ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Grocery stores are gearing up for Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to Progressive Grocer, 69% of Americans are expected to tune in to the big game.<\/p>\n
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are the biggest shopping days, second to Thanksgiving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The displays are out along with all the deals and steals at Redner’s in Allentown.<\/p>\n
“I’m going to have a few of the guys over,” said Manny Carrera of Allentown. He’s stocking up on his Super Bowl staples.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I’m going to grab a couple of frozen pizzas, some peach iced tea and some tacos with the cheese,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He may not have stakes in the game, but he watches every year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Unfortunately, I was born and raised in New York, and Boston, we don’t like Boston so I’m going for Seahawks,” Carrera said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julio Rodriguez is knocking out half of his shopping list on Thursday, and the rest closer to the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Buffalo wings, chips with dips and of course beer,” Rodriguez said.\u00a0“I’m going to have to root for the Patriots because I’m a Buffalo Bill fan.”<\/p>\n
Robert Check is dreaming of wings…<\/p>\n
“Chicken wings with the buffalo sauce,” Check said. He plans to finish his shopping this weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In an analysis from Wells Fargo, consumers may notice a flip flop in prices on Super Bowl staples this year. Wings are up by 7%, veggies are down by 7%, avocados and guacamole dip are up 11.5%, and shrimp are down by 4%, with most customers spending an average of $139 per 10 people.<\/p>\n
If you’re looking to beat the crowds, Thursday and Friday are the best days to shop for the Super Bowl. Saturday, one employee tells us, will be pandemonium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Grocery stores are gearing up for Sunday.\u00a0 According to Progressive Grocer, 69% of Americans are…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":106424,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[214,232,153,155,154],"class_list":["post-106423","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-_homepage_top_stories","tag-allentown-area","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
