School is back. Schedules are packed. Soccer practice, homework, work, errands, traffic… and somehow everyone still expects dinner. 😂

Good news: we’ve got dinner covered.

Our Prepared Foods crew is putting out 500+ freshly made meals EVERY DAY — all made right here in-house. No mystery factory dinners. No sad frozen meals pretending to be dinner. Just real food, cooked and ready to make your busy life a whole lot easier.

We’ve got 3 actual chefs making it happen… plus Jr. 🤣

Now, before Jr. gets a big head — he is NOT a chef. He runs the department, but somewhere along the way he decided that gave him chef status. Nobody has had the heart to tell him otherwise. 😂

With school back and life moving at 100 mph, grab a healthy, homemade dinner and save yourself the time, dishes, and “What the hell are we having for dinner?” conversation.

500+ meals a day. Made in-house. Ready when you are.

Because sometimes the healthiest thing you can do for yourself is admit you’re too damn busy to cook. 😉

🍂🎃 OUT WITH SUMMER. IN WITH FALL. 🎃🍂

You can officially feel the change happening around here!

The watermelons are dwindling down to a small amount, while pallets of pumpkins are rolling in like they own the place. 😂

And it’s not just the produce changing… the FOOD is changing! 🍎🥧🥣🍩

The soups are back, the bakery is cranking out apple c***r and pumpkin donuts, fall flavors are taking over, and pretty soon we’re going to pretend we weren’t just complaining about how hot it was two weeks ago. 😂

Summer produce is heading out. Fall flavors are moving in.

And honestly… we’re VERY okay with it. 🍂🎃❤️

Just like their dad and grandfather taught them! Quality is our top priority! ❤️

A Wolcott grocery store has been fielding questions about where its beef comes from following a multi-state recall of certain beef from Argentina that was not inspected in the United States.

🚨 LET’S TALK BEEF. 🥩

We’ve had quite a few customers asking if Pat’s IGA is receiving the Argentine beef that’s been making headlines.

The answer is NO. And we want to make that crystal clear.

We purchase our beef through Bozzuto’s and NebraskaLand, and neither of those companies is willing to lower their standards and bring in beef that doesn’t meet the standards they require. Neither are we.

Our warehouses are NOT supplying us with this beef, and we will not be changing where or how we source our meat just to save a few bucks.

We’ve spent decades building our reputation around quality meat, our own cutters, our own grinding, and knowing exactly what we’re putting in our cases. That’s not something we’re willing to compromise.

So when you shop our meat department, you can feel confident knowing that we are NOT receiving this Argentine beef, and neither are our warehouses.

We’ll keep doing things the way we’ve always done them: buy quality, cut it ourselves, and never sacrifice our standards for a cheaper option.

Because when it comes to the meat we feed our families and yours… cheap isn’t the goal. Quality is. 🥩

🍂 GREEN DAY GUY… WE NEED TO TALK. 😂

You’ve got it all wrong.

September is the BEST month to be awake! 😎🍁

The air gets cooler, football is back, hoodies come out, and we officially enter FULL FALL MODE here at Pat’s! 🎃🍎

And apparently the bakery didn’t get the memo to wait because APPLE C***R DONUTS & PUMPKIN DONUTS ARE ALREADY HERE! 🍎🎃🍩

So while Green Day is over there telling everyone to “wake me up when September ends”…

WE’RE OVER HERE LIKE: WAKE UP! SEPTEMBER JUST STARTED! 😂

Fall has entered the building, and honestly… we’re not mad about it. 🍂🍩🎃

🍲 SOUPS ARE BACK, BABY! 🍲

And you know what that means… Chef John is officially in his happy place. 😂

Every single soup we sell is made right here in-house by Chef John — no mystery buckets, no “just add water,” and definitely no soup coming off a truck. 👀

This guy lives for soup season. Give him a pot, some ingredients, and a cold day and he’s basically the happiest man alive. 😂

Made from scratch. Made in-house. Made with the good stuff. ❤️

Stop in and grab a container before Chef John realizes how much soup he has to make. 😂🥣

🍲 THE CROCK POT IS ABOUT TO BECOME YOUR FAVORITE EMPLOYEE. 😂

We’re kicking off our Crock Pot Meals and, honestly, we’ve made these so easy that your crock pot is doing more work than you are.

Each meal comes with EVERYTHING you need to feed 4–5 people—all seasoned, raw, and packed together in one bag.

Your instructions are basically:

1. Open bag.
2. Dump bag into crock pot.
3. Turn crock pot on.
4. Pretend you’ve been cooking all day. 😂

That’s it. No chopping. No measuring. No prep. No pile of dishes in the sink judging you.

We’re starting with:

🍗 Chicken Cacciatore
🇮🇹 Italian-Style Balsamic Chicken
🔥 BBQ Chicken
🌶️ Buffalo Chicken

Everything is seasoned and ready to go RAW—you simply pour the contents into your crock pot and let that little countertop hero handle the rest.

Dinner for 4–5 people with approximately 30 seconds of effort.

Finally, a meal plan for people whose cooking technique is “turn it on and hope for the best.” 😂🍲
