Free Stuff......and good food.

We all love free stuff......it rates right up there with chocolate recipes.....for me.Or free chocolate.lol.
I went into Whole Foods in Deerfield Township and saw a bag that said.....Samples.
I am allergic to alot of things......even so, most stores will not give samples.
They tell you to purchase the item, if you are allergic---then bring it back for a full refund.
I don't know about you---however,  I wish I were that organized, to find an old receipt. RIGHT...or the box the product came in....Bigger,  RIGHTO!
So, I found out by asking, that Whole Foods will allow you to sample a free, full-sized product. Shampoo-Lotion-Supplement...is Awesome.
Makes me like them more---if, that is possible.
Also, I found out that they have a Friday afternoon wine and appetizer offering. 5 wines and 5 appetizers.....as you stroll thru the store. 5 for $5-no kidding.
Not to make this all about Whole Foods, however, they do have great stuff.
Blueberries, Blackberries ( and I will say-after hand-picking some of the most amazing Blackberries-really large size ones that tasted superbly sweet at a farm)--these are as delectable as the ones at the farm), and just wonderful.
So, have fun with it----and pick up a copy of the magazine about local growers-who supply this store----while you are there.....supporting the community---is a very good thing.
p.s. some of my favorites:
Lavender hand wipes (in the front of the store-----(by carts, as you come in----and for sale in detergent soap aisle).
Fresh cheeses---a huge selection----(by wine bar)
Beer and wine bar----(back of store-left)
Fresh baked cookies----chocolate walnut----(bread aisle)
Incredible chicken salad--yellow fin tuna salad---fresh grilled asparagus ( from deli case)
Brazil nuts----in bulk------
Fresh Guacamole dip---(in produce aisle)......
Brown Cow yogurt-----------(diary-back wall of store)
Martinelli apple juice-----in adorable small and large glass containers--------( all the way over to the left-down from yummy bakery items-----in corner of dairy case-top shelf---a cold little jar---or in juice aisle for large one)
Too-too many items--to mention---- in the soaps/lotions/vitamins---goes on forever-------aisle.....front of the store.
Can you tell I shop here alot? lol.
Check it out.....see if you too get hooked.
