Bingo 5towns

[WonderingYid]

GG joined that union in October after many years of resistance. I can only postulate it was to have powerful backers to get ahead of Bingo's opening.
The protests are a terrible look for GG - protestors handing out flyers saying "come to us, we take care of our employees, dont go to Bingo, all they have is cheap prices!". I am rooting for their downfall. Evil people taking advantage of a community for far too long. 

ETA the flyer:

Scum. (Referring to the people who printed the flyer).

This isn't such a great price

[Cheesecake]

They sent out today-only Flash Sales, I don't think I've ever seen them do that before.

Where did they send it out?

Your looking at their "Prime" to one with white tray. For that, the price is good. If you want to save money, look at the black trays. (I think they were black). The non-prime line.

Not sure of quality, but that's the cheapest local price for cowboy steak:
GG $30.99
Kol Save $26.99 (often on sale for $22.99, but quality is meh)
Adam's $29.99
Carving Block $32.99
Bingo $25.99

Kolsave uses imported beef which is equal to the lower end at Bingo, not the "prime".

GG used different companies, but at times uses Birdsboro, which is same as Bingo. Not regularly, but sometimes..

Noticed that you just recently joined forums and all you have done is bash gg/kolsave. I think it’s a safe assumption that you work for bingo

Meat maven is not on the list. They have this for much cheaper.
So 2 stores have this cut of meat for cheaper. And also I can’t remember gg using birds boro meat ( I ask each time which meat for Kashrus reasons)

You can't compare imported to domestic meat.
Although, kineret is not on the list and supposedly they are the cheapest domestic meat in town. (I never shopped there personally)


ETA: there is also that new butcher in the same parking lot as laffa bar

Def a resident of the 5 towns...
Not sure your accusation is accurate.

Meat Maven is all imported. Almost all Agri.

Rarely GG has used Birdsboro. But since they started using Mehadrin, it is very rare.

Or I just live in the Five Towns and have been very frustrated for the past 10 years being held hostage to ridiculous prices.

GG is under Mehadrin?

[syp]

GG is under Mehadrin?

No! Woops!

Mehadrin is a beef company which is a Canadian shechita which GG and KS carries regularly. They also have their hotdogs, pastarmi and such. The beef you buy can be Mehadrin, Meal Mart, Solomons etc.. When buying fresh beef or poultry, you wouldn't know what you are getting unless you ask. GG only use North American beef. KS uses mostly imported.

On the poultry it could be a number of companies. One of them they use often is KJ (Kiryas Yoel), which is the same company Bingo uses. (Also goes under the name of Mesorah Farms)

Seasons uses strictly Meal Mart (Allie) beef. KJ for the poultry.

Bingo is Birdsboro on the beef, two different tiers from different places. Mesorah (owned by KJ) for the poultry. Both happen to be very mehudar products.

You're allowed to be frustrated.

I haven't read your posts, but someone mentioned bashing them, So I want to say something about that, but I'm not necessarily saying it davka about you.

Even if someone is frustrated, they are not allowed to bash them, especially in a public forum. It's pure lashon hora (clearly does not meet the Chofetz Chaim's criteria for toeles for several reasons, including the fact that it can't be out of negative feelings) and the fact that there are are probably hundreds of people reading these posts makes it worse.

I don't know if you see a certain Rav's halacha WhatsApp status posts, but he has been posting recently about the topic.
