It’s summertime at the Jersey Shore and I’m dedicated to finding the freshest items at budget prices. With school officially out, I’ve received numerous requests from island visitors and working moms who need an extra hand.
For some summer essentials, I visited Jamaican Me Crazy in Margate. Roz and Alexa have always welcomed me to shop in their store, going live for clients, taking videos, and accommodating special requests. They consistently stock the newest trending gadgets, beach chairs, and toys, boogie boards, pop-it toys, shovels, and buckets. As always, I had a great experience in the store.
Next, I headed to our local ShopRite in Somers Point. With watermelon priced at $3.88 and corn on the cob at eight ears for $2, I easily stayed within budget. I suggested Dixie paper plates to reduce dishwashing since they were on sale for $1.99 per pack—a great deal for stocking up. With the recent heat wave, I also recommended taking advantage of the Gatorade deal: three eight-packs for $19.99 in a variety of flavors, plus some coupons I had from the reps. You really can’t beat that!
A few items were out of stock, so I popped over to Target to complete the rest. July marks my fifth year in business and I am grateful for all the support. I hope to continue showing Atlantic County the best deals and prices each week.
