Stop & Shop

This has to be the best idea, EVER. (Well, cookie dough in ice cream was a pretty ingenious idea too, but this is a close second.)

Since grocery stores are few and far between here, and NONE OF THEM SELL DUKE'S MAYONAISE, you have to be fairly open to shopping. While there is a Whole Foods Market right across the street, I have a really hard time spending so much on groceries. So Chris found a good alternative for us at this place called Stop & Shop. (Notice that I did not mention Publix or BiLo. There is a reason for this. There are no “normal” grocery stores here.) This is how it works: You go online, click on all of the things that you want to buy, except for Duke’s, and then they deliver it right to your door. Amazing. Well, almost amazing. As it turns out, it’s strangely expensive, and you still can’t get everything you might want, but all in all, pretty impressive. And, I didn’t have to lug all of the stuff across the street, up the stairs, and through two locked doors.
