Janosik Food Market in Linden, NJ is running fifteen promotions at once this week — from on-site smoked cold cuts to honey, coffee, and Ptasie Mleczko. Offers are valid while supplies last, and the store is open daily, including Saturday and Sunday, from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
The legendary Janosik was famous for one thing: taking from those who had too much and giving to those who had too little. His New Jersey namesake does something similar with prices. At Janosik Food Market at 11 East Price Street in Linden, a round of fifteen promotions is currently underway — and it makes a great plan for weekend shopping before the list changes to the next one.
What is cheaper this weekend
The strongest item is imported cooked ham for $3.99 per pound — compared to the regular price of $7.99, that is exactly half off. A Robin Hood-style discount also applies to Belveder multi-flower honey: a large, 2.2-kilogram jar costs $19.99 instead of $29.99. Extra-large eggs are $2.99 a dozen, cheeses — cheddar, mozzarella, and provolone — are $5.99 a pound, and hard salami is $7.99 a pound.
In the everyday basket: Lowell dill pickles 2 jars for $5, Jacobs coffee 2 for $10, classic Inka 2 for $5, Hellmann’s mayonnaise 2 for $3, imported Polish butter 2 for $5, and Cisowianka water — six 1.5-liter bottles for $6.99. For dessert, Ptasie Mleczko for $4.99 a box and Delicje at a price that is hard to believe: 2 packs for 99 cents. The list is rounded out by Lowell canned goods for 99 cents each and canned ham for $3.99 a pound.
All offers are valid while supplies last — no end date, but also no guarantee that the discounted products will last until next week. The store replaces the entire list about every two weeks, so what is hanging on the screen in the window today is always up to date. On the other hand, that is exactly why it makes no sense to delay shopping: the most popular items from the promotional list can disappear from the shelf faster than the list itself.
Where to check the list before going
The full, current list of fifteen promotions can be seen in four places at once: on the large screen in the store window in Linden, on the janosikfoodmarket.com website, on the store’s Facebook page, and on its Google profile. There is no need to print anything out or guess — just glance at your phone before leaving the house and you immediately know what you are driving there for.
If you prefer to have the list handy, you can download the entire flyer in PDF format straight from the store’s website.
The promotion itself is only half the reason to stop by. Janosik Food Market smokes and slices cold cuts on-site, right in front of the customer — a feature that regular patrons mention first. The shelves are stocked with products brought straight from Poland and Europe: from dumplings and cheeses, through baked goods and sweets, to Polish cosmetics, herbs, and household chemicals. The store accepts EBT/SNAP, so promotional prices genuinely help the monthly shopping budget of local families.
For residents of South Amboy, Sayreville, Perth Amboy, and Woodbridge, a natural address might be the chain’s second location at 960 U.S. 9 in South Amboy — promotions apply in both stores. More about the store itself can be found in the full profile of Janosik Food Market on PolishPages.
The Linden store is open seven days a week, from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM (except for some holidays) — on Saturday and Sunday, the doors are open just like during the week. Janosik gives while he has something to give; those who come this weekend will make it before the list changes.
