uh ahead of time what I I might want to pick up like the Hormel bacon for instance or if there's vitamins uh that that are on sale you know that nature's bounty and these are not bad vitamins I'm I mean I'm not going to be a senior citizen wearing a helmet um but these are these are good they work I I've used them I mean unless someone can prove it otherwise I I use their uh the vitamins are pretty good the cinnamon by the way you should look into cinnamon they don't have it on their picture here if you're going to eat uh carb food um take your cinnamon with it and it will lower your blood sugar and will gain uh less weight it's a secret that uh I don't know why it's not getting front page headlines uh everybody should take cinnamon so that's it this week I didn't really have any kind of focus on the individual products uh but that's okay we may uh we may figure out what to do with this but it's it's my little ongoing uh message to people about uh how to eat healthy in the stay away from the the bad foods enjoy your upcoming Halloween boom
