Over the past year or so, we have been offering a few hot case selections in our Deli on Sundays. It seems to have been well received. It has caused us to wonder if perhaps our customers would like a wider or different selection of food dishes on Sundays.

If you have any ideas of foods you’d like to see, we would happily accept your suggestions. You can leave a comment on our blog, give us a call (985-8520), or drop by the store and let us know.

Thanks a lot!

Due to both greatly dwindling demand as well as moral motivations, our store has decided to discontinue the sale of tobacco products. We have already received much support of this decision from both our customers and employees. We thank you in advance for your understanding.

It’s that time of year again! You know what the best time of the school day is? That’s right, lunch! Make sure you send your child back to the cafeteria with the right gear. We have all sorts of stylish and unique lunch boxes in our gift department, with styles and variations to match any personality or budget.

Our gift department also has a wide selection of water bottles from a variety of popular companies. Send your kid to school with a healthy drink so they don’t guzzle too much soda!

You may have noticed that our front walkway is in a slight state of chaos. We are in the process of having a completely new front walk built. The old one was getting a little, well, crumbly, ya know?

We thank you in advance for your patience at our front end. It should all be done in a few days. Thanks again!

If you are a fan of Equal Exchange coffee, then you should check out the recent redesign of their packaging. It’s more compact but still holds the same amount of coffee. On top of that, they’ve reduced (yea, reduced!) their prices to a new, Every Day Low Price cost of $5.79 ($7.19 for decaf)! New design and lower price? You can’t go wrong!

There is an exciting opportunity for you wine lovers out there! Now is your chance to save a bunch of money on a case of wine.

We are currently running sales on dozens of 2009 Bordeaux wines at deep discounts. Money saved ranges from $6 to $15 per bottle!

These sales only apply to full case orders. Contact Justin or Chris at the store to inquire about pricing or to place an order. Delivery will occur in early October.

There will also be a full listing of sales options posted in our Wine Department here at the store.

Have you been enjoying Steve’s Friday grillings? Well, you better be sure to stop by tomorrow, July 30th, because it is going to be the last one of the season!

“Chef” (note the quotation marks) Steve will be grilling up Laplatte River Angus Sliders and McKenzie Hot Dogs. Even he can’t screw that up, right?

Grilling will commence around noontime and go until 1:30ish. Hope to see you there!

For the time span of January 1 through July 27, when compared to the same span in 2009, we have seen an increase in use of reusable shopping bags of over 66%!

At this point last year, we had given credit for the use of 34,422 reusable bags. So far in 2010 we have already reached 57,431. That’s already over twenty-three thousand more bags!

Of course, all of the credit for this goes to our customers for supporting us in our venture to create less and less waste in our business.

If you’re short on reusable bags, we have plenty of different styles available here in the store. We also just received a new delivery of ChicoBags. They’re great for grocery shopping, or for any other bag use you can think of!

Thanks again!

It’s been a busy Summer around the store so far. So busy, in fact, that I realized I’ve been greatly neglecting the blog! Here are some things of which you should be aware!

The local produce is in full swing! Brigante’s has been delivering fresh green beans, zucchini, and summer squash daily.

We’ve been receiving fresh blueberries from Paul Mazza’s and Pelky’s, as well as Adam’s Berry Farm. They’re perfect for putting in your muffins, pancakes, or just eating them out of the tub.

Delicious local corn has been coming in from Paul Mazza’s daily and the much-anticipated Brigante’s corn will be here in just a week or two.

It’s a great time to be enjoying all the fruits (and vegetables) of our local labor. Don’t miss out!

Ladies and gentlemen,

This weekend’s weather forecast is calling for 80’s and sun!  Stock up on your provisions here at Shelburne Supermarket.  We have fresh deli salads, cold beverages and the best meat around.  We hope to see you this weekend!Â
