Yes Kingston was a secondary Topco brand-Fry’s in AZ sold it as their private label even a few years after the Kroger/Dillon merger, and so did Smith’sTW-Upstate NY wrote: ↑June 9th, 2020, 11:18 amI recall that Giant Markets in the Scranton, Pa. area in the mid 70's or so introduced something called the Kingston brand with great fanfare. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that too a Topco brand?
I've found a couple Sprouts items at Safeway lately in frozen no less; one was bagged fruit and the other was some kind of ice cream type product (Moochi or something). I'm not sure if this is an error on the manufacturer side or what. But the best one this week was seeing some O Organics product at Wal Mart right on the shelf, again this was in frozen. I almost took one to see what would happen if I tried to buy it (there was no price label)... but decided not to.
Was there a lot of the O Organic product? I've seen instances in the past of a one-off item at Walmart (e.g. a bottle of Meijer-branded vitamins) that I suspect is a derivative of somebody convincing customer service to accept it as a return. My local Kohl's has numerous J Ferrar products right now... definitely a rouge return!storewanderer wrote: ↑November 7th, 2020, 7:43 pmI've found a couple Sprouts items at Safeway lately in frozen no less; one was bagged fruit and the other was some kind of ice cream type product (Moochi or something).

- But seriously, could it be something ordered online (weren't they doing returns for one of the online companies now?)?Yes, there were 10-12 packages in perfect condition of whatever it was taking up two rows on the shelf. Did not look to be a rogue return.Bagels wrote: ↑November 8th, 2020, 11:21 am

Not sure why you're being teased about the 'rogue' return. Isn't J Ferrar a JCPenney house label? Oh customers. :-\Bagels wrote: ↑November 8th, 2020, 11:21 amWas there a lot of the O Organic product?

was about the fact that the original post says rouge (French for red), rather than rogue (which is what it was supposed to be). Just one of those typing slipups that winds up making it something entirely different than was intended.
