At ShopRite, customers can get canned in a way that does not include a pink slip — unless you are thinking of a frilly undergarment and not a notice that your services are no longer needed.
The grocer’s iconic Can Can Sale runs for the next two weeks. In the beginning, 41 years ago, ShopRite rolled out the sale to hype its private label products. It’s been such a big hit, today many national brands are included, as well.
Shoppers also can get Can Canned by clicking on an image of a dancer and superimposing their own picture on her head. What a kick!
During the sale, ShopRite customers can save on summer faves, picnic fare and staples for the barbecue. Think canned corn! ShopRite also is bringing back popular picks from the winter sale, including coffee, canned tomatoes and olive oil.
The company estimates it has sold more than 3 billion cans over the sale’s history. That includes nearly 100 million bottled and canned beverages, 5 million cans of tomatoes, 5 million cans of vegetables and millions of cans of tuna.
