Salvage FTTW

Over the last few months, Elaine and I have made a handful of visits to a nearby salvage-grocery store. (A primary task of daily living in east-central Illinois is making our own fun.) We always find something unexpected; sometimes an item we’ve bought elsewhere at a much higher price, sometimes an item that we’ll later see elsewhere at a much higher price, sometimes an item we’ve never seen elsewhere. (Bell’s Seasoning, anyone?)

Today was a serious score: six boxes of Barry’s Tea, two of Barry’s Gold Blend, four of Barry’s Original Blend, eighty bags per box, $2.00 a box. Amazon has these teas at $7 or more a box. International grocery stores charge much more.

FTTW: For the tea win.

[If you visit a salvage-grocery store, check all expiration dates. Our tea doesn’t expire until sometime next year. Bell’s Seasoning, expired 2023, was selling for 30¢.]
