I noticed in the grocery store today that many of the Passover
foods are on sale, so now's the time to buy if you depend on
seasonal stuff like matzoh, potato starch (flour), etc.

My sister-in-law buys as few boxes of matzoh for her husband
to snack on (neither are Jewish, they developed a taste for it.)

I was blown away by the price of Manischewitz macaroons that come
in round tube like an oatmeal box. They were ON SALE for $5.49.
Yikes. The day after Passover they will be on a mark-down table
for $1. (I LOVE their chocolate macaroons.)

Last year I bought coconut macaroons (you are right, they were $1), and
I also bought 3 boxes of Diamond Crystal Kosher salt, that it is my
favorite brand; the salt was 50 cents. I bought other things, but
those are the two I remember.

I learned how to make my own. Cheaper and I can use Splenda for DH who
is Diabetic.

This year DD and the 'angelic' grandgirls will be here during Passover,
so I might have them help Grandma to bake some. I just love cooking with
my grandgirls.

Heh. They started setting up the Passover food aisle in Stop & Shop
back in February! I make my own chocolate macaroons. Cheaper,
easier, and more fun. Plus, I can make tons of them.....

Costco here (NC) has had Mexican Coca Cola since before Christmas. No
HFCS, tastes great.

Share please? The recipe that is. My mom's fave was always cocoanut
macaroons, and now that she's gone and both eldest daughter and I are
diabetic, well, they just haven't been a need to make them.....but if I had
a recipe that called for Splenda, well, that may be a horse of a different
color.

In case you are interested, Damsel posted recipes for macaroons. One
recipe was sugar-free, coconut-almond macaroons. I made them, but I
lost the recipe when my HD fried. I may look for that recipe, later.

Really? Salt? Diamond Kosher is a standard item in my area and it is
never marked down. It's usually around $2 a box.
Granted, I live in a community with a fairly large Jewish population -
but kosher salt is pretty widely used by all these days. Isn't it??
My local groceries have year round kosher sections. The just get way
expanded around Passover.

Matzo, macaroon and cereal makers seem to have similar ways of
thinking. The amount in the box has been steadily reduced over the
years. I see Trader Joe's has large boxes of matzohs now with 3 lbs
inside, I think.

They sell Kosher salt in the baking section, along with iodized salt,
pickling salt and ice cream salt, but I do not like the brand they
regularly sell. It starts with the letter "N", I remember that much. I
did not like the texture. During Passover they had Diamond Crystal,
which I had been buying at the Penzey's store in Houston.

Is it usually stocked with the rest of the soda, or in a separate
Passover section?

Passover section?

About the only passover food I buy anymore is matzo, I already have my two
packages of five one pound boxes, ten pounds all together at $1/lb... I like
matzo and a lot ends up as matzo meal, just run it through my meat grinder.
I like broken matzo in chicken soup too, Jewish penicillin with farfel.
