If you're a happenin' single guy like me, you do your grocery shopping at Grocery Outlet on Saturday night. I'll tell you what, that's a party right there.
One of the reasons I like shopping at Grocery Outlet is that it's like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates--you never know what you're gonna get. I always get to try something I've never even heard of before.
Take last Saturday night's shopping, for instance. I don't eat a lot of breakfast cereals, but I always like to have some in the house; you never know when you might need a quickie breakfast, and sometimes dry cereal is just good to graze on. I had just finished a box of cereal and needed a replacement, so there I was in the cereal aisle.
I've known there are lots of different flavors of Cheerios. When I was a kid there were two, regular Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios, but now there's a veritable smorgasbord of Cheerios flavors. But there at Grocery Outlet were two I'd never seen before: Banana Caramel Cheerios and Honey Vanilla Cheerios. Both sounded pretty good to me so I bought one of each. Tried the banana caramel flavor this morning, and it's pretty darn good! It might be several weeks until I polish off this box and try the honey vanilla flavor.
At my local Grocery Outlet, I found a display of Weetabix I first tried and enjoyed in the UK.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been able to get Weetabix locally since Trader Joes' decided a few years back to stop carrying it, and so I bought a few boxes of it.
I'll have to go back and get more...
Pseudotsuga,
ReplyDeleteHave you considered checking out World Market. I will be going there to get some Harissa sauce. I found it originally at Aldi's, but as usual never again. And they are less expensive than the other on-line place
