My Shopping Trip: ShopRite and Stop & Shop

Well, I can say that I am starting to feel a little more comfortable shopping in our new town.  I now know how to get to all the stores although, even though I get there, it might not be the quickest way.

Last night I dragged Pat out to ShopRite with me.  Actually, we had to go to Home Depot to pick up garbage cans for recycling (used a 10% Lowes Coupon that we received from the USPS Change of Address Pack) so we stopped at ShopRite and Stop & Shop on the way home.  I was going to go back to Best Market (located in Holmdel) for the Boneless Chicken they have for $1.79 per lb this week but, I got the new ad in the mail yesterday and Boneless Chicken Breast will be only $1.59/lb starting tomorrow.  Yippey!  If you are anywhere near Best Market, I would recommend going there.  Green Peppers will be only $0.39/lb,  1 dozen eggs $0.59 Bush’s Baked Beans $0.59 and lots of other great deals.  That is where I will be tomorrow for sure.
