OT- Shoprite peaches are only .97 / lbs. But the old ladies touched all of them.

[Extra Point]

Why the hell do the old people touch 50 peaches before selecting one? The peaches are all the same. Take the number of them that you want and don't dig to the bottom of the box to find a golden peach. It doesn't exist they are all the same. And the old people also take an hour to get 3 peaches.

Go touch their peaches, it might make them stop....or they might like it.

Are you kidding. At least by me (in MD) Shoprite is a low end grocery store, and one of their trademarks is being VERY hit or miss with produce. Definitely want to check to see which ones are good and which ones are soft.

 

[FanuSanu52]

OP, why don't you buy all the garbage fruit since it makes no difference to you. Then it'll be all perfect peaches for the silver hairs and they won't have to squueze yours.

 

[RU4Real]

Meh... Joke's on them. You can't tell a good peach by touching it with your hands.

I rub all of them on my balls.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

You're the cutest thing
That I ever did see
I really love your peaches
Want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Ooo-eee baby, I'll sure show you a good time

 

[beaced]

Try washing them before you eat them.

 

[rurichdog]

Wait a few weeks and buy the best peaches you'll find from the farmers market. ShopRite peaches are picked before they are even ripe, and ripen artificially at the distribution center.

 

[bac2therac]

this is a pet peeve of mine at grocery stores...women digging their nails into peppers, peaches, plums, or any other soft fruit or vegetable next tme you go take a close look and you will see what I am talking about. Its disgusting really that they have to do that

The Shoprite peaches that are on sale are low quality, they are small and hard so RU4Real will bust his balls on them. God knows he busts my balls enough times. Hopefully they ripen and are sweet and juicy (not RU4Reals balls, my peaches) in a couple of days.

They aren't keeping the vegetables they maul so they don't care about the next shopper. I didn't know they did that I will check that out next time. I will scold anyone I see making nail holes to test if a fruit is any good.

 

[Piscataway]

I smell the peaches...not balls

 

[RUJohnny99]

Do you think the farmworkers wear white gloves when they're picking these things off the trees?

 

[MrsScrew]

Do you think the farmworkers wear white gloves when they're picking these things off the trees?

Or do you think the ShopRite employee who is stacking all those fruits & veggies in that nice pyramid in the display case wore white gloves? Or even washed his hands after going to the bathroom before he started stacking?

I hardly ever buy produce at SR. Too expensive. I go to the farmer's market. Not only is it cheaper but the quality tends to be better. This is true for most FMs, not all.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

farmer's markets are the best!

 

[76Scarlet]

I've seen old, young, middle age folk touch produce. You can definitely get a better sense of ripeness thru touch and they are definitely not all the same. Don't you rinse the stuff before eating? Give me a break. You're not gonna die.

I dig those Georgia peaches, makes me feel right at home...

I go to multiple farmers markets (West Windsor on Saturdays, Robbinsville on Tuesdays) and I belong to a weekly CSA (community supported agriculture) at a local farm in Robbinsville where I pick up my share of whatever the farmer has picked that morning. I buy my beef from a beef farm in Mount Holly and I get chicken from the Griggstown Farm stand at the WW farmers market where they kill the chicken on Thursday, pluck it on Friday and sell it to me fresh on Saturday.

I'd much rather pay for the quality of my food then eat the junk that the supermarkets try to pass off as "fresh". It is amazing how different farm fresh fruits, veggies, eggs, and meat tastes when it is fresh. Even Mr.Screw, the king of Taco Bell can taste the difference.

Last year I taught myself how to can so I can save as much of the fresh food as possible for consumption during the winter.

 

[RU4Real]

"Beef farm"?

That's almost as bad as my ball peaches.

cow farm? cattle for beef farm?

whatever you'd like to call it it's way better than the stuff from Shoprite....and they don't sell London Broil.

There is also an Amish Market in Princeton which is suppose to be really good. I haven't been there.

There are Farmer's markets all over Central Jersey. Even Rutgers has one

Reminds me of the song by PUSA:


Movin' to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches,
I'm movin to the country, gonna eat me a lot of peaches,
Movin to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches,
Movin to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches.

Peaches come, from a can,
They were put there by a man,
In a factory downtown.
And if I had my little way, Id eat peaches everyday,
Some suckin' bulgers in the shade.

Movin to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches,
Movin to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches,
Movin to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches,
Movin to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches.

I took a little nap on a root so twist,
Squished your rotten peach in my fist,
And dreamed about you, woman
I shoved my finger down inside, made a little room for a hand to hide,
Nature's candy in my hand or can, or pie.

Millions of peaches, peaches for me,
Millions of peaches, peaches for free,

there is an Amish Market on Route 27 in the Princeton/Kingston area.

There is also a large Amish presence in the Trenton Farmers market along with other local farms. The bonus of the Trenton market is that it is in the same center as Halo Pub Farms.

Bordentown has a farmers market every Wednesday.

and don't forget all those roadside stands. there is one on Route 33 in Millstone where you can buy an entire full grown basil plant in the summer for $3.00. Hello pesto!

In some cases -- yes, FM is no bargain. The two I use -- Sayreville on Rt 9 behind the Burger King and Middlesex on Rt 28 -- are the best and are way cheaper than the SR everyday price. I think the same ppl own both because the handwriting on the signs and prices are the same. I've been to other FM where there's hardly any difference in price and the produce looks old. The asian supermarkets come to mind although technically not a farmer's market

When I lived in So. Brunswick we used to hit that Amish market every weekend. THey are only open Thurs/Fri/Sat but they have great stuff. The butcher shop, produce are all exceptional and reasonably priced. They also have THE BEST soft pretzels I have ever eaten.

Don't forget to stock up on watermelon. I am going to buy 40 of them , then take the bus back home.

ShopRite is awful.

I try to get produce at either Wegman's, the New Brunswick co-op, or the Farmer's Markets in Robbinsville, Trenton, and Bordentown.
