Aldi, Kroger, and Dorothy Lane Markets:
That’s the last of that style of Sam Adams…don’t know why they don’t brew that more into the summer months, as it’s an excellent warm-weather beer, but it’s brewed only between January and March.
That friggin’ tapenade was $12! Twelve.
! Dollars! I shoulda just made my own.
There might be a chili pepper recipe hiding in there…
Never noticed that ginger beer at Aldi’s before, so I grabbed some…$3.
More to follow…

…as promised:
Strawberries aren’t great yet, though they’re getting better week by week, but they were just $2, so in the cart they went.
The sumos were also on sale.

That's a good price on the ginger beer! I used to buy those when I drank vodka and they were, at Walmart, and easy $6.Aldi, Kroger, and Dorothy Lane Markets:

Cherry cordial!!! When we lived in Louisiana we'd make that with the wild cherries growing around Cross Lake. When the birds got drunk from the fermenting cherries it was time to harvest. We'd put sheets under the trees and shake like crazy. All that was gathered up and put in large wide mouth jars and then filled with vodka and left to sit, occasional shake, for three months. Filter it off, add sugar, and bottle it up in repurposed wine bottles.
Good stuff.
The last time I ate a cherry was in 2022, when I was in the UK, Before that, I don't think I'd touched one for about 30 years - they don't grow here.
Shame, because I love cherries!

I think it was about 6 or 7 years ago for me.
We were camping under the cherry trees so I ate plenty (it was an orchard turned into camp site)

Talking of TastyReuben 's $12 tapenade, here's something I didn't buy because WTH:
380g jar for equivalent of USD $30? Does that sound reasonable?
