 Hello, NJRoot22.com here with the special Thanksgiving Black Friday edition of the supermarket roundup. I'm filming this on Thanksgiving morning before we head out into the events for the day, but I was going to do this last night, but let's just talk about it. It's a kind of a pact with flyers this week, so what am I talking about? Let's start off with Kings. Not impressed. Again, they have this big front and center, hot deals for Black Friday week, whatever that means. As always, there's really nothing to write home about. There's a couple I will point out though, however, they have the LaCroix, that's a good deal. If you like orange juice, they have their orange juice. Black Friday comes at the $2.59 ounce container. Another thing I saw that was pretty decent is they have the Bell and Evans Chicken Nuggets for your kids. Those are half price, basically, $7.49, excuse me, Jesus, for two packages. Next is, we're going to quickly talk about IGA, which is Bishop's White House, Pennington Food Market down there, on Route 31. Really not much to write home about, either except they have organic blueberries for $2.99 a container. We think that there's an ongoing debate in here. Does organic really, really matter, or is it just something you do to feel good about yourself? Because what, 70% of the organic products tested had some sort of non-organic pesticides or whatever on them. I don't know. Hatfield Bacon, it's not our favorite, one of the worst, but $2.99, you can't go wrong to save money. They have these Meat Franks, Hatfield, again, not one of our favorite brands, but it says selected varieties are $0.99. You'll see inside that it's not the beef Franks, I think it's just the chicken and pork Franks. This is interesting, IGA here is touting, it's the store brand that's name brand. Are they saying that the name brands make all their things, sort of the way Aldi does? They got some organic stuff on sale here. You could see strawberries, frozen strawberries, it's always good to have in the freezer. Here's the Hatfield, you can see the beef Franks are $4.00, so beef Franks, I think, taste significantly better when you eat them by themselves. I don't use buns, so that makes a difference, you can really taste the difference. Stop and Shop, I say no, I'm not a big fan of Stop and Shop, even though they're pretty close by to where we are, we're not a big fan of Stop and Shop. Until we find a good reason to go there regularly, we're not going to give them much attention here, but they do have a good price on lean ground beef, which is $1.99 a pound when you buy it in their value pack, probably 3 or 4 pounds. Here's something interesting, one of our favorite stores out there to find good deals is Ocean State Job Lot, and they have their typical Black Friday sale going on here. It's not as good as I thought it would be, but they have some things that are almost like no-brainers to buy if you want to save some money. I recommend using rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries for all your toy needs, but here's something, you get 32 batteries, double layer triple A alkaline Panasonic batteries. You pay 14 bucks, you get a $14 gift card, it's like getting them free, especially if you buy useful things from Ocean State Job Lot already, it's just dumb not to take advantage of this. It's always good to have some throwaway batteries in your arsenal, just in case you don't want to care about recharging them or not losing them. Here's some good deals, I'm going to buy this, it's an omelette pan, it's one of those copper omelette pans, it's 10 bucks, you get a $10 card, but I always wanted to try, I can make eggs and omelettes without it, but it would be nice to try it, even if I throw it out or it just takes up too much room and ends up in the basement somewhere. It's a free way to try it, and here they have their copper pans, they're not the best, they're not like brand name and they won't last forever, but if you need to make little loafs or pies or things, you pay 15 bucks worth of those, you get a $15 card for it. Here's some other good ones too, these art supplies in the middle, these artist pads are great for kids, it's like getting them free, I don't know if I buy the canvas, but these artist pads are great, they really are. So that's what I recommend there this week, and here's another one for the Saturday and Sunday door busters, just booster cables, it ends up being five bucks, you get 15 bucks, you get a $10 card, so I think that's it for this week on the odd lot, job lot, and these knives here, they're pretty sharp, if you need a couple chef's knives or stocking stuffers to give somebody, I have one of these at home, they're not the best, I mean they're not heavy duty, the handles are hollow I believe, and it's not as balanced as some of the more expensive knives, but this is a good deal, it's like getting free stocking stuffers, and I'm still interested about this gaming box, I mean I've always been a gamer my whole life, remember when I was younger, but here's something odd this week, we're not really going to go into shop right, because I think they're just sort of, they got their fill, and there's really nothing good this week, there's no real good meats on sale, they have their cheeses, these cheeses are always a good deal every week, so it's no point in pointing them out, so I'm not really going to talk about shop right this week, nothing groundbreaking at all, boring this week I think, so I'm not going to talk about it, but we'll make a brief mention of Walmart, Walmart this is interesting, they have good deals on things like a 40 inch TV at 1080p, they want 4K now, but that's ridiculous, but the thing you need to understand about all these high tech things, look how clean they make that, next year they're going to be obsolete practically, or you're going to want something new, so see if you can do without it, I mean this is a good deal, this gaming laptop seems, I don't know, I would recommend against tech, I mean because it's, tech is bizarre, it doesn't last long, it really truly doesn't last long, and they get you buy all this stuff and you're going to buy the similar thing in a year or two anyway, so it's bizarre, but the thing they do have, and cell phones too, you're going to need a new one in a year or two, it's just to hold off, buy a used one on Amazon, like two-year-old model, you get them really cheap, the thing that that might be good at a place like Walmart this weekend, or toys for the kids, because that you can't avoid the toys, it's almost like tech for kids, all this stuff they're going to destroy it or want new ones, the toys aren't bad and they probably have some decent things on some tools or useful items, so if you could find something you might need, functionally need for the house, there might be some good deals to have, like this Instapot, 59 bucks seems to be the low bar for those things, I mean when they're $29 I might buy one, but so that's it, it's mostly consumer junk, and you know what's the best deals this Black Friday weekend is Lowe's, I mean I'm not sure Home Depot has similar good deals, and I'm not going to get into every deal that Lowe's has here, but they have some incredible deals on things like that used to be really expensive, and this should be the only time like these refrigerators, it was normally $2,200 bucks, $9.99, I mean that's a profound savings, and like around Christmas time these bit kits, like a hundred piece, normally $50 bucks, $17.98, those are really really good deals there, they probably sell out, they probably just have just enough, but all throughout this entire Lowe's Flyer they had really like very low priced items like for instance I like this, these step ladders are extremely useful, $19 bucks, normally $45, and they had another ladder in here that I might pick up, because we don't have a good folding ladder in this house, and if I could find it in here it's worth mentioning, but other than that I mean like if you really look hard you can find some really good deals at Lowe's, I think it was on the back, yeah, this five foot ladder is normally $70, only $22, you cannot beat it, and we have one of these little giant ladders, they're real bulky, but they take up less rooms, they're like four different ladders, you can have four in one, essentially you can have a folding, but I don't use this, so that's why I want to get one of these guys just for quick jobs instead of having to schlep this this thing out, so that's it, I really do think Lowe's has the best Black Friday deals in terms of discount savings on what's useful around the house, so that's it, have a nice Thanksgiving weekend, and I'll see what I can come up with next week.
