Good morning! It's always nice to get away but it's also good to get back into the swing of things. This week there's plenty of new products to tell you about so let's get right to it. But first, what do Patrick Swayze, Christian Slater, Edward Norton, Robert Redford and Bruin Leney all have in common? Correct! They all have their birthdays today! And yes, all of them except for one, are very famous actors and have been seen in a plethora of movies. But there's no one we'd like to see have a happier birthday than Bruin "The Bear" Leney. Happy birthday, buddy!!
"It's party time, it's excellent! Schwing!" Those words were made famous by party-head Wayne Campbell of Aurora, Illinois. But did you know that one of our new items comes from Aurora, Ontario? That's right, new Cookie It Up Shorts are excellent snacking material. They're basically super-delicious, rich and buttery miniature shortbread cookies, the chips of the cookie world if you will. And they're available in four amazing flavours: Milk Chocolate, White Chocolate Cranberry, Salted Butterscotch and Double Chocolate! It's oh-so-easy to pick up a bag (or four), take home and start munching. What's difficult is finding a way to stop. Oh wait, it's not hard at all! Just eat until they're gone! We're in a global pandemic. Anything goes at this point.
We couldn't stop with just one choice cookie this week. This one is baked right here in-store in our Deli Department! If you happen to be shopping and smell something incredible, it's simply English Bay Key Lime & White Chocolate Cookies in the oven! These two flavours go great together which means that these cookies will go great in your mouth. Pick up a bag in our baked goods section where other delicious English Bay cookies are found.
It's almost time to go back to school. Well, let's put it this way: school is set to resume on September 10th. Whether or not your kids attend a classroom is much less of a certainty. However, what we are certain of is that if you pack one of these new Nature Valley Maple Brown Sugar Crunchy Granola Bars in their lunch, they'll (a) eat it and (b) like it. A lot. What's not to like? There are two kinds of sugar in there! But there's some whole grain oats packed in as well. It's a great addition to the lunchkit for everyone in your family. Get crunchin'!
For a treat with less sugars there's always Cavalier Fine Belgian Chocolate Bars! You heard right: this is real gourmet, Belgian milk and dark chocolate made by a family-owned business. It has reduced sugars and is sweetened with Stevia. We have two sizes of bars: 85 gram (Milk Hazelnuts and Dark Berries) and 40 gram (Milk Caramel and Dark Cocoa Nibs). Now you can indulge a little (or a lot) by eating delicious chocolate without all the guilt normally associated with this oft frowned upon act. Have a cavalier disregard for eating so healthy all the time! C'mon, you deserve it!
Our Dairy Department has quite a few new additions so let's start with some new flavours (and sizes) from the famous Liberté Canada Yogurt line! Everyone who eats yogurt knows that the richest, creamiest and most decadent yogurt in all the land is Liberté Méditerranée. And if you're a fan you'll be giddy to know that Liberté Méditerranée Plain comes in a bigger 900 gram tub! More means better and at 10% milk fat, that's a lot more bang for your buck! There's also a new Limited Edition Méditerranée Vanilla Yogurt flavour! There's only 9% milk fat in this one. Maybe they had to add less fat to make room for the vanila. Who knows? One thing that we do know is that this won't be around forever. Get it while it's still available! And finally, rounding out the new line-up is Liberté 2% Greek Yogurt in three new flavours: Peach (pictured), Cherry and Lemon!
We've talked about Armstrong Cheese on numerous occasions in the newsletter. This Armstrong, BC based company has been making award-winning cheeses for over a century. It sells like hotcakes at Pepper's and with the addition of four new Armstrong Cheese Slices, it's sure to become even more popular! With Creamy Havarti, Medium Cheddar, Smoke Flavoured Cheddar and Monterey Jack you get the convenience of pre-sliced cheese that comes in a resealable zipper package. For a quick and easy snack just open the pack and take a slice or two. Plus, they're the perfect size for a sandwich. No knives or cutting board required, either. Practical and pleasant. Win-win!
These next items aren't new to the store. They've been here for awhile now. But the packaging has had a major overhaul moving from blah to beautiful! Emborg Plant Based Cheese Shreds are vegan, non-dairy cheeses available in Mozzarella Style and Cheddar Style. They taste like cheese, melt like cheese and satisfy like cheese but are mostly made from potato and corn starch! And there's no palm oil, soy, gluten or dairy!
And though these next items were unveiled in the short newletter that came out last week, we liked them so much that we had to brag about them some more! Proudly made here in Canada (Edmonton, AB) Get Sauced BBQ Sauces and Glazes are guaranteed to make your next cookout the best cookout of the season! Our current selection of Grilling Sauces includes Honey Hickory Chipotle (general purpose BBQ sauce) as well as Peach (pork back ribs, wings, pork tenderloin, etc). For incredible ginger beef, oriental style wings and amazing stir-frys, Get Sauced Szechuan Sauce is a must-have. And the Get Sauced Carolina Gold is a mustard sauce with a touch of sweetness that makes a great glaze, topping or dipping sauce!
That's all for now, folks. Remember, in these frustrating and tedious times do as Ron Burgundy does and "stay classy!"
Take good care,
Pepper's Foods
