The horror of grocery shopping

[vsp]

Well, you don't want the ants getting on your roast beef, do you?

Followup report, nine months later:

* Clemens did pleasantly surprise me the other day by having wide-mouth Mason jars at one of their local outlets (three guesses who got a FoodSaver for Xmas). That saved me a trip down to KitchenEtc. in Delaware.

* Zagara's of Glen Mills -- RIP, which is a big bummer. They weren't the cheapest on anything, but they had a pretty eclectic selection, and were the only game in town for Jones Soda and Chile Today-Hot Tamale products. (Now I'll have to mail order the latter, as I'm not driving into New Jersey for groceries without a court order.)

* Trader Joe's picked up and then dropped my Spiced Apple brew. Feh! I've only bought one house-brand item that disappointed me there, however (their Jalapeno Pepper hot sauce, which was tasteless; their Tena Pepper sauce rocks). I bought a ton of stuff from there the other night.
