    The deleted stuff made more sense last night :dunno: I'd tell you all about my trip to Pak'n Save but I'd be just boring myself to death.

    IDK, I like reading about the different grocery stores. It's not like I can travel anywhere exciting thanks to Covid, so a visit to Wegman's is all I've got. I love wandering around different grocery stores when I'm abroad. That's how I became known as the source for all candy in my office. lol

    I had an insane day. We lost power for a couple hours due to a storm. I had to start bailing water from my sump pump. I called my husband and told him to come home. Thank God the kids were here to carry buckets away as I filled them. I'm exhausted. It didn't phase them because they are running around. :yellow-laughing-smiley-emoticon And of course dh pulled in the driveway just as power went on. Now I need to buy a backup for the sump pump because I never want to do this again.

    Anyway, I love Trader Joe's but do not like Whole Foods. I shop mostly at Trader Joe's and our local grocery store chain. Sometimes I go to Sprouts. I tried Amazon Fresh when I visited my mom in California and I hated it. They didn't have a lot of the things we were shopping for, so it was a waste of time.

    It's hatch chile season! I bought about 12 of them today. Tomorrow I'm going to roast them. I'll get more next week to roast and freeze for future use. They are the best chiles.

    For Disney World I think we have used Garden Grocer in the past. Have a great trip! The summer crowds are dying down now.

    A battery back up for your sump pump is some of the best money you will ever spend. SO sorry for your flooding! :hug:

    So sorry Wookie! :animated-smileys-hug-011:

    I agree that a backup battery is the greatest thing ever (make sure your insurance company knows after you add it too).

    Since we aren’t traveling anywhere besides College Town, I’m enjoying hearing the grocery chatter. Its like I’m going coast to coast right now!

    Maybe she went to Norway after all. The summer trip that she booked a few months back. Who knows with her?

    My question is, since your husband came home when you called him, and the emergency had passed,did he at least peel some apples for you?

    Yes! We always bring back fun grocery store candy from our travels. It's so much fun to buy random things to try out, especially when you have no idea what they are. I kind of want to try one of those snack subscriptions with a new country every shipment since we're going nowhere fun any time soon.

    Weird. Norway is 6 hours ahead of EST and this location seems to be 5 hours ahead which is places like London or Lisbon, for example.

    Yeah I can’t tell how long it’s been there, only the time it was for her when it happened, so it could easily have been there an hour already.

    Do we really think she went to Europe alone? Or traveling with her parents? I’m actually excited to see where she went for once (even though her footage will be insufferable).

    Clueless, I live 20 or so miles west if Disneyworld. I go pretty often. I try to get to the park before any of them open, and leave after 3 or 4 hours. It has just been too hot and humid, my pain level has ben constant 6-7 every day, I can’t go when it is that bad. School started here this week, I will go over next week, hopefully lots of people will be gone. If any Bakers ever want to have a drink while there, I will be like Jen and give you some ignorant excuse! OR I will get a pager from Trader Sams for us all!
