Good morning! On this day in 1942, Sir James Paul McCartney was born in Liverpool, England. In case you didn't know already, this guy is kind of a big deal, musically speaking. Aside from being one of the most successful composers and performers of all time (his partnership writing songs with John Lennon is THE most successful ever) he is also one of the wealthiest musicians in the world with an estimated worth of $1.2 billion! He did say, "That's what I want" in the Beatles song Money. Well, he got it! Can't Buy Me Love, huh? Pretty sure you can buy anything with that kind of cash.
If you came down on Saturday hoping to try out the Holy Grail Chocolate Sauces that we mentioned last week only to find that Hilary wasn't here...it was due to a bad bout of food poisoning! We're happy to report that she is feeling much better and is very apologetic for not being able to make it.
The last few months have seen an explosion of new varieties of Oreo Cookies. Their wacky crew must never sleep! That's because they've added another two flavours! Oreo Dark Chocolate is the classic Oreo cookie with dark chocolate flavoured creme sandwiched in between. Made with real cocoa. A little less traditional is Oreo Carrot Cake Cookies, with carrot cake flavoured cookies and a cream cheese flavoured creme centre.
What better to wash down a bunch of cookies with than lemonade, especially now that it's officially hot outside? Black River Classic Lemonade has just arrived and could be your next favourite summertime beverage. Made with cane sugar, concentrated lemon and lime juices and a whole lot of love to boot, it's the perfect combination of sweet and tart!
Anytime that we can get a quality, local product into the store, we jump at the opportunity. So when we heard about Millstone Farm & Organics Inc. Farm Fresh Eggs, we didn't hesitate! Their products are all focused on the health of humans and the environment. And these organic eggs are produced from hens that are free to roam the natural pastures and forest of the farm located in North Saanich! We should mention that these eggs are available in limited quantities so please don't be upset if you come looking and find the shelf empty.
If you've been buying Mornington Goat Butter at Pepper's, you won't find it anymore. That's because it's been discontinued. But don't be alarmed! We replaced it with Woolwich Goat Butter who've been lovingly creating goat milk products in Orangeville, Ontario for quite awhile now. This butter has a creamy smooth texture and a rich taste that pairs well sauteed on vegetables or spread on rustic, crusty bread!
Liberté Mediterranee Yogurt is famous for being über thick and rich, a truly decadent treat. And like many other companies, they offer a rotating limited edition flavour. For some reason, their last one, Pumpkin Salted Caramel, flopped. But this new one looks to be a solid bet. New to the dairy shelf is Liberté Mediterranee Limited Edition Wild Blueberry! Nothing exotic or unconventional about this flavour: just a whole lot of creamy, delicious blueberry-on-the-bottom high fat yogurt! Go ahead and live a little! You deserve it!
All of the honey flavoured yogurts that Pepper's stocks are solid sellers. So we decided to add Oikos Honey Greek Yogurt in a convenient 4x100g multipack! Lots of people like plain greek yogurt with a little honey to sweeten things up. Now skip a step and buy it with the honey already added!
And while we're talking about yogurt, we'll just remind you that we sell the plastic lids for the super popular Riviera Petit Pot Yogurts. This is the delicious, French-Canadian yogurt that comes in the little glass jars. After you've eaten the yummy contents, you can re-use the jar for whatever you like: as a tealight candle holder, to store spices, screws, your weed, you name it. The choice is up to you!
Are you concerned about the amount of detergents and phosphates entering the environment? If so then If You Care Automatic Dishwasher Tablets will ease your conscientious mind while simultaneously providing you with sparkling clean dishes! These super concentrated tabs use a potent blend of mineral and plant derived cleaning ingredients including powerful enzymes. No phosphates or chlorine to be found anywhere. And because they're super concentrated, their size is reduced. That means a reduced box size, less weight per box, less raw materials used, stored, transported, handled and distributed. That equates to less fuel burned, less CO2 and less detergents in the environment. Your choices make a difference. Give these dishwasher tabs a try...if you care.
A lot of people would love to have a better smelling room, house or car but they just can't handle the harshness of many of the aerosolized spray deodorants. Attitude Little Ones Natural Air Purifier takes care of that problem (and many nasty problem odours, too!). How does it work? It's an odour absorbing, Canadian made product that uses activated charcoal to purify air in spaces up to 400 square feet! It has a subtle yet pleasing scent but doesn't contain any ingredients that would cause you any concern to be exposed to. In other words, it's all-natural just as the name suggests. Just like the Ronco Rotisserie Oven, set it and forget it!
And finally, the winner of our highly coveted Toronto Maple Leafs jersey was Astrid, a transplanted Torontonian of 26 years and, coincidentally, a huge fan. Congratulations Astrid!
We have a great ad for you this week. Make sure you take advantage of these deals! Until next week, take good care!
