That middle pack was purchased at legendary Luken Meats. That’s “Lukenese” for some unsliced streaky bacon.
What produce/ingredients did you buy or obtain today (2023)?

Not all bought today - the ingredients for half a dozen pork burgers.
[Edit: There were seven in the end]
Morrison's sage! How does that end up in Thailand?

I'd imagine the same way that Waitrose branded stuff (tomato pesto, tinned beans tinned tomatoes, pasta, etc) used to find its way to a very small supermarket in a very small town on the Island of Rhodes (Greece) well outside of the normal tourist areas. Someone presumably buys it and either ships it out via post or brings it in on their hold luggage. I'm guessing they are selling to the expat market.

I believe that someone brought it over for me. It would have been a few years ago though.
Not that I would ever buy this, but look how cheap this is:
Here come the groceries:
That Leinenkugal (storied Wisconsin brewery bought out by Miller, then A-B, and now owned by Molson, I think
) was on sale for…$3US, so I had to relax the beer snobbery a little bit to let that slide through.

I have stocked up on garlic! Most of mine was destroyed my wild birds earlier in the season, but way too late to plant any new... so I've bought 2kg of cured garlic and some garlic granules to get me through to about May (maybe? )
I've not tried their garlic granules before but they got Silver in the Sydney Royal (Agricultural) Show in 2021 so they must be reasonably decent.

Quick stop:
Blue moon
This has to be my favourite version.
Blue Moon Belgian-style beer is not bad, because I´ve had some draught tipples which were quite acceptable.
However, it is evident that, since the company is now owned by two of the worst brewers in the world - Miller - Coors - the beer will be gradually degraded by adding mango, passion fruit, strawberries, huckleberries, cinnamon rolls and Mac´n´Cheese flavourings.

I frequently buy things from the anti waste food store, they sell products that are going out of store ranges for reduced prices.
Now I happen to love chocolate with berry flavor filling, but it's never available anywhere.( I found out I loved that combo when I lived in the UK) Until recently I found this, which I love! But unfortunately it means it's already out of the stores again. Sigh. Dutch people only want caramel, coffee and nut flavor chocolate.

I love the sight of them, but not the price. For all the tulips and daisies, it is a lot of money.Strawberries from the afternoon market. Nice but £6.00/kg???
