Today was the first day I ventured outside since last Saturday. I've been under the weather, have had no desire to drive and actually had no reason to leave. Being sick, I cancelled (and had to reschedule) my physical therapy appointments. But today I had to go out; I needed to get my medications refilled for my vertigo and nausea. If not for that, I would have still been hibernating.
As I waited for my prescriptions to be refilled, I strolled through the store just wandering aimlessly with no purchases in mind; but I did come across a few things I wanted to share.
Above are two of my favorite places to wander when I do go into the grocery store. The cheese and hors d'oeuvre area. Cheese galore... dips and sauces for every taste. Guacamole, salsas and more. I love looking at the cheeses and sometimes I even buy a small package or two just to try.
I NEVER walk past the clearance shelves throughout the store.You just never know what you may miss. This store has multiple clearance shelf areas. This one is in the home section (kitchen area) and I have found some great deals here. I even stop at the clearance shelves in the grocery area just to see what's going on.
I didn't find any exceptional deals or little goodies I would have liked to have added to my kitchen utensil supply today, so I kept on going.
Nothing at the grocery clearance area unless I wanted to buy a reduced bottle of wine for just over $40!
Oh heck no!
Unusual & Local Items
Some homemade honey did make it into my cart today.I can never have enough on hand especially in the winter time to add to my herbal teas. I've never tried this particular brand so I'm excited to see how it is. I'm not too partial to one brand; just as long as it's locally made and (pure)organic.
And what are "Handcrafted Coconut Lavender Almonds"? Intrigued... well, I was! I may have to buy these on one of my future visits. I almost did today, but they were a little pricey and I only had so much cash with me.
Has anyone ever tried these? I'm curious as to how strong the lavender taste is? I like lavender, but too much can be overwhelming.
