Good morning! Did you enjoy that extra hour of sleep on Saturday night? That's certainly a bonus to having Daylight Savings end. But like it or hate it, it's here to stay for at least another year.
This week in our advertised specials you'll see that it's built around baking. Everything that you need to create some seriously sensational and seasonal goodies are on sale! And our Thursday Special fits right in with Kraft Philadelphia Regular Cream Cheese Bricks on for only $2.99 each!
As for new items, we're pushing mostly liquids this week. So if you're looking for something new and exciting to scull, read on!
As the days get cooler, wetter and shorter, there's nothing more comforting than a nice, warm beverage to chase away the winter blahs. That's why picking up a box of Carnation Hot Chocolate Variety Pack makes perfect sense. And the best part about it is that there are three different chocolate flavours to pick from! If variety is the spice of life then now's the time to put some more into yours!
Apples and autumn go hand in hand so another delightfully delicious option for this time of year is apple cider. Not hard apple cider (although that's a good choice, too!) but rather fresh pressed, all natural Taves Family Farms Cider. This cider is cold-pressed and unfiltered: like orange juice with pulp. Drink it cold or make hot mulled apple cider. And it's made in Abbotsford, BC! They use a UV treatment and then pastuerize their cider to ensure it's perfectly safe to drink. And that means it can remain unrefrigerated until opened. Fun fact: it takes approximately 25 apples to make a gallon (3.78 L) of cider!
Our Produce Dept. added Califia XX Espresso Cold Brew Coffee some time ago and it's been a big hit. So it only made sense to expand the line with Califia Mocha Cold Brew Coffee. That's right: delicious 100% aribica coffee blended with creamy almond milk and decadent chocolate. Cold brewing ensures more antioxidants, better flavour and less acidity than hot brewed coffee. And it's kosher, vegan, gluten, soy, dairy and carrageenan-free!
If you really want to kick it up a notch then Rise Nitro Cold Brew Coffee might be more to your liking. There's something here for everyone. Classic Latte contains organic skim milk while Mocha Latte and Oat Milk Latte are two excellent dairy-free options. And there's a reason it's called nitro: not only does it contain 1.5x more caffeine than regular coffee, it's also infused with nitrogen giving it a creamy, sweet and smooth taste. Much like a fine stout!
However, if you'd rather have your oat milk without the coffee then Earth's Own SoFresh Oat Unsweetened Original is where it's at! Oat milk is becoming very popular with consumers who want a creamier texture, more fibre and less fat in their non-dairy beverage. It's an excellent source of calcium and is also gluten-free.
Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's (but you can't say that ten times fast!) classic, national bestselling book Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience might be a read that shows how some people can reach a state of conciousness that allows for a deeply satisying life. One thing that we do know is that if you're wanting to deeply satisfy your thirst, Flow Alkaline Spring Water will definately get the job done! It's not just another bottle of water, either. This water comes from a family owned artesian spring in the beautiful Bruce County, Ontario. It's naturally filtered through layers of limestone which adds minerals (electrolytes) and makes it taste fabulous. And because it's pH is 8.1 (higher than regular water's pH of 7) it might be beneficial in neutralizing acid in the body. However, it's the smart packaging that we really like. The plastic lid is derived from sugarcane while the tetra pack bottle itself is made with 70% renewable materials and is 100% recyclable. So go with the Flow and hydrate mindfully!
Greek yogurt without the guilt is now totally possible with Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt. There's zero preservatives, zero artificial sweeteners and zero fat in this yogurt. And there's also 25% less sugar than regular Oikos 0% greek yogurt. All those zeros still add up to BIG flavour and snacking satisfaction!
And finally, we've been able to get back a popular non-dairy item: Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream! If you're looking to replace regular sour cream with one that's vegan, dairy-free, kosher parve, gluten-free, lactose-free, milk-free, butterfat-free, cholesterol-free, non-GMO and halal (phew!) then look no further.
