The Storybook Wedding of Your Dreams

I love well-placed ads. I would definitely cater my own wedding.

Back in Brooklyn

I would trade 3 of the 5 grocery stores within 4 blocks of my apartment for 1 Aldi. I miss it.

Anyway, I am shopping for 2 parties. A funeral and a New Years Eve Party.

Grapefruits are half the price of oranges at Associated, 4 for $3 vs 2 for $3.

Nowhere has bags of chicken quarters like I want to make cold jerk chicken (the 3 words that describe me best).

Nowhere has blocks of cheese for cheap that I need for my cheese balls.

It's too cold (22 degrees) to travel to the distant stores. But I'll check just in case.

Oysters aren't even on sale at Food Bazaar. Clams are though. ($4.99/doz)

In Praise of Shopping While Hungry

If you don't go shopping when you're hungry, you'll never let yourself buy $22 of anchovies. There are probably people who don't want to know how to allow themselves to buy $22 of anchovies, but they don't read this blog.

White ones: $10 for 150g. Other ones: $12 for 140g. (Both weights drained). That surprises me. I've never seen marinated anchovies in a jar before, but I thought they'd be more expensive than standard ones.
