Got a flyer in the mail for a store in Woodinville called County Market.
Apparently they just opened. There is another in Lake Stevens. Owned by Super Valu and went in where Albertsons were. I went there only for the corn and soda pop. They were the only store in this area with a good soda sale. Limit of 4. Yes, I know that I could have gone back through the line again but the sale price was 4/$11 which is a good price but not super good and 4 will get me through until next week's sale. Anyway... This store like many others had disposal bins where the corn was. But what the shoppers were doing with them seemed odd. They didn't have a lot of corn out there for sale. And people were all over it, partially peeling back the husks, then looking disgusted and chucking it back down. Every once in a while they would look happy and put an ear in their cart. Normally when I see people make use of those disposal bins, they put all of the husk and the silk in it. But not these people! They seemed to only be putting the outer leaves in it and they weren't peeling the husk back any further. What could they have been seeing at that point that made them decide that the ear was bad? At least I peeled it back until I could see the corn kernels. I bought the first two that I picked up. Seemed fine. And no worms. That's one thing that I hate about buying fresh corn. I have gotten a worm in it many times. I only bought two because corn isn't really in season, I can't eat it and daughter didn't want it. Husband does love corn on the cob so he can have it tonight with steak, baked potato and salad. And then again tomorrow with turkey and stuffing. I doubt that I'll be going back to this store unless I just happen to be in the area and/or they have another good sale. My overall impression was that they were pretty much the same as Albertsons but with higher prices. All of the food seemed to be the same. Nothing new to see there except for a little change of decor. |
