Raw marinated carnitas or raw marinated bbq in the meat section is excellent. Many threads on arfcom about these meat packages. If you have a ninja foodi pressure cooker or crock pot these are excellent.

They are the only grocery store near me that carries chicken breasts on the bone for grilling. I eat them at least once or twice a week. It just tastes better than boneless/skinless breast meat, to me.

The one by me sells steelhead trout fillets.  If you like salmon you'll like it.  I like it better than a lot of salmon I've had.

Lemon pepper, wrap in parchment paper, cook on a cast iron skillet to 160.  The parchment keeps the moisture in and your house doesn't smell as much like fish.

Makes sense. Steelhead is just rainbow trout that have become able to be in the sea for part of their lives. Once they are big enough they go from eating whatever drifts by in the river they spawned in to eating ocean swimming eating fish and swimming long long distances.

In 2013 they got a batch of it for their frozen lasagna from a supplier in France.  They pulled it.  France, canada, and many other countries eat it.  It was miss labeled.

Their half-sour whole pickles in the refrigerated deli section are about the crispest, tastiest pickle I can get locally. I don’t know if they’re actually fermented, but if not, it’s as close as I’ve seen without being the real thing. More brine and less vinegar flavor.

As an aside, Jimmy Johns used to have an excellent pickle, but they’ve changed their supplier and now it’s a mushy, overly vinegar’d mess.

Dry Italian salami in 16 ounce packs. Also the spicy dry salami, which is well seasoned but not hot.
Appleton farms roll sausage, cooks up like Jimmy Dean sausage at a better price.

Sparkling lemonade in 750 ml flip top bottles for $2.99. Good lemonade, and the bottles get reused for secondary purposes like for home brew beer.

To each their own, but you are wrong on prices.  Take eggs, Aldi .89 Kroger 1.29 and that is about the difference in price in most other things.
