What’s with Fred Meyer discontinuing things?
December 17th, 2009OK, so I like some pineapple juice added in to my screwdrivers. I’m sure there’s some name for the drink, but I don’t know it. I used to get the 6-packs of small cans at Fred Meyer’s. Recently, when it occurred to me to look for it again, it wasn’t there. I talked to two employees who pointed at the spot on the shelf where it was, then they both looked baffled that it had been replaced with cans of prune juice. Ummmm, not the same. I can get them at the liquor store for 50 cents each. I found near the boxed OJ a pre-mixed pineapple-orange juice, but it just doesn’t taste the same.
And Norm has always used shaving gel for tough beards. In two different brands, it was the orange can. He asked me to pick up a new can for him. Gillette Fusion in the orange can now has 4 or 5 varieties – none for tough beards. No other brand at Fred Meyers has a variety for tough beards now. What gives? I looked online, and the Gillette is still out there as available. Who makes these decisions.
LOL, OK, it just occurred to me to contact them about it.
In better news, LifeSource now has Yumm! Sauce from the Cafe Yumm! franchise in Eugene. I picked some up in original and roasted garlic. We had rice bowls for dinner last night – so good. Brown rice, Yumm! sauce, black beans, cheese, and freshly blended up H&H salsa. I think I’ll have that as leftovers tonight, after my screwdrivers!
