 So what interesting things do we have to talk about at your local New Jersey supermarket this month? Hey there, njroute22.com here with another one of our monthly supermarket chats, discussions, news, no real news, whatever you consider news this month. But there's a couple things that I wanted to talk about that I found interesting or that I might find worthwhile sharing with you. Number one, last month there was this big coupon in in the newspapers or whatever you want to call those rags of pointless press. But there was a $15 stop and shop coupon. I think you have to spend $50 to get that discount. But that equates, if you spend exactly $50, that equates to a 30% savings in your food. And we used it and it was a little bit hard for me to find things that weren't extensively more expensive than where we normally shop. But we ended up using it. I was wondering why stop and shop in this area was looking to take either money from their competitors or to give them a little more operating cash for their stop and shop division. Because it's part of a much bigger corporation overall. And I really believe that the stop and shop in this area is suffering financially for them to offer such a substantial deal. So I don't know what you think. But we went there was a one and done deal. There's really not much else. I get it shop right up. I mean stop and shop other than that butter. I think it were Kate's butter. They're the only place now that I can get this really good butter made in Maine that has sea salt in it instead of regular processed awful salt. So that's that. Speaking of salty things. I just wanted to point out that this Liddy's bacon that they sell at Shoprite around here is something that you should probably keep your eye on and buy them when you can. Because I don't know how long they're going to be at this 3.99 price. Which is about the equivalent of any other brand when it goes on sale. And this is their everyday price. And I find it to be the best tasting bacon overall. It's not with the fancy buzzwords and labels on it such as some of the other organic brands and all that. But it's really the best bacon overall and best bang for the buck when it's not on sale. So keep an eye on it. If you could find it. I don't particularly like the maple one because it doubles the amount of sugar and it tastes good. But the maple one I'm not going to buy anymore. And speaking of these buzzwords that bacon and other organic products like to use. Just looking through my own freezer of things that other people in our house like to buy. It's these buzzwords. I think they use focus groups and they try to figure out what lowers the defenses of a food customer most. And I think I pointed this out in the past about vitamins. Nature. Nature. Nature. Nature. Nature is in every single product name. As if nature is this perfect poisonous utopia of food and products. No, nature is dangerous. Volcanoes are nature. Lead is found in nature. There's a lot of things found in nature that aren't good for you. But yet like 90% of the products have to use that word. And I find it fascinating. I don't fall for it just because I see nature. I'm just going okay I'm going to buy it. No. But then there's another new one that they're using. It's simply. Simple or simply. Simply nature. Nature. Nature's simple simplicity. It's I find it fascinating. Why do they have to use such buzzwords? Is it that easy to win a customer? Maybe I should change the name of my blog to simply New Jersey root22.com and then I'll quadruple my low readership. Anyway, I just find it fascinating the words in everything now. All right. Onto one specific product. Two specific products here. It's these curando meatballs. They're normally really cheap. We find them at shop right and when they're on sale they're like 349 a pound. Which is pretty cheap. And I know it's not 100% meat. It's probably 80% meat and 20% other fillers and flavors. I guess they're a good meal. They're low low in carb but I found that the flavor and overall texture wasn't very good. But I'm just wondering how they can get away with selling it so cheap. What corners are they cutting and how can they make a profit? I'm just definitely not impressed with these things. I mean I guess for somebody in a hurry and you need a quick thing to make that's other than you're just same old meat every day. But on a low carb keto diet you usually don't think about food and need to be entertained orally like that so often. I think people who complicate their lives with you know sophisticated foods end up being the ones they raise the bar so high they're bored every single day of their lives unless they have something you know astonishingly fresh and new. I don't know keep it simple and you're well on your way to happiness. Same thing with these sausages these breakfast sausage. I see them so expensive at the shop right I mean compared to what I see these Bob Evans brands and Johnsonville and they all seem to be made in the same exact factory because they're all packaged identically. I don't know I guess maybe the sausage robot is only one kind of sausage robot out there and they all make them the same way. But we found these exact same sausages over at Letal in Easton. I always either Easton or Union I forget which one I went to but the exact same sausage were a buck 40 and I could buy three packs of these sausages at Letal for the same price as these Bob Evans or Johnsonville sausages and they tasted to me identical but we have a future story coming up about pork roll. I always thought that they're the same but there are some differences worth mentioning and you'll see in a future video of ours that something happened I think fire alarm went off I wonder why I gotta go check it out have a good week ahead
