Good morning! Today Marty McFly, Edward Scissorhands and Queen Amidala all share a birthday! Of course we're talking about BC's own Michael J. Fox, Hollywood bad boy Johnny Depp and the lovely academy award winning actress Natalie Portman, respectively. Interestingly, none of them have ever appeared in a movie together although Depp and Portman did appear in Sir Paul McCartney's video for his song My Valentine.
First up on the agenda is telling you about new items in our Deli Department! We're super excited to now offer another amazing Victoria company's wares: Justo's Hummus! Available in five exciting flavours these 100% vegan, gluten-free, hand-crafted hummuses (what is the plural for hummus, anyway?) come in eco-friendly glass jars which you can reuse or recycle. Choose from Smoky Chipotle, Masala Curry, Lemon Cumin, Vegan Ranch or Best-O Pesto.
As if that wasn't enough, our Deli also expanded their line of super fresh and tasty products from another successful Victoria business! New Fresh Coast Salad Dressings are dairy and gluten-free and come in Almond Caesar, Sweet Chili Lime, Pesto Balsamic and Miso Lime flavours! They're made with only the freshest ingredients and also come in an eco-friendly reusable glass jar. Both of these new product lines can be found in the cold deli case near the entrance and right across from the first till.
Ranchero sauce is a spicy type of Mexican tomato-based salsa made with onions, peppers and other good stuff. So when a customer asked for it, we brought in La Costena Ranchera Sauce, a spicy and smoky sauce made with tomatillo, jalapeno, peppers, onions and spices. Try it on huevos rancheros, carnitas, chicken, beef, fish and soups. Or how about on enchiladas, fajitas, tacos, in any type of pork dishes, burritos or as a substitute on any dish that calls for barbecue sauce? Great flavour and not too hot!
Classico makes delicious conventional and organic pasta sauces as well as pestos but now they have something new for all you pizza lovers out there! Classico Traditional Pizza Sauce will make any home-made pizza taste like you ordered out! Made with fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil and olive oil, it contains no gluten and no preservatives. Also try it as a dipping sauce for garlic bread, mozza sticks, or on pizza or meatball subs!
A few weeks ago we introduced you to Patience Fruit & Co. Organic Dried Blueberries. Well, we just so happened to add a couple of new varieties by bringing in Patience Fruit & Co. Organic 3 Fruit Blend, a yummy combination of sweetened dried cranberries, wild blueberries and tart cherries as well as Patience Fruit & Co. Organic Cranberries (sliced!) which is simply dried cranberries all by themselves. These make great snacks or ingredients to your baking or as toppings for yogurt, ice cream or for whatever you want to add them to!
Alas, the fight against the coronavirus continues so for those of you looking for something to disinfect your hard surfaces at work or at home such as countertops, sinks, handles, switches, phones or dooknobs (just to name a few) then BT Surface Disinfectant & Deodorizing Spray is going to fit the bill quite nicely. It's an effective bacteria killer, made in Canada, and it can also be used in the air as a space spray.
A lot of people swear that charcoal is great as a natural tooth whitening ingredient and breath freshener in toothpaste. We've now given you two choices when it comes to mainstream brands of toothpaste containing charcoal: Crest 3D White Whitening Therapy Charcoal with Tea Tree Oil Toothpaste as well as Colgate Essentials with Charcoal Toothpaste. Both contain flouride and are safe for enamel which means you can use everyday. They're mint flavoured so you don't have to worry about your toothpaste tasting and smelling like that roasted marshmallow that caught fire when you were camping that one time and you couldn't blow it out but decided to eat it anyway and immediately regretted that decision.
How are we going to finish off the newsletter this week? How about by showing you new Finish Powerball All In 1 Max Automatic Dishwasher Detergent Tabs? Available in a 55 or 105 count this is what the company website says about it: Finish All In 1 tackles whatever you throw at it. Our Powerball supercharges the tablet to remove even baked-on food, giving you a powerful clean the 1st time, everytime. Finish All In 1, which contains new Glass Protection ingredients, offers powerful clean and shine for your glasses while also helping to prevent corrosion - leaving them clean and shiny! Use it even on your toughest messes like greasy dishes & cloudy glasses for fast action cleaning. Finish All In 1 tablets are safe for septic systems. The tablets are easy-to-use, wrapper free & pre-measured to enhance your dishwashing experience.
Or you could try Finish Powerball Quantum which is essentially the exact same product but it's a powder, gel and liquid combination combined into one tab to do everything that you could possibly want your dishwashing detergent to do. Now if they could only get it to load and unload the machine...
