 Hey there, NJ, Route22.com here with another frigid movie studio, video studio, top five deals of the week. We're not using a DSLR anymore, we're using a $70 cell phone. This week we're starting off with Ocean State JobLive, we love this place, we buy a lot of tea there, we dog treats and all sorts of stuff and what we look for every single week is crazy deals where we buy something useful and we get like free money to buy other useful things and that's a good way, I mean it's like a tricky way of just getting things for less. This week they have copper cookware things, spend ten bucks on these things, every ten dollars you spend you get a ten dollar crazy card to use for other things. We like that, I mean this stuff is not heirloom, you'll throw it out in a couple of years. This is Aldi, Aldi, Aldi, Aldi pretty much has everything cheaper than everywhere else, almost always. But we're going to pick one thing a week that we think might be worthy and this week it's a mandarin orange, you get three pounds of these little things for $1.99, we don't really stress the fruit too much. For kids, infrequently like no more than one a day, you can give them half an orange or half a little orange instead of juice, it's so much better than juice, there's fiber, there's bulk, I mean there's minimal fiber. There's some bulk, helps fill you up. Next up is Kings, this week we actually have a few items that because we normally never shop there but we scan their sales flyer to find things that are a win, a win. And I think we have a pretty good win here this week. There's three items that essentially water, I'm not bringing them up again, it's this high pH water that we think is pretty good but they have 1250 point whatever ounces of bottles of water for $20 bucks, $19.99, comes out to be like a $1.67 or something like that a bottle. That's a decent price, I think it's the best goings, additionally they have Bounty Paper Towels, which is the kingpin of paper towels in terms of quality but they're always the most costly and our sweet spot for paper towels is a dollar, I mean 1.5 cents per square foot, that's how much the best Aldi value pack has, so but it's 2.2 cents a square foot for Bounty of Kings this week, you gotta buy two packs for 25 bucks but I think it is the best value and I think it's better than Shoprite which has a similar sale where you gotta buy two for $12.99 but it's less paper, I think it's 12 equals 15. I did the math on the Kings, it's 560 square feet, I think you get only 400 something square feet with the Shoprite so it's a better deal than Shoprite. Speaking of Shoprite, we have a few items that we have featured this week and it's this Schweppes Seltzer, we love Seltzer now because we mix it with our Smirnoff Spiked Sparkling Seltzer, it's refreshing even in this freezing dungeon in, they have two for $12 packs for $8.88 and that comes out to about $18.5 cents per can which I think it's a good deal and it can't go wrong especially if you're using it as a mixer and this is the last time I'm gonna mention the Shoprite Shredded or Chunk Cheese, we like this stuff because I mean I'm telling you like unless you're eating it like as a like a wine review and you're tasting notes and stuff, Shoprite Cheese is great, I love it. It's always a $1.99 on sale for $1.99 or under, I mean I think one week a year it's up to the regular price which is $2.99 a bar or a bag but they have it on sale this week for $1.70, I'm not gonna mention it again until they have that once or twice a year sale where it's $0.99 a bar or a bag, that is a killer price and I stock up, I have like six or seven bars in the fridge now that you know you I'll give you a little kitchen tip in a couple weeks on what to do with those things you have a lot of them. Lastly I noticed they had a like a higher priced milk on sale horizon it's I think the least good of the of the organic brands for whatever reason they had some checkered history it's like $4.49, I just wanted to point out that Basil Bandwagon if you live near one they're mainly in the central part of Jersey, I think there's one in Clinton and one in Flemington, New Jersey they have this natural by nature organic milk which is very highly rated by Cornucopia Institute as one of the better organic milks to buy and that's always $3.99 every day no sales. Speaking of Basil Bandwagon, we might as well mention them, they have weekly sales which we don't really pay attention to as well as monthly sales. The monthly sales once a month we're gonna mention a couple items from their monthly sales and they're part of the independent choice grocers. I think there's a couple other in this in this viewing area. Dean's Natural Market is in Chester I think there's one in Basking Ridge and there's another one called Green Life over in Morristown. They have a couple things some great things because if you really study the file you can find things exceptionally cheaper than the supermarkets and a couple things that I want to mention this this clip is they have these traditional medicinal teas and it's $3.49 cheaper than it is online and it's about a dollar or so cheaper than it is at most supermarkets so that's a good thing you could stock up on for the rest of this month and they have some good flavors too not as good as yogi but we like we like traditional medicinal. MCT oil medium chain triglycerides is an exceptionally good thing to have in your routine and they have the now foods MCT oil for $17.49 this week which is cheaper than Amazon it's cheaper than all these places so keep that in mind if you want to stock up it's the 32 ounce jar of that glass bottle and lastly they have Matt's organic orange juice we don't do orange juice too much I don't drink it because it's just liquid fat my opinion but when you have children and they need a little bit of flavor besides water and milk we water it down you know three or four to one you know just you got to ease them into the full sugar juice but they have it for $5.49 which is like at least two or three bucks less than than other markets I've seen it like $8 or $9 of Kings and $8 at shop right so $5.49 from that's organic is a really good deal okay so those are our little items for this week but I do have my weekly tip of the week okay the tip of the week is more like a common sense reminder you should always know this really but it reminders are great just like they remind you to plow your driveway or remind you to be careful in the rain it's still important to remind people because people forget it's about sales you know you have your your 50% off sales sales are extremely tempted but my common sense tip of the week here is I only buy things on sale when there are things I normally buy like the cheese is like bacon for instance like I love bacon but I won't buy it until it's on sale because it's normally $8 a pound but I can give it for $3.99 a pound there's no reason to buy it when it's not on sale so avoid buying things you don't need just because they're on sale the sales are enticing they're tempting oh look at this this stupid thing I don't want or need is on sale and I'm gonna say $40 $10 whatever it is and you feel like like you won something that that's that's the whole interesting aspect of sales you feel like you won something don't buy it if you if you weren't gonna buy it at full price you know the only exception I have to this is let's say you buy like a cheaper branded mozzarella cheese and then one week if premium better brand truly better brand is the same price or cheaper than the brand you normally buy sure it lets you enjoy a more expensive item for the for less or the same price that of your normal ordinary Joe I'd be careful when it comes to buying things on sale because when you feel like you won it's not really true because you win if you don't spend the money buying things you don't need so that's it I went really long this week I'm gonna edit some time out of this but it's too cold in here I'm like I'm rambling because I'm freezing but I hope I'm trying to get better with this video editing and I hope that the new camera or the $70 cell phone I bought on eBay it's two years old it's actually takes great audio it's better than the audio I took with this DSLR I don't know what the deal is but I guess that's why everybody has a cell phone now have a nice week ahead and we're gonna work on the dates and times and I usually did this on a Friday I think I may have to move this to a Sunday so I can incorporate shop right a lot of times when I announced shop right sales on a Friday didn't start till Sunday so with that said have a nice week ahead and whatever I think it's winter right all right take care
