Good morning! Happy Cinco de Mayo! And happy return-to-shopping in-store at Pepper's Foods! That's right, you can come back in, now that we've re-organized and made a few changes (chiefly, reducing the number of staff during shopping hours). We have to say, it's been awfully strange around here these past few weeks so it will be great to see many of you back in the aisles!
We need to apologize for publishing in Sunday's information newsletter that we wouldn't be offering deliveries on the weekends. As happens so often these days, things change. We made a mistake and, in fact, we WILL be offering deliveries on the weekend! So if you were bummed out thinking it couldn't happen anymore, order away for Saturday and Sunday deliveries!
Sooke Brewing Company make a vast array of ales, pilsners, stouts and other libations, most of which are on the strong side when it comes to alcohol content. But a lot of breweries have traded in their signature brews for their own version of hand sanitizer, and SBC is no different. Pepper's now carries Sooke Brewing Company Hand Sanitizer made with a World Health Organization formulation of 70% ethanol, glycerol and hydrogen peroxide. All those nasty germs and viruses don't stand a chance with this stuff! Available in a 237ml bottle for $12 and a 946ml bottle for $30.
As long as we're talking about sanitized hands, let's take this opportunity to mention a couple of new hand soaps available now. Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Hand Soaps are made with olive oil and aloe vera. They're aromatherapeutic containing garden-inspired aromas as well as other thoughtfully chosen ingredients and will leave your hands feeling soft and squeaky clean! Available in Bluebell and Honeysuckle scents.
When Ecos makes their health and beauty products, they use hypoallergenic and earth friendly ingredients. They utilize plant-powered surfactants and softeners to make their Ecos Hand Soaps. Pepper's has a Lemongrass scented soap as well as one in Lavender. Plus, you won't find any dyes, parabens, phosphates or phthalates in these effective and uplifting-scented hand soaps.
Cauliflower is chock-a-block full of antioxidants like vitamin C and manganese, and has phytonutrients, vitamin K, and omega-3. It's a powerhouse of nutrition. That's why Caulipower chose their name. So if you love soft tacos, quesadillas, enchilladas and wraps but can't have the gluten found in traditional tortillas then Caulipower ¡Viva Cauliflower Tortilla! is just exactly what you want! Vegan and a good source of fibre, these delicious new tortillas will last for up to four weeks in the fridge if you purchase them frozen (which you will since they're kept in the freezer aisle).
We've been carrying Yoggu Dairy-Free Coconut Yogurt (made in Vancouver) for some time now. This popular fermented probiotic yogurt is made without dairy: just organic coconut cream, agar and vegan probiotic cultures. So do you want the good news or the bad news first. Ok, the bad news is that they no longer have the Strawberry flavour. But the good news is that there's a new Mango flavour! So make sure to pick up a jar and give this a try!
We always attach our weekly specials to this newsletter. So when you scan through it this week, you'll notice something new: Hellmann's Salad Dressings! Lemon Za'atar and Sesame Thai can also serve as marinades while Classic Caesar and Classic Ranch make the perfect dressing for any salad! Now that BBQ season has arrived, your main courses and salads will have all of your family members' mouths watering. Get them this week for $4.76 each!
That's all there is for this week. Remember that Mother's Day is coming up this Sunday. Don't forget to show that special lady how much you love and cherish her, especially if you are unable to see or hug her in person due to physical distancing. To all the mother's out there, Happy Mother's Day from Pepper's Foods. Take good care.
