There is a new store that has opened up by my office, called
"Everything is .99". Never seen it before. But my guys have already
been there, and they reported back the usual stuff found in a dollar
store. With one exception:

Here in San Antonio, they are selling Hatch peppers ( 1 1/2 pound
packages) as well as Jalepeños (3 pound packages) serranos (3 pound
packages) and really pretty pasillas 3 peppers to a package. All of
this stuff is fresh, packaged, and ready to go. They also have large
bags of dried Mexican oregano, and really large bags of whole dried
ancho peppers, probably about 6 - 8 ozs or so.

They have the large packages of undressed, Del Monte prepackaged slaw,
bags of fresh salad, etc. All for .99 each.

I had to stock up on the peppers as they are so damn good. I am
grilling wings this Sunday, so I will be throwing on a little extra
wood to char up the Hatch peppers for future sauces and dressings.
Love those smoke serranos for hot sauces too, as they have a more
distinct kick than the jalepeño.

This may be a one time thing, or not available in your area. But for
anyone around here that appreciates peppers, this is a great deal.

We have one of those stores that opened here in Harlingen, TX (almost as
far south as you can get before you're in Mexico) and they have fresh
produce, too. I got packages with one red, one yellow and one orange
pepper for 99 cents at ours. They also have a great selection of canned
goods. I got some oriental sauces and canned veggies at ours.

My DH says that I'm the only person he knows who can spend $65 in an
"everything's 99 cents" store. <vbg>

While you're at it, check out their cans of mushrooms. For chili, we
toss in several cans and the $.99 store sells them in packs of 3 button,
sliced button, shittake and perhaps one other.

LOL!! Just ask him if he'd rather have you spend $165.00 in a 'regular'
store. :-)

I saw all of that stuff. So Janet, have they been around down there
for a while? Can you count on them as a pepper supplier? I noticed
that they only had "packaged by" on the label with no identification
of the origin. Who knows where the peppers originated.

I am wondering if I need to put them on the map as a source for my
peppers I really do make hot sauce by the gallon, as well as sauce
for huevos rancheros, chips, and love the homemade chipotles in a
finishing sauce for pulled pork.

And for ABTs, they had some whopper japs, so I am thinking that maybe
this weekend...

This store opened just before Christmas. I don't recall seeing that
particular chain before around here. We have the usuals like Family
Dollar, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Joy Dollar, and several
independents There are folks who jokingly refer to the area as Dollar
Store Heaven, but none of the others have fresh stuff like this store
does. I'm not over in that part of town very often, but when I am, they
always seem to have peppers. So, yes. I would consider them a source.
