Out of desperation for Shabbos, I ran to Stop & Shop today with my raincheck for Kedem Grape Juice, since they had run out of stock on that blissfully low $2.99 price right before Rosh Hashana. I had tucked it in my wallet right next to my precious family photo, for three whole months. I showed up to Stop and Shop, ready to wreak havoc on their Kedem supply, since the standard price for a 64 oz bottle is about $4.99+, depending on how much a retailer wants to get you for. Sidebar, if you live in Denver, apparently you can't get Kedem grape juice under six bucks unless you special order it through Cheapskate and her shipping contact.
I got to the beverage aisle and found that Kedem is actually on sale now (at least in the NY Metro area and suburbs) until 1/6/11 for $2.99, with NO limits on how many you can buy. In my experience, I've only seen this sale in a supermarket around Rosh Hashana and then again at Passover. I can't believe I missed this in their weekly ad, but other than that, I am happy to tuck my raincheck back into my wallet for another rainy day. I now have enough grape juice inventory to sell to Cheapskate at a cushy little profit;)
SS, 1) sure it's three bucks in the NY metro area, but try shipping it to Colorado and you'll end up paying another two bucks a bottle, and 2) believe me, I'm not going into the grocery business. That was a one-time purchase, hopefully never to be repeated.
