At ShopRite's pre-Can Can Sale, avoid Colonna sauce with corn syrup

Three 24-bottle packs of Poland Spring Water are only $9 with a Super Coupon from the ShopRite flier, as long as you spend $10 on other items and have a store card.

ShopRite's Can Can Sale isn't as great as it used to be, so now the supermarket chain has come up with a "Can't Can't Wait" promotion to entice shoppers.

At the ShopRite in Paramus on Tuesday, I used a Super Coupon from the store flier to buy three 24-bottle packs of Poland Spring Water for $9.

That's about what I'd pay per 16.9-ounce bottle at Costco Wholesale in Teterboro.

And a 5-pound box of clementines from Spain or Morocco was only $3.99, a discount of $2.

I also picked up three half-gallons of ShopRite 1% Lactose Free Milk for $2.99 each, the regular price.

The Paramus ShopRite is at 224 Route 4 east.

A 5-pound boxes of Roxy Clementines from Spain, as well as others from Morocco, was $3.99 with a store card.

If you buy 10 jars of Colonna Pasta Sauce, you'll pay only 77 cents each. But the Traditional Pasta Sauce, above, contains high-fructose corn syrup, an ingredient you don't need.

Colonna Vodka Sauce is made with lots of artery clogging heavy cream. Victoria Vodka Sauce, which is not on sale, contains no cream.

A breakfast of Organic Eggs Marinara served over Organic Whole Wheat Penne with Salted Codfish and Black Olives, below. All of the ingredients are available from ShopRite.

I used Victoria Marinara (no added sugar), adding a few ounces of red wine, a can of drained and rinsed anchovies, and extra-virgin olive oil. The Luigi Vitelli-brand Organic Whole Wheat Penne from Italy is available at ShopRite for $1.25 (1-pound package).
