 Did you know that Ocean State JobLod has one of the funnest ways to save money? But you've got to be careful or you'll buy things you don't need. Hey there, NJRoot22.com here with a local vlog about a business in Hunterdon County. It's called Ocean State JobLod. There's not many of them in New Jersey. They're mainly like a Massachusetts northeast, a further northeast company. We've talked about them in the past many times. And there's one in Clinton, New Jersey on Route 31 North. We go there regularly and we also visit the one in Easton, PA. I believe it's Easton or where, I forget, I forget somewhere else. But they have something called Crazy Deals and they have them every week where you buy, you know, a lot of times you buy, you know, $10 worth of this or $50 worth of this or buy these two, you know, shovels for 15 bucks and they'll give you an equal amount gift card, $15 gift card that you can use starting the next day for other items. And they sometimes have it like where you buy a $200 item, you'll get a $100 gift card. So it's not always dollar for dollar. And sometimes they go over nuts. They'll sell like a $4,000, like a retarded massage chair that no one needs. And they'll give you a $4,000 gift card. So, but, I mean, those are very enticing. It's really literally like getting it for free. But the key is to not buy something just because you get the gift card because you're going to end up having something you don't need. I mean, maybe if you buy things regularly at Ocean State Job Lot, you can flip something on eBay. A lot of people do do that, I heard. But we make it practical for practical. So if I ever see something that is on this crazy deal that I would use or want or need, then absolutely I'll buy them. I mean, I try not to buy excess. But like, for instance, they had this free, eat for free. And I looked, they have a whole bunch of pretty much crap that you can buy, you know, you spend $10 or more on these items and you'll get an equal amount crazy card to use for a future purchase. And I only really found one item that I sort of liked and it was almonds, sliced almonds. So I got two bags for 12 bucks. And I bought and I got a $12 gift card, $11.98 to be precise. But they didn't have anything else I really wanted. So I couldn't find myself buying. I mean, they had some mini Sriracha sauces, which I really don't need. I'm well stocked up on spicy condiments, which I don't use much of anyway. But so I was able to use this gift card for other things. So I'll eat the nuts over time. It'll take me six months. I toast them in the oven and put some salt and coconut oil on it. And they're a good little low carb treat for us. But so I can use that gift card or I did already use that gift card for things like tea bags, which I use regularly. They have good sales on cleaning supplies. They have that Zep brand, decreases, dog treats are very affordable there. You can get a four pound bag of three or four pound bag of perfectly fine made in the USA dog biscuits for $3.99 compared to these other fancy brands that play into the human emotion, make you think like your dog is going to live to be $300 if you give them these healthy organic treats. And they also have kitchen supplies like plastic wrap and and foil and parchment paper and all that other stuff. So there's practical useful things available at Ocean State JobLot. So I think it's it's great if you see a crazy deal for something that you will absolutely use or need or or want, you're going to be a okay. And you know, a couple of the things we do check out from time to time at Ocean State JobLot and is they have some seasonal items, you know, men's I found some really good men's clothing there in the past few years. I found some pretty high quality t-shirts for like $3 or $4. And if you look carefully, you can find some, you know, higher end men's shorts and so on. I've never found long pants there because I'm just too tall. The length is never long enough, but I found some decent shorts there like I like an air walk brand. I think there were 10 bucks a pair, which is it, which is a good price, but you have to, you know, separate the wheat from the whatever they call that because some are really, really just bottom of the barrel crap and you wear them once and they'll just shred. That's not very convenient in public. But so that's it. The key takeaway is to only buy things on this crazy deal that you will use, need or want. Don't buy just because you've got a free thing because then you're just acting stupid. All right. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe and hit the bell. Have a good day.
