Wednesday, April 30th, 2008When it says Libby’s Libby’s Libby’s on the label label label,
You will like it like it like it on your table table table…
Did the groceries today. I hate it! I hate spending so much for so little. I was getting some fruit for me. Yes, I got some fresh oranges but I wanted some peaches and mandarin oranges which are not in season. So off to the canned section. Since I had already decided that I don’t care for the Dole Mandarin Oranges, I looked for the DelMonte. They had them but they were more expensive. Publix has their own brand and I took a chance. Interesting that their price was the same as Dole’s. Suffice it to say, I don’t care for the Publix Mandarin Oranges. I got some Peaches too so we will see. Not worth saving some pennies for something you don’t like.
Then I started thinking about what kind/brand we used to buy in Michigan. The Mandarin Oranges came in smaller cans with a green label. I don’t remember the brand but I didn’t see them at Publix. Then I recalled Libby’s and their annoying jingle. I think they might have been the first to can with light syrup instead of the heavy syrup we were used to. And we preferred them. I don’t recall seeing them at Publix.
I also wanted more freezer pops. I really liked those Soda Pops. I finally asked and found the sad selection Publix carries. Two varieties of Flav-o-Ice. I stopped at Walgreens and got 4 boxes of Soda Pops. They had no Root Beer but I don’t think I will miss it.
