Grocery Stores and Farmer Markets

[wease]

I went over to Lowe’s today to scope out water heaters, so I hit up the grocery store next door for a few items. This is in a more densely populated and lower property value part of town, and it was like Thunderdome in there. People cutting you off, Instacart shoppers pulling around two carts and blocking flow, shelf stockers blocking entire aisles with inventory. Never again.

Slumming with the peasants is really a drag, huh?

still have only been to TJ's like 3 times ever. there is one where i live, but it's a solid 25 minute drive one way. although there's a solid liquor store near it so maybe i should kill 2 birds with one stone. i have no idea what to get there (TJ's)

when we were visiting our friends in Seattle a couple of months ago, they had these. I don't know that I've ever seen them at our TJs, but I'm also hyperfocused on what we typically get - artichoke dip, a few bottles of wine...but these were a nice little snack. I've not been to ours since we've been back to see if they carry them, but now I've got a nice reminder to go this weekend.
