Well, we won't be seeing their liquor store here in Raleigh. Spirituous liquors
can only be sold by state controlled ABC stores.
They'll have wine & beer I guess, but I rarely buy those. I don't buy liquor all
that often, I think the newest bottle I have in the house is 5 years old.
I guess I should explain what all the angst was about. I have two "pot-luck"
suppers to attend in December for two of the camera clubs I belong to.
I usually take a boring old Green Bean Casserole - big can of green beans, can
of condensed cream of mushroom soup & French's Crispy Fried Onions. Dump the
ingredients into a crock pot on low heat & by the time I go to my meeting it's
ready.
This year I wanted to do something different to celebrate finally having a
kitchen I can cook in (and wash dishes in). My unanticipated, UN-budgeted
kitchen remodeling project is in it's fourth year.
While I was standing in the check out at Lowe's Home Improvement (to pay for the
sink base that is the foundation of my new kitchen) I spotted a magazine of
recipes & on the cover was "Maple Pulled Pork Buns".
https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/maple-pulled-pork-buns/
That's the ticket! Made my mouth start watering just looking at the cover. Added
the magazine to my checkout. The moment of truth is now upon me and I'll have to
make the recipe next week. Time to start gathering ingredients, make sure I have
every thing I need ...
One of the ingredients I need is:
*"2 loaves (1 pound each) frozen bread dough, thawed".*
I wasn't able to find frozen bread dough at any of the local stores (Lidl, Aldi,
Trader Joes, Harris Teeter, Lowes Foods) I frequent; not even at Costco. OK,
internet to the rescue. Amazon has it ... in CASE LOTS of 48 loaves. No joy there.
According to Walmart.com WALMART has it, but only at certain stores (except for
they *don't* have it - see my original RANT).
FWIW, I finally found it at Publix - nearest store is 15 miles across town.
I also found out that Publix will be opening a store within a mile of my house
on the site where one of the two local camera stores I frequent used to be
located. All of the stores on that block were shut down so a developer can build
a multi-story condo building. It will have retail space on the ground floor,
including a Publix supermarket.
PS: The camera store moved and is still open.

Wegman's is a superior supermarket chain. Their meats are top of the line,
their instore bakery makes the best bread outside of France, and their
liquor store is among the best around. The in-store brands of soda and
other daily products are genuine bargains, and of the highest quality. I
think you will enjoy shopping there.

Why would a company list an item on their website marked "In store
purchase
only; no pickup" when the item is not available in the stores?
According to the store manager, the item is ONLY on the website. They have
NEVER
carried it in any of the stores she worked at.
Wasted 15 miles & 3 hours time.
In other NEWZ - we're getting two new grocery chains here in Raleigh ...
or I
should say we're getting another new grocery chain here, Publix has
already
opened stores in the area, although none of them is really convenient for
me,
but there's a sign on a new shopping center expansion about two miles from
my
house that says it's going to include a Wegmans.
Kroger pulled out of North Carolina a few months back & one of the stores
they
closed was the one nearest my house that I had been shopping the last 30
years
or so. The new Wegmans will be about a block closer to my house than
Kroger was.
I'm still hoping Lowe's Foods, Harris Teeter or Publix will take over the
old
Kroger space.
