 We got some supermarket and retail news for March. What are we going to talk about this time? Hey there njroute22.com here with the supermarket retail news chat observations, whatever these are things I see we go to the supermarket and stores all Months long and I collect some pictures and I make some observations and I talk about them. We're going to start out this month's chat with shop, right Shop, right? We is one of our regular supermarkets are the big one of the biggest the biggest chain of supermarkets in new jersey And I noticed this at one of the shoppers. I forget where it was. It might have been in a chester not chester. It might have been in sterling, New Jersey, but fruit cups these these fruit cups Cantaloupe seven or eight bucks a cup. I mean Those are like new york city prices when you go to those stupid delis on Whatever wherever they are You shouldn't be eating fruit. Anyway, if you're too lazy, just I don't know. It's ridiculous It's a ridiculous markup for prepared cut food also I want to remind everybody again shop right has a new brand of Paper bird products of toilet paper and paper towels. They're cheap They're they're they're more expensive than the l cheapo brands and they're really not any better I don't recommend them I tried to find out who made them one managers thought they might have been made by mark cow You know, they just reopened their plant in wherever it was a long root 80 that burned down last year, but Stay away from them. We're sticking with our Our royale brand And I'll talk more about that in a minute and also I can't tolerate this fake food this fake meat and Every week I see a new new brand coming out. They're like really capitalizing on people's stupidity to buy these things But I love the name of this product here. It's called meatless farm I mean they just take the two trigger words, you know meatless. Oh, that's going to trigger somebody and then you put the word farm in Oh farm is good farming logo sustainable Whatever they put those two things together and everybody loves it. It's so dumb. I don't know Just don't do it if you're smart And here's another thing that I think might be helpful Believe it or not, the shop right has these club size savings And I I saw two products that I thought were fairly good values for families, especially with kids They had these box of egg this three or four pound box of eggplant cutlets breaded, of course They weren't gluten-free But I looked at the carbs. They were fairly low in carbs for us I wouldn't buy them But if you if you're ever in a pinch it might not be bad to have them They also also had these chicken nuggets, which also seemed to be fairly high quality I think three or four pounds It was really cheap and if you if you want to if you have a spare freezer and you can keep these things They might be handy for a rainy day not every day eating, but why not keep some they're affordable and lastly I don't eat granola, but my kids do and I Looked at the the options of granola at shop right. I'm like, holy crap There's like 5,000 different varieties and most of them had little fruit bits in it and then you look at the ingredients They're dense. They are dense and they are packed with sugar and carbs. I don't know I mean I looked and looked and looked for just plain old granola There is no plain old granola because obviously that would taste like Like rocks But I think the plainest of the plain is like oats and honey and it took me like 10 minutes to find Find which one I just uh, I wish my kids weren't on and maybe I can convince the The board of directors here at our house not to let our kids have that anymore, but for now What can you do? All right, we're on to whole foods now whole foods I'm not a big fan. I don't like the mindset that they try to push on people and this this bogus health nonsense Um And the thing I'm going to point out today is that they have these big like memes Over on the front of the store. They're talking about oh healthy and wholesome and all the buzzwords that most dopes Uh, just gobble up without even thinking but then they're talking about the promote well-being But have you seen most of the employees at least of the whole foods over in bridge water? They're all out of shape and like like obese Maybe they should think about hiring Employees that better represent the memes at the front of the store well-being and healthy and all this and Don't you think I mean either that or get rid of the damn memes and keep your fatties on on staff That's it's just hypocritical. It looks bad, but I guess they just don't care since Billionaires own this company. They don't just give they don't give a crap They just don't give a crap And lastly this week we are on to Aldi one of my favorite stores because they are of value and I think the quality is Is perfectly acceptable They now too have the fake meat stuff, but At least they don't call them burgers and I am I kind of gave them a little bit of a thumbs up for being Accurate at least it just says meatless ground plant protein. That is what it is Even though they have a picture of a taco on the box. They're not calling it Meat it's just ground plant protein. It is what it is. You got to give them credit And one last thing like last year I crowned Aldi the to champ for paper towels. They're no longer the champ Although there's still I think a good value in the quality is in that upper echelon of bounty like products I think their quality has gone down. I can just tell They're thinner less absorbent And I I'm going to stick with the royale brand over at ocean state job Like that is the king of the hill by far right now. It's better than bounty and cheaper So that's it. If you liked our little wrap up this week, hit the like and subscribe and I'll see you next video
