Prepping for the holidays

[00tec]

I just started shopping at Shamrock Foods here in COS in March (maybe February). I can't say I'm real impressed with their frozen meats selection, but they seemed to still have a very good selection of fresh (vacuum sealed) meats a week and a half ago when I went last. However (yeah, here's the "but.."), they did have signs posted along the various fresh meats rows indicating they were experiencing shortages in many meats and asking folks to bear with them).

FWIW, If anyone is looking, Shamrock Foods has had Nitrile gloves in 100/box for $6 about 1/2 of the time I'm in the store. About another 1/4 of the time they only have them in size Small.

So far, it seems, most folks are hitting the chain grocery stores and Sams/Costco for their purchases and most don't seem aware of Shamrock. Hopefully I can get all I need BEFORE this changes.

I've been trying to stock up on canned items @ Shamrock but I must admit my focus did not consider getting Holiday meal items. That has now changed - thank you Grey.




If you need me to look for or even grab something for you, let me know. I can get it and hold it until we can meet.

Have you walked in behind the freezer faces? They have a decent bit of frozen meat in there. For example, they have the name brand breaded chicken tenders out front for like $4/lb. In the back, generic (albeit good) tenders were $1/lb

At this point, I wouldn't wear their loaner jacket though....

ETA: for example, a 5lb box of tenders at Sam's was a touch over $14 for the same grade of tenders.
