I heeded my instincts. Bonanza!
I'm not baking this year. Rather, I'm putting together Christmas bags which consists of food items with Xmas tissue paper enclosed in a nice insulated shopping tote. The salvage place is a great place to find interesting items that are both high quality and well-priced. So I can put together a really nice bag for 1/3 the price. I call these my Hermione Bags....
Of course they had pumpkin. I got some more of that. It is a staple in my diet, and it is just less than 1/2 price of what I can get it at the warehouse club. I got some more of the olive bruschetta to go in my gift bags. Truly yummy and pretty to boot.
- for my cousin who is having to equip a second household, I bought some lovely Libby glasswear. (I had already bought some for myself, and when I checked the prices, they were about 1/3 of what they sell for
- Gold Bond Ultimate lotion: 20 oz at less than 1/2 price. It's good stuff
- Mestemacher Bread Sunflower Seed, 17.6-Ounce: Wow, this stuff is seriously good, and at a seriously good price of .99 and a best buy date of 10/2015. I plan to get more...it is that well priced, that healthy and that good.
- More salt/pepper grinders at 1/3 price
- Redmond facial mud at less than 1/2 off. Lovely treat for one's face
- Macaroni: 10lb of macaroni price at 4.99. I bought 5 bags; and another woman saw my bags and bought the balance. If I can get macaroni at .50/lb, (and it is a staple in our dog's homemade diets mixed with raw meat and sardines), then I get it.
- Sriracha Hot Chile Sauce: less than 1/2 price. This stuff is oh-so-good, and will go in the gift bags
- Grandma's Molasses: about 1/3 off of what you can buy at Walmart. A deal, but not an exceptional deal. I'll make some molasses cookies for xmas with these.
- Planter's Cocoa Almonds: These are were priced at $6.99, and the are ~$13 at the warehouse store. In the bag!
