Schnucks Salad Bar

salad,bar,grocery,food

The Schnucks Salad bar has gotten a little more expensive in 2010. Back in December of 2009, Using the large container identified as "LG HNGE TRA YCODE 347" was priced at $5.49 per pound. March of 2010, the price went up to $5.99 per pound. Fifty cents.
The benefit of the salad bar is that you can gather a combination of ingredients that would normally be very expensive. If you were to select enough ingredients from the salad bar to fill the code 347 container, then go around the store and look at the prices you would need to pay for the whole jar of pickles, the half dozen eggs, the bag of shredded cheese, the package of shredded carrots, etc., would you be saving or losing money?
This would take some time to research, which I no longer have because I have a part-time job doing something else. I would like to look into it, but I'm not getting paid, so good luck.

Product Warning - Blue Diamond Almonds

I purchased a 16 oz bag of Blue Diamond Bold Wasabi and Soy Sauce flavored almonds at the Walgreens at 2500 Koke Mill Rd. The package contained regular roasted almonds.

Blue Diamond has been notified of the error through their contact page. I only hope that this is the only problem with that product. If I ever decide to resume purchasing that product, I will do so only on the condition that the package is transparent enough to see the actual product inside.

Here's a rule of thumb to motivate you in exercising your New Years resolutions. If you can't see the actual product through the package, don't buy it.

The new bacon.

I had a pizza a while ago that was almost overcooked. The pepperoni almost fried itself. The pepperoni was slightly crispy on the exposed edges. It was the best pizza I ever had.

This morning I microwaved some pepperoni between two paper towels for about two minutes and fifteen seconds. They were like the best potato chips in the world. They just crumble in your mouth. Next time I have a salad I'm using pepperoni instead of bacon bits.
