Spring taste test: 5 mint ice creams for Easter + The Big Mint List (35 flavors ranked)

Happy Easter to all you ice cream fanatics! I hope the Easter Bunny was especially sweet to you this year with seasonal treats — leaving baskets overflowing with candy eggs, Jelly Beans and marshmallow critters in resplendent neon. Perhaps that roving rabbit even gifted you a box of dry ice and premium pints. But what flavors would he pick? Carrot cake, sure. Something floral? A berry delight? J...

Taste test: Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup (+ a few similar flavors)

After somebody posted about Ben & Jerry’s flavor graveyard a month or two back, I was struck by how many intriguing flavors they used to make that I never tried. I then realized I have not tried a vast majority of their current lineup. Why not? A few reasons: I have a few B&J favorites I tended to repurchase (Cherry Garcia, Mint Cookie, dearly departed Cheesecake Brownie). I also...

Found Stellar Crown in the wild today

Just sharing something interesting. These were apparently forgotten in the back storage of a Safeway store and the manager put them out for sale at Guest services for $5.99, no limit. Do you like Stellar Crown? How many would you have bought?

Could a Safeway store ever reopen in Merced

Safeway had a Merced store in 1952 at Main & M. A larger store replaced it in 1965, and it operated until closing in 1984. It later became Grocery Outlet, and the former drug store space is now Dollar Tree. With Merced continuing to grow, could Safeway ever come back in the future or is the market already too competitive here? Like we already have stores like raleys and sprouts which are ...

Crazy! First coinstar Silver Find. How did do?

With silver over $110 per Oz I see the coinstar posts all the time so I wanted to try it too. I spotted it in the rejected coin place.

I took a bunch of pictures so you can see the silver coin. I couldn't get the coin to stand up on the s...

For example, if you are old enough to have worked for Hillards prior to being taken over by Tesco or you worked at a Safeway store that Morrisons didn't keep after the takeover and was one of the ones sold to Tesco, do you miss your old employer? Do you think things were better with your old employer or better now you're with Tesco?
