Fry's Food and Drug

A few purchases to make early in the morning. I got all wrapped up for the cold weather (34 degrees here) and made my way to the store. The nice thing about shopping early is that there are hardly any other shoppers and easy fast checkout. Hit the deli area for some Boar's Head products, fruit and produce. I'm sure I will be back soon as I always am.
I used the self check out and was done in a blink. Shared parking and WiFi.

Since we were away I had emptied the fridge. We were totally out of food so a trip to the store was necessary.
My usual first stop is the delicatessen where I get some Boar's Head products. New staff greeted me and helped me with my order. Raspberries were on sale. My nephew gave me a boatload of multi grain tortillas to take home. I decided that some street tacos sounded like the right thing. Picked up some avocado, tomatoes, lettuce and ground turkey. Perfect! Added some Bella mushrooms to the mix and they turned out good.
Thanks Fry's! Good meal!

Today the list involved getting a watermelon, broccoli, salmon and anything else on sale. Grapes and blueberries were the deals of the day. Yum, I love summer fruits. I found some large beef steak tomatoes too. I included two photos of Impossible and Beyond Sausage plant based "meats." Both are good if you're looking for a meat alternative.
There were a few marked down items on two tables but I didn't see anything I needed.
I did my usual self check out. There are usually two to three staff members working here to help with any issues. I didn't have any problems.

It was eerily quiet here. Only a handful of shoppers around. I needed a bit of food since we had been away.
Strawberries are the deal of the week. You have to use the digital coupon to get the price. Most of the time the digital coupon works but it is a nuisance. Double check the pricing as you are checking out. Sometimes the coupon doesn't always work. I am a regular here so most clerks know me. All you have to do is speak up and they will have the issue resolved.

I did my usual Senior day shopping. I purchased my usual beginning in the produce section. Blackberries were on sale for 99 cents each. Nice! I bought two of them. Every refrigerated item went into the fridge.
Fast forward to Thursday when I pulled the berries out to wash them. One packet was fine but the other looked like a science experiment with mold on the bottom. Ick! I gathered my receipt and the moldy culprit to return them. It was no problem and I got a replacement. I opened the packet to make sure they were fresh.
Thanks Fry's for the exchange with no questions.

I went to Fry's for some Boar's head deli meat and Almond milk. I found both easily since this is my store of choice. I also got some sparkling water and cereal. As I went to pay for my items, I noticed a cart with many markdowns on couscous and black beans and rice. They were not damaged and the sell by date is next year. Score for me. Don't you love a good deal?
Visiting the store often pays off. I've noticed by a day or so, the markdowns are no longer available.

My friend mentioned that grapes were on sale this week at Fry's. They are one of my favorite fruits and for 89 cents/pound, that is a great deal! I bought two bags; one for us and the other to take to a retreat. I know they will all get eaten up. I'm also a bit lotion crazy and got a digital coupon for $1.50 off Aveeno baby lotion. That's quite a savings and my dermatologist recommends it. I use it after my showers and my goats milk lotion is used for my hands and feet. So get your coupon online and join in on the savings.

Lately I have found some marked down items especially in the produce section. I find that if you eat them immediately, no problem. Today I found some marked down mangoes. My mouth started watering at the thought of salsa or a mango salad. I also found baby kale on sale so instant salad!
I went to the self check out line and couldn't get something to scan. A staff member had the same issue so he put it in my bag as a freebie. So nice of him. I am there quite often so I don't really think the store lost money. Thank you Fry's!

The first Wednesday of the month is Senior day. If you are 55 years or better, you qualify for the senior day discount. It is a nice bargain on mostly everything in the store except alcohol.
I arrived at the store about 7:30 AM. There was hardly anybody there
which made shopping quick and easy.
I usually hit the deli first for some Boar's head deli meat. It is usually crowded at the deli so shopping here immediately was a bonus. I continued going up and down the aisles until shopping was completed.
I had a coupon for a particular food product. After seeing the product I could not eat some of the ingredients. Rather than toss the coupon, I act as the "coupon fairy" leaving it by the product for someone else. I do that quite often.
I checked out with no wait.
Off to the next stop.

Fry's seems like one of my second homes since I am here so often. It is close shopping and I like to get much of my produce fresh. Sometimes you just feel like you need something sweet. I splurged on a mini Lava cake made by Ghirardelli's chocolate. Little dark chocolate chips on top. Yummy! Could it be any more decadent? I had a sliver after dinner and was in heaven. After I ate it I remembered that I should have zapped it in the microwave so that the chocolate could drip out. Oh well, it sure was good the way I had it.

Today I went to Fry's to get a few items in the produce section. I saw my favorite Simple Truth plant based cauliflower dip, cilantro with jalapeño flavor. So good and just enough kick yet not overwhelming or sweat breaking.
I was also happy to see more options in the ice cream section. They now carry frozen desserts for lactose intolerant. This dessert is made by Oatmilk, Sea salt caramel. I tested it already and it is creamy and delicious. If you closed your eyes, you'd think you were having ice cream.
What a treat! Try it, you'll like it!

Usually find what I need. The. Deli can get busy. Wish they had a number system but everyone is good about taking turns. Some Fry's have order machines but not this one. Today service was quick. Friendly staff who are helpful.
