There is no option for which Albertsons or Safeway to shop. You either shop at one…or the other.
We also have the Big Hallow Co-op and the Whole Earth Grainery.
One carries some local produce, local frozen meats and poultry, local farm fresh milk, lots of tofu, bulk grains and a goodly selection of Whole Foods-esque items.
The other carries lots of fresh herbs and spices, teas, vacuum-packed olives, legumes and frozen fish, and some interesting cheeses, health products and a goodly selection of gourmet sauces and condiments.
The Safeway also carries a rather nice selection of Asian and Hispanic condiments and a Kosher section to rival most grocery stores in Arlington, which isn’t saying much.
Albertson’s has a better selection of artisan breads, a bit more in the way of cheese options and it might have better produce, but it doesn't carry my favorite Greek yogurt.
But none of these shops carry these…
But Wal-Mart does!
Go figure.
We have this recipe for a Mushroom and Goat Cheese Tart, which we make using these little fillo tartlet shells and which you can find here.
The Legal Dude asked me to make them for our recent Halloween gathering.
I thought…yeah, like I’m really going to find these fillo shells here.
So imagine my surprise when I spied them at Wal-mart of all places!
Give them a try.
They are super delicious, easy to make and ALWAYS, ALWAYS a big hit at any party.
That is…if you can find the shells at your local, neighborhood grocery store.
Yum! I am going to try them!!! Thank you for the suggestion.
