Look at these beautiful legs. Somebody said we are crazy to be selling these for so cheap, especially with our disagreement with our northern neighbors. These wild caught Canadian crab legs will go through the roof. Get them now. We are starting to run low. Get them now for Labor Day or save them for Christmas. Check for details ⬇

Free Range Boneless Chicken Breast, not frozen. I do think free range tastes like chicken. That is a compliment.

I have Sugar Baby watermelons that just came in. This variety, also called icebox watermelon, is crisp, sweet and juicy. Check for details ⬇

Check out our protein powders and other workout powders in the back. We lowered the price on them.

This Liquid Death Severed Lime sparkling water is for when you want to feel something in your soul. Keep it in the fridge and have it after work.

Last call on the Wild Caught Canadian Crab Legs. Every day we are selling more and more crab legs and they are disappearing 2lb bags only. Seriously, compared to the stuff you can get at other places, these legs are thicc. They are much bigger than what you get everywhere else.

Pulled rotisserie chicken. This is excellent for lunch burritos. Lots of protein. Just add some veggies and some sauce, wrap it, and pan fry it for a crisp. You have a great lunch.

We have top quality produce. Nectarines straight from Hunts Point, one of the largest fresh produce markets in the US. ⬇

Green grapes. Nice and crispy. Perfect for a snack while you're sitting on the porch. ⬇

The Amish broccoli season is ending soon. Get your Amish broccoli right now.

25 lb bag of beets. These are so popular. I have seen some tiny women haul these up and put them into their car. I am amazed. Maybe because they eat beets, they are that strong. ⬇

Fresh Hunts Point mangoes. ⬇

We have jumbo garlic. I think these are milder, and not everything needs a punch-in-the-face garlic. I love to roast these. ⬇

Now is the time for long hots. Stuffed and roasted, these are delicious. ⬇

Ginger. I love ginger. My favorite is making ginger garlic oil with green onions. Just a little drizzle makes any dish shine. ⬇

Crab legs and more crab legs. A customer told me these are the best legs. These are wild-caught Canadian restaurant-grade legs. They are not like the kind you get at a buffet where you have to fight everyone to get a leg and then fight the crab leg to get the meat out. Check comments for more details ⬇

Manager has flowers tomorrow at 9:00 am when the store opens.

Seven Brew 1/2 gallon free milk with purchase. Limit 2 per family. We have regular milk(very limited), Smooth Mix(half-half), and Mocha. This is the stuff that is used in the stores, I believe. Yes, this is from the Seven Brew coffee place. WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.

Nice bananas. Check comments for details ⬇

I am so excited to have these. Ezekiel Bread English Muffins. While supplies last.
Amish corn. Check comments for details ⬇

We have pineapples that are ready to be eaten or made into jam. Our Amish customers have been buying cases of these. Check comments for details ⬇

Amish broccoli. I hated broccoli growing up, but as an adult, I love it. I was told that if I eat broccoli first, it is supposed to help with my blood sugar and help me feel fuller faster. ⬇

Organic prunes. Check comments for details ⬇

Ol Roy dog food. My guy John in dry said customers love this for their dogs.

For Labor Day, get these Canadian Wild Caught Frozen Cooked Crab Leg Clusters. Look at these. These are restaurant legs, not the stuff they sell at grocery stores. It's also not the kind you get at a cheap buffet. These are really nice thicc legs. Check comments for details. ⬇

We are getting near the end of our Italian prune plums. Remember that we get them at their peak, and for these, you need to get them now. Hurry and get them now. Customers who miss out ask all year long for these. ⬇

For Labor Day, get these hamburgers. These are restaurant hamburgers ready to be cooked on your grill. Nothing, I mean nothing, beats a hamburger on the grill. I know people love smash burgers, but in the summertime, grilled burgers are incredible.

Oikos yogurt with 14 grams of protein. Did you know that protein keeps you feeling full? That's why these yogurts are so good. They also help you maintain muscle.

We have lots of charcoal. For anyone interested, these go fast. If you want them, you need to get down here quick.

I have more Kinder Buenos. These are delicious. Simply delicious. I can't bring them home because they are gone in a few hours.

Amish broccoli that will change your life.⬇

Amish corn. The sweetest and best local corn. Feels like you are eating candy. ⬇

I love these Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls.

I do an end-of-summer cleanup, and I'm going to tell you, this Dawn Powerwash is one of the most important things I use. It is a professional-level degreaser. What it does is make you do less scrubbing because it starts working on stubborn grease or stains. This stuff is powerful, so you can't leave it on too long.

We have limited supplies of Italian plums, and unless there is a miracle, I cannot guarantee any more after tomorrow. You all went beast mode on them and went through multiple pallets. If you want them, please come tomorrow. Check comments for details ⬇

We have such incredibly beautiful flowers. Our warehouse knows that I ask every day. Flowers are such an incredible gift for our customers, and it makes me so happy that they make our customers happy.

Poland Spring Water. Limited supply. They will go fast.

These Turkey Cheddar sliders are so good. Pop them in the air fryer or toaster oven. I love the cheesy melt.

We got more Amish corn. I'm telling you, customers tell me this corn has changed their lives. Check comments for details ⬇

More Tide. They just keep ordering it. We went through a whole pallet yesterday.

One parent told me they try hard to get their kids to eat broccoli, but they love Amish broccoli. Kids say it doesn't taste like broccoli. I think it's because this is grown locally, and it tastes like what broccoli should taste like when it is grown locally and not sitting in a truck. Check comments for details ⬇

The same goes for the Amish cauliflower. Vegetables that are grown locally and at the store within hours don't need all this stuff. Just roast with some salt and EVOO. Bam. Check comments for details ⬇

Check out these Italian melons. They are ripe and ready to be eaten. Check comments for details ⬇

We miraculously got Italian plums or prune plums. These were so hard to get this year because of the freeze this winter in NY. The farmer told us no at first because their harvest was low. But we begged, and they gave us some. Last year, people were literally fighting in the aisles. You will need to get here quick because we have some, but not a lot. They will be in store tomorrow at 9. Not sure how much we have, and they will go fast. Please check comments for details. ⬇

My favorite cantaloupe. Amish cantaloupe. This is not like any other cantaloupe. This is what truly fresh fruit tastes like. It's almost a different species. This was ripened in the field, not in a truck or storage room. Please check comments for details. ⬇

The same for this Amish corn. So many customers cannot believe how good they are. Please check comments for details. ⬇

Can you believe we have Amish green peppers? It's so different in flavor from what we normally get. Please check comments for details. ⬇

Amish broccoli. Many customers have told me that their kids normally will not eat broccoli, and they will eat Amish broccoli. Also, I have heard from many of you that you love the stems. Please check comments for details. ⬇

Breaded Fish Wedges. Lots of parents have told me their kids love these. This is an air fryer special.

I have these Tide Boost with Oxi boost. Oxi is the first line of attack for tough food stains. I used to be an unbeliever, but this works.

4 packs of propane smaller tanks. For camping and outdoor cooking.

Have some nice blueberries. Please check comments for details. ⬇

I have some normal red plums. Please check comments for details. ⬇

Look below in the comments ⬇ just got something special in.

We have more of the favorite 80/20 Ground Beef Chuck. I personally grabbed 5 of these and put them in my freezer. The way beef is priced these days, it’s an investment to get it now.

Amish corn. If you thought the local corn was good, this is even better. Please check the comments because it’s even better ⬇

Look at these wonderful cantaloupes.

These are the Fucillo HUUUUGE seeded watermelons. These will feed everyone at a BBQ.

Witch Finger Grapes. If you loved the cotton candy grapes, you will love these Sweet Sapphire / Moon Drops. They have a sweet grape flavor. I love these even more.

We have yellow freestone peaches in right now.

These Bob Evans Mac and Cheese are incredible. They are heavy, and mac and cheese is perfect for the microwave.

If you are a child of the 80s, then you know Yoo-hoo. Get these cases of this chocolate drink that will bring you back to the sweet days of the 80s. Where life was simpler. That is what they tell me.

I have lots of pet food. We get cleared out as soon as we put it out.

These Pretzel Crisps are delicious. If you never had these, they are so good.

We are starting to get low on the Chobani yogurt special. First come, first serve. Check comments for details ⬇

Restaurant distributor uncooked breaded chicken breast patties. Everyone has a chicken sandwich these days, but honestly my favorite ones are the ones I make at home in the air fryer. I believe I can make as good of a chicken sandwich at home.

Brought in more watermelon. I'm eating more watermelon these days. Low in calories and full of water to make you full. I have either cottage cheese to balance out my sugar. Check comments for details ⬇

Local corn. Not driven from somewhere else, but locally grown and driven directly to the store. That means it is ripe and fresh. Don't mistake someone else's corn. So many customers have been saying that this corn is delicious. Check comments for details ⬇

Gen Zers (over 18 years old) have been telling me that Rockstar "slaps" and it's "fire." I have had people walk out with two or three cases. These cases are 12 packs. As the kids say, "No cap" lol.

Tampico. I have not personally tried this, but man, we see a lot of this going out the store.

Have more paper towels back in the store. Not sure how we ever lived before without paper towels. There are always so many spills in our house.

This Starbucks ground Nordique coffee is really popular. It's a light blend that Starbucks sells in Canada to compete against Tim Hortons (the Dunkin of Canada).

If you like the other cookies like Oreos, then you will love these Newman’s O's. Nothing better than a cold glass of milk and an O. Better ingredients.

The Europeans have loved ranch since they came to the US for the World Cup. You know it's better when you make it yourself. For your next party, grab a packet and make it yourself. When people ask, you can say it's HOMEMADE. 😜

Last batch of flowers for a while? I don't know because we don't know until we open the truck doors if we are getting flowers. Like my friend used to say, tomorrow, or next week, is not promised. We have beautiful flowers at 9:00 AM. UNLIMITED. Get them before the resellers get them. Check the comments for details.⬇

Thank you, Chobani. We have 32 oz Chobani, and you need to get it right now. Unheard of. Check the comments for details. ⬇

I love watermelon. My new breakfast is watermelon with cottage cheese. You can't just have watermelon. You need protein. I have lost weight eating it like that.⬇

I have restaurant-grade frozen hamburger meat. Five 8 oz patties 2.5lbs. These are delicious.

Stahl-Meyer hot dogs. The weekend is calling for hot dogs and hamburgers.

Corn on the cob is needed. Local corn on the cob. Check the comments for details.⬇

I have been eating some kale salads that we have and adding just a little bit of bacon. Incredible. I like how the kale salads have sweet vinaigrette, and the bacon makes them perfect.

King's Hawaiian buns. I take the hamburgers above, smash them, add chopped grilled onions and cheese, divide everything among the rolls, and make sliders.

Manager Chris said he loves these buns. Perfect for hamburgers, and we have hot dog buns also. Frozen, so they are good anytime you are ready for a cookout.

I have Rockstar Focus 12-packs. Unbelievable.
