For nearly half a century, grocery shoppers have been kicking up their heels for bargains during ShopRite’s Can Can Sale.
The twice-yearly sale’s still on. But the cartoon can can dancers are out of the spotlight. The dancers went missing during the summer sale in July, when real-life ShopRite employees were front and center in the grocer’s ad campaign. A company spokeswoman says the saucy dancers have been canned before but always make a comeback.
Could this be related to Moi Aussi? (That’s Me Too in French.)
This week’s circular shows a dancer demurely peaking out from behind a promotion for Progresso Soup, priced at 10 for $10. (Yes, you must take home 10 cans to get the deal.)
Canny shoppers will find lots of other deals, including 12 cans of Tutorosso tomatoes at 69 cents per can, 59 cents for a one-pound box of Ronzoni pasta and 40 percent off Tyson chicken.
