BUY 1 GET 1 at 50% OFF on Grace Authentic Oxtail Marinade πŸ–πŸ”₯Yeah. We said what we said.

Because if you know what REAL Caribbean oxtail tastes like.
If you know that deep, rich, slow-cooked flavor that makes the whole house stop what they're doing and come to the kitchen, you already know you need TWO bottles.
And right now? You're basically getting the second one for FREE.
This is not a drill.
This is not a mistake. 😭
This is Man Must Wak looking out for you the way we always do. πŸ‘‘

Stock up NOW before this deal is gone.

Don't think about it too long.
Don't wait until the weekend.
Don't send this to your friend and forget to buy yours. πŸ˜‚

We are featured in an Oakland This is town business series.
# with .repost
・・・
Oakland!!! We’re pleased to announce THIS IS TOWN BUSINESS - a new campaign celebrating the small businesses that make Oakland one of the most creative, resilient, and vibrant cities anywhere.

Throughout the year, you’ll get to meet the entrepreneurs, dreamers, makers, and community builders behind businesses that help Oakland thrive. Some may be places you visit every week. Others may become your next favorite spot.

Businesses featured in the campaign were nominated by the community and selected across three categories:

✨ Legacy Businesses that have stood the test of time and helped shape Oakland’s identity

πŸš€ New Businesses bringing fresh ideas, energy, and innovation to our neighborhoods

❀️ Community Impact Businesses making a difference beyond their storefronts through leadership, service, and community investment

Starting on Small Business Saturdays, we’ll spotlight one featured business at a time and share their story, their impact, and what makes them uniquely Oakland. You will also see them featured on Becker Billboards across town.

While these businesses were selected for recognition, they represent something much bigger. Oakland is filled with entrepreneurs, artists, restaurateurs, retailers, and innovators doing incredible work every day.

Stay tuned, discover someone new, support local, and help us celebrate the businesses that keep Oakland moving forward.

Because there’s always time to be about Town Business.
Stay tuned!
