Now, truth be told, we mostly pick up junk food, so it's probably a good thing we aren't any closer and don't shop there more often. It's not all we buy there, but it truly is the bulk of it. At least we finally stopped buying a bottle of wine every time, because we don't drink, and we don't have much occasion to give a bottle to someone. That being said, that hasn't always stopped us. We're weird, and we know it.
Some of our favorites are seasonal items. We're mental for that saltwater taffy. One of our nephews loves the firecracker bar (chocolate with something like pop rocks and spiciness) so much. That's another thing we like about going there; we can bring things back to others that they can't get otherwise. My mom has never been a tea fan, but she would like to drink tea. I made her some white ginger pear that she liked, so we brought back a box just for her.
Anyway, on our last trip, we apparently went on just the right day, because the Advent Calendars had arrived. We picked up a pile for nieces and nephews, and now we can finally give them to the little ones. Here's hoping they make the countdown to Christmas more fun.
