Ah yes,.... celery.... that was the one that really stunned me. I don't
usually do much shopping at out local Sobey's because I find them
expensive, but I had been to the local butcher and didn't want to back
track and head to t "the city" for the few other things I needed. So I
went to Sobey's for the few things i needed. The celery was outrageously
expensive but I needed <?> it because we are having Buffalo wings and you
just aren't wings unless you have celery sticks and blue cheese
dressing...... and beer.... lots of beer.
