Staff are very knowledgeable, they carry a good range of high quality meats, and will order things in on request.

"passing lane up to speed limit only" is always an odd comment. If everyone's going speed limit, no one's passing anybody.

Reply to comment by BitterDropToSwallow in How Much Do You All Spend on Groceries per Week? by BitterDropToSwallow
Glad to hear!
JusticeJaunt t1_j60yq4l wrote
I spend for my wife and I about $80 average per weekend with my bi weekly bills budget is about 600. When I need to get multiple staples at once (soy sauce jug, peanut oil, vinegar, etc) it can go to about 140.
I go to the ShopRite in Woodbridge.
Biggest cost saving measure is to buy items that can be used for multiple meals. Cost per use has become my main metric for anything such as food or clothes. Groceries are probably the only thing in my financial life I have under control.
Value pack thighs for lunch meal preps. 1 pack is good enough for both of us. 1 pack of sweet potatoes, bok choy for greens. We have rice but my wife is the only one that eats it with lunch so usually just leftover from the night before.
A whole chicken can be good for at least 2 or 3 meals.
1 pork shoulder is good for at least 3 meals. Cook at 275 until about 205° and you have pulled pork. Great to stir fry with eggs on the weekend, tacos, mixed with greens and shit.
I really try to limit the single meal items and almost never buy beef because the cost is unjustifiable unless I'm getting a brisket from the butcher for a family gathering.
This may have been way more than was necessary but it is what came to mind so I'm sorry.

I was fully expecting you to say:

I actually feel a little let down as such.

Reply to Menlo Traffic Rant by johnyhojnsh
Fewer COVID restrictions, people got gift cards to burn. Menlo may be the bigger mall compared to Woodbridge and is more centrally located to a bunch of towns.
I was at Menlo the day after and forgot how much of a madhouse these places can be. Some woman lost her kid but was luckily found a few minutes later but that shit was scary.

Reply to Seven months has past since the enactment of the single use plastic ban. How many reusable bags do you own? How many of them do you use on a consistent basis? by Eastcoastpal
I have 5 bags, 2 which are used for groceries weekly. I've been using them since before the ban.
Using them regularly is extremely easy.

Hunterdon is a nice county. Smaller communities and loads of outdoor activities. Beautiful area.

Pumpkin spice... Is nutmeg, that's my fault.

Looking at the toppings, it doesn't seem as bad as I thought. Kabucha and caramelized onions sounds pretty nice.
Pumpkin spice candied bacon? Not sure that sounds great but I think that's because I find hazelnut nutmeg in most commercial products a bit nauseating.
Edit: thank you for the correction, I am obviously not a pumpkin spice person or I'd have remembered what it was called.

I received a text or email the other day saying they were upgrading services today, Friday, but in Union county. Not sure if that applies elsewhere though I imagine it would.
