Shopping Notes (Boston locality)
Jun. 13th, 2005 02:03 pm1) The Strawberry's next to Trader Joe's on Storrow Memorial (thanks Mycroft) Drive is closing in two weeks. They are selling everything. Used stuff, DVD sets, everything's had its price cut. I looked lustfully at season one of Carnivale, but even with the price cut it's $80.
2) The new Penzey's store is a bit further down on Mass Ave in Arlington than I would have expected. I gave myself a $20 limit, ended up spending closer to $10. I enjoyed the smelling jars as they give me an excellent idea of what I can put their spices in. I noticed that the spices mixes made me rub my nose a bit - fairly strong. That or my nose really is getting closer to bloodhound.
3) Rosebud in Malden remains a very good place for produce. 89 cent fresh mangos. Mmmmm... mango lhassi...
(edited to add) Mango lhassi note: more sugar, less honey.
