    Welcome to Mifflin County! Sharp Shoppers are great stores to visit now and then but because the stock isn't standard, it isn't possible to go there with a list. Something to keep in mind is the closest Costco to that area is Harrisburg (70 miles) or Lancaster (90 miles), so not the best option. There is an Aldi in Lewistown but it is relatively new.

    Jamerrill Stewart goes to the one in Winchester, VA. I live about an hour northeast of that one. I Shopped there once, and it definitely has great prices. My kids are all grown and out of the house, so I don't need to have as much food in my house anymore and mostly stick to Walmart and Aldi.

    I went to the one in Butler PA a year ago. It didn’t have near the bulk items you showed in your video. I wish it was closer than 4-5 hours away. I think it really depends on what you normally buy on whether or not it’s the cheapest store in America. I always try to stock up when I get to go to the Amish area in Ohio.

    I live in Southern California, in my town we have Walmart and Aldi plus a few regular grocery stores. I drive 45 minutes to an hour away for Costco and Sam’s Club. Another 30 minutes drive passed those is a Winco though great prices I’m not sure it’s worth it for the gas price and living in a desert where it gets 120 + degrees we have to pack coolers. Sometimes I find it’s worth the extra money just to shop close to home .

    • @trobinson89

      I, too, live in Southern California and find that Aldi and Winco are the more reasonable grocery markets to shop in my area. I also shop at Costco and Sam's Club. I wonder if you make a trip to Costco and Sam's during the winter months to bulk shop and stock up, would that be worth the drive?

We do have Amish bulk stores, dry goods stores, and bent and dent type stores and Mennonite run ones too a few minutes drive away. We have Aldi, Walmart, Kroger, and Sam's Club close. Costco is about an hour away.

    Oh my goodness…I love the Amish/Mennonite store near Belleville! We go through Belleville to get to our Mountain House near Raystown Lake. I did stop in at the same Sharp Shopper once or twice as we were passing through. Did you know that they are opening a brand new ALDIs in Huntington? It is located on William Penn highway in one of the shopping malls. It may be opened by now. We do our bulk buys at Sams. I also shop at Giant (mostly store brand and sales only). The Walmart in Huntington went through a store makeover on the last year. We often shop there as well.

    Thanks for your honest opinion. We drive to PA from Massachusetts 3 times a year and i full up with groceries at the small Amish stores plus thanks to you we've gone to whispering pines and l & l market twice now. I think i will stick with those. After all i need my oatmeal raisin whoopie pie fix from whispering pines 🥰
    For us a combo of local meat and shopping in PA and at Aldi work for us. We have a BJ's membership but I'm not seeing the value at much anymore except our organic milk. They are trying to add more organics though which is plus. We also do Sam's club a few times a year for nuts, toilet paper and other goodies

    For those saying she is bashing Jammerril I don't think that she is. She is more health conscious than her which is fine. She likes to source things that are not full of preservatives.

    • @TariLandar
      @TariLandar Місяць тому +2

      Whether or not she was bashing Jamerill (I agree she probably wasn't, or certainly wasn't trying to) she did make the video without any intention of actually shopping there and had no qualms putting the whole store down before even leaving. There is nothing at all wrong with different dietary desires, or even just plain not liking a store-for whatever reason(s). But she went into it with weird judgment, putting the place down before she even left and had a crappy attitude the whole time she was in there "browsing". It would've been better to get there, realize it's not for her, state that and leave (though not so great for content material I guess, lol). The judgment and offhanded commentary throughout was unnecessary. I don't think people realize the kind of impact that can have on people who do shop in stores like this, because they need to, or even just want to. "I don't buy any of this stuff, so these prices aren't good" is just weird, lol. While not showing the prices, of course, which actually ARE way lower than costco on pretty much everything (heck even walmart is, because costco isn't trying to sell things cheaper). The offhanded judgmental commentary was too much. Not really defending the store, like I said, we don't have them here, but come on now, call a spade a spade. She made a video for content sake, not to showcase a store she had no desire to shop in. She missed more than half the actual store, lol.

    I believe I am able to shop at the one that Jammeril shops at in Winchester, VA. I have been in there a few more times the problem I a that some things the dates are like next day. I don't have a huge family either so for me it just depends on the dates and you never know what will be there either so its hard to shop for a weekly trip. The prices are usually great though. We have Costco, wal mart, aldi, and Martins in the area so for sure it is one of the cheaper option for cost effectiveness. As far as her going in as a preconceived notion she wouldn't like it. That is her opinion. Yoneqch their own.

    I think you touched on a couple of things that would stop me from going to these stores. 1. An hour drive to our Costco or Sam’s is not worth it to me. I stick to my local Amish bulk and discount stores. I shop at a VERY SMALL Kroger. 2. I do not go to Walmart or any type of superstores. It can tempt me to buy things I really don’t need. The prices may be cheaper on a few items but if I buy things such as clothing or decorative items then I’ve blown my budget. 3. I agree for people that don’t have discounted stores the prices at sharp shopper are fantastic, especially in VA where Jamerrill is located. (We have family there). It would have been interesting to see how your store compares to the VA store. Thanks for sharing!! We are from northern Indiana which has Amish stores just about on every corner. ❤

    It's a little odd that you went there with the intent to not like it, it's pretty obvious in your tone even before you got there at the beginning of the video. Of course, it's not a store for everyone and opinions on things will vary. There's nothing at all wrong with not liking a store, either. Individual locations also vary (we don't have one here, either but I have been to them). That said comparing it to costco is pretty stupid, because even in bulk, costco is absolutely more expensive (plus, you need a membership, another cost to add in, even if only paid once a year) for most *food items. The toilet paper you compared it to, is not the same brand, which changes the cost. If you compared brand to brand, costsco costs more for that brand (assuming your costco carries it and not all do). If you don't care about brands, costco can be much cheaper on household goods that are easy to stock up on. Unless you absolutely need bulk food in every food item, costco isn't cheaper on food than any other store, even Walmart has better price per..on foods than costco does. Costco isn't budget friendly for most, but it's not intended to be, either. I'm not sure you really gave the place a fair shake, you went in not wanting to buy anything, clearly already not liking the idea of the place and it shows in your whole video. "I don't need this, so I don't even know if the prices are good" is a pretty crappy attitude. For people who actually need to save money, places like sharp shopper, discount grocery outlets, aldi, save a lot, etc.. are godsends. For people who don't actually need to save money, it's easy to be judgmental when shopping at places like costco is readily available to you.

      Comparing Sharp Shopper to Costco is just plain stupid and ignorant....if Adaline has a problem with Jamerill, she should sort it out with her privately rather than this covert type of BS video. The VA sharp shoppers have more varieties than the PA ones and for a grocery outlet store like Sharp Shopper, you never know what's in stock or what's not in stock. Some people need places like Sharp Shopper to survive because they cannot afford the likes of Costco.
      Even the title of the video comes off as if Adaline is out to prove Jameril wrong. It's sad and hard to watch this video especially knowing Adaline created and published it.
