Our town boasts three grocery stores – Extra Foods, Coop Marketplace and Close’s Foods. I could add Walmart but that’s like saying a putter is a full set of clubs!
Today we hit all the stores. There is a banquet Jill will cater for our seniors’ group on December 13th. Then a Christmas program on December 18th with a full meal deal to follow. And our home pantry needed restocked.
We began before 10:00 am and were home after noon. The deals had all been scanned in the flyers. Needed ingredients were listed. And add to that, shelves were still being stocked. Two of the four stores we asked floor personnel to find us goods that were not yet shelved.
Now, I like shopping with my wife. She finds it a bit difficult because I tend to add one or two more items than are on the list. She cares what we buy, I carry what she cares for, and in the end we care that those we feed will enjoy their culinary treat.
Hope to see some of you over these next few weeks. Enjoy the food!!
