Good morning! On today's date in 1871 the Great Chicago Fire started and lasted for three days until it finally burned itself out. It left roughly 1 in 3 residents homeless, burned over 2000 acres of the city and killed about 300 people. What started out as a small barn fire eventually turned into a massive inferno!
As long as we're talking about things that are "great" and "hot"...do you want to hear about a new contest that Pepper's is putting on? Right now you can enter to win a Toshiba 43" Fire TV (is there a trend happening here?) by simply signing your receipt (along with your phone number) and depositing it in the draw box at the front doors. One lucky shopper will be taking this beauty of a prize home just in time for Christmas!
Bubby Rose's Bakery & Cafe started in Victoria in 2002 and has become a mainstay for locals and visitors alike. Among other things, they offer incredibly delicious sweet and savoury baked goods. And now you can purchase some of their pies and muffins at Pepper's! Varieties may vary from week to week but if you love this bakery or you just love great baked treats, make sure to take home something from Bubby Rose's!
Located in the same area at the front of the store, the Deli Department's cold case (Bill Curtis, are you listening?) across from the first till, you'll find the perfect snack. More specifically, you'll find The Keith Kitchen Perfect Bar available in Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter, Coconut Peanut Butter and just plain Peanut Butter. They're the original refrigerated nutrition bar (but can be kept at room temperature for up to a week) chock full of whole food protein, organic superfoods (more than 20!) and organic honey. Ranging in protein content from 15g-17g per bar, these awesome tasting snacks are low on the glycemic index so you won't get a blood sugar spike! You'll simply get a delicious and satisfying snack that will keep you going for hours!
"Libre" means "free" in both French and Spanish. Therefore, it makes sense that Libre Naturals, a BC, family owned company, would be free from the top 10 food allergens and gluten. And if you prefer getting your protein from plant-based sources, get ready to be happy. Because new Libre Naturals Plant-based Protein Bars are here and available in Vanilla Cinnamon and Chocolate Cacao flavours! 100% vegan, these unique snacks meet all school and university requirements, contains 10g of protein and are full of whole grains, seeds and healthy fats. Perhaps the Perfect Bar has met its match!
Another new product, arriving just in time for baking season, is Cuisine Camino Baking Chocolate. This fair trade, semi-sweet and organic chocolate contains 56% cacao and is also free of priority allergens so you only have to worry whether you made enough brownies, not about whether little Sally can safely gobble them up!
It just wouldn't be autumn if we didn't offer something that contained pumpkin spice. So for a limited time only, you can purchase Olympic Krema Pumpkin Spice Yogurt from our Dairy Department! At 9% milk fat, you can easily satisfy your craving for the flavours of pumpkin and spice and get it in a thick and rich yogurt!
The wildly popular Liberte brand of dairy provides Pepper's with a vast array of yogurts, organic butter, creme fraiche, etc, etc. So when we heard that we could also add Liberte 2% Cottage Cheese to the mix, we did! High in protein and low in fat, it's the creamy and delicious flavour that will keep you coming back for more!
October is just the right time for new Angie's Boom Chicka Pop Candy Corn Flavoured Kettle Corn to hit the shelves! You'll impress everyone at this year's Halloween party by serving this sweet and uniquely flavoured treat! It's made with non-GMO popcorn and it makes the perfect gluten-free snack!
And finally, if fruit flies are a problem in your home due to the kitchen scrap compost pail sitting on the counter, Bin Breeze All-Natural Green Bin Powder is here to save the day! This Victoria-made product eliminates both fruit flies and odours and it also soaks up wet waste! Make your bin a breeze with Bin Breeze!
Don't forget that it's not too late to order a fresh turkey for Thanksgiving. Simply stop by the Meat Department or call the store (250) 477-6513 to place your order! Until next time have a great week and take good care!
