Christmas Crunch
Drew, Star, and I went shopping today at the Sars Market. This market is the most wonderful supermarket that I have ever visited. There is no other supermaket where you can find a 29 cent box of cereal. This dirt cheap cereal just happens to be Christmas Crunch (a seasonal Captain Crunch variation) available in the middle of June. Even better was the fact that the cereal had not passed its June 4th expiration date. I have yet to try it, but I'm sure that when I do it will be worth all the 29 cents that I paid. (that adds up to a fraction of a cent per spoon full) During today's shopping experience I only paid more than $1 for 4 items, and of those 4 items, the most expensive was 5 dozen eggs for $2.99.
Another observation I made while shopping was that all the food at Sars looked somewhat familiar. No, I didn't recognize it from my many trips to the local Safeway or even our kitchen which doesn't have much food. (before today, raiding my kitchen for food was like dating a nun) The food I at Sars was not Safeway select brand but instead Western Family. I specifically remember Western Family brand from working at a food bank on Monday night. This place was stocked with the low cost, but yet high quality off brand. I've always wondered what the stuff I handed out tasted like. Now have a chance. It's possible that I may give up high-class Safeway Select products such as Dr. Skipper for the more economical Western Family equivalent.
On another note, I'm irritated right now because Star just intruded on my towel real-estate in the bathroom. The spot on the shower door is only big enough for one towel, and that's mine.

June 4, 2006 ?
Sorry, July. I had to search through the boxes with June 4th expiration dates to find the July 4th one.
Western Family is the generic brand that Metropolitan Market uses as well. They just hike the price up because they can.
