Not to be mean, but again, I agree with this poster's last sentence, totally. Bad habits with the English language.
We also have the gasoline discounts at our Price Chopper, however, we've noticed that the food prices soared when they implemented that program.
It's all marketing and fake advertising. Personally, I'm leery of any meat on sale at any supermarket.........I often wonder "how fresh is this".
"How old is this". I've read some horrible stories about what they do to meat that is on its way "out".
I also feel sorry for people who are "color blind". A few years back, up here at our Price Chopper, early in the morning, before the butchers were able to "remove the meat in question"..........I spotted some BLACK kielbasi. I called it to the attention of the lady butcher. She replied, "Oh, that must be a specialty item". I told her I begged to disagree and perhaps she should ask the head butcher..........she went into the back and returned with this story, "He said that all these boxes have some type of gas inserted and apparently there had been a LEAK and I was correct, the kielbasis SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BLACK".
Can't remember the exact name of the gas, but it keeps the meat pink.
A leak would turn the product black or grey.
Better safe than sorry.
