I was at Meijer on Sunday night and they had raspberries in those small, flat plastic boxes. They were displayed in 2 different places. One display had a sign that gave the price as $3.49 for six ounces but the other said 2 for $1.00. I was hesitant, but I shouldn't have been. I should have taken two boxes and marched right up to the checkout. I love raspberries, 2 for $1.00 must have been the price for whatever was there before. There's no way they could have been that cheap unless they were just about to go bad and Meijer wanted to move them out quickly. They sometimes discount their produce if it's "borderline". I look at it even if it's in the discount area, though- sometimes I can still use it right away and it will be okay. The people at Meijer are nice and just might have let me buy them at that price, even if it wasn't their intent to sell the raspberries out quickly.
Even better news - Mariano's supermarket is opening right down the street from my church (same cross street, 2 intersections down) this week! Yay! That will be so handy after choir rehearsals! Their products are almost as good as Whole Foods but not nearly as expensive.
Edited to ask - Karen, does your supermarket carry the Amy's Kitchen brand of soups? If they don't - Meijer and Trader Joe's around here do. I will check the ingredients for you. My brother got me started on Amy's because their products don't have all the chemicals and gunk that Campbell's soup does.
