Another Retro Shoppers Food Commercial (+Bonus!)

Well, this place is up and running again, hopefully with all the promises kept from now on. I would, however take time to apologize for the unfinished posts I published back in October, since these were rushed to meet the deadline. I would take time to complete all five posts in a flash, and keep them as a "gallery" of posts rather than a constant news feed.
What we do have here for all of us today, however, is another Shoppers commercial that had been unearthed and now presented to the forefront on the blog. Plus, we even have a bonus below, so simply scroll down. Got it?
Dated from 1985, this commercial is basesd on interviews of Shoppers customers and a spokesperson repeating the claims afterwards. While still having a similar logo as later, the font is slightly different than the other logos, and has a somewhat different background.

Throwing an extra goody into the bag today, a WRC-TV (NBC's Washington, D.C. affiliate on channel 4) compilation of ads from 1987 shows another classic Shoppers Food Warehouse commercial at the 8:33 mark. The commercial has the same background tune as the previously shared 1991 commercials, and shows the usual weekly prices. Also to note, there are commercials from rivaling Giant Food and many other retail and food brands.

To sum today's edition of the Shoppers Food Blog up, I'm hoping these two vintage commercials show an out-of-the-ordinary side of the retailer for all of us. More commercials to come soon, so stay tuned.
