I buy:
Nuts (whole roasted cashews, 50 percent salt)
Dried fruit
Fresh blueberry preserves (no additives/preservatives and delicious)
Ever-changing variety of coffees
Butter (good quality and price)
Frozen small baguettes (surprisingly good, easy emergency freezer
stock)
Pennette (small version of penne, great with many sauces)
Canned tuna--solid pack white albacore (in oil or in water)
Italian grapefruit soda (delicious on its own or as vodka mixer)
Pork tenderloins are not injected or processed
Black Forest ham is a tasty occasional treat in a conveniently small
size

I don't buy:
Most of their prepared foods--our tastes differ (they tend to like
bland/safe and underseasoned imho)
Their produce (prepackaged, overpriced)

I shop/browse
Wine, liquor, cheese. -aem
