I stopped in at Jewel for a loaf of bread (made a huge batch of tuna salad) and PITA and I just happened to walk by the freezer endcaps – entire shelf of Shoppers Value frozen fish! We’re talking salmon, flounder and pollock, all for 50¢ a 4 oz vacuum-sealed package. That’s $2 a pound for salmon! Naturally I took all the salmon, lots of the flounder and I’ll hit them back up tomorrow for more. Check you own stores ’cause if there’s a cheaper stock-up price for frozen fish at present, I don’t know about it. We’ll use these for fish tacos, for salmon sautéed in butter with capers, for salmon sautéed in butter with smoked paprika…lots of possibilities.

The Dark Side of Couponing
Jewel at 63rd/Main in D.G. has them regular price 🙁
This is one of the few times I’d recommend talking with the meat mgr (that’s who handles the frozen fish) about reducing them, based on the Lisle location and here’s why: Shopper’s Value was introduced as an entry-level shopping brand to attract Aldi, Target, Walmart, etc. shoppers. Obviously we see how well that panned out! So my thinking is that the new owners are trying to dump all the SV products. It doesn’t hurt to ask (bring your phone with my post).
