If you're a SuperTarget shopper, you know that the store often groups grocery close-outs on an end cap somewhere among the grocery aisles. If you're an eagle eye, you also know that these are often feeble mark-downs - 20 cents off a dollar, 30 cents off a couple dollars. But this morning, I caught one that was 50 percent off all items, and there were items worth picking up. They fell largely into the gourmet or budget categories, and many were ethnic foods, i.e. a bag of small dried red beans next to Ming Tsai lemongrass vinaigrette, canned green chiles and Iron Chef sesame-garlic sauce and glaze, Nestle canned crema and designer salsas. But also six-packs of 12-ounce bottles strawberry Gatorade and individual packets of mild taco meat seasoning and Pioneer biscuit mix. I made off with the aforementioned Ming Tsai dressing, Casa Fiesta no-fat refried black beans, reduced-sodium tamari soy sauce and toasted sesame seed oil. My junk-food Jones was sore tempted by the Old El Paso zesty ranch Taco Topper. But the grown-up inside my head said, "No." My SuperT is at Skillman and Abrams. |
