Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

Not my issue, if you spend all your money in the Aldi Aisle of Shame!

I've learned the healthiest options of the supermarket is in the far corners of the building, the fattening unhealthy foods are in the middle aisles at eye level and shopping carts are bigger than before to create a false sense to some that they can buy more because there is more room in the cart. By all means, I avoid going to the supermarket when hungry. Essential are at far ends of the store and one has go walk through a number of aisles ( store knowing you will buy this and that ) to get to the essential aisles. Aldi doesn't have it but I've enjoyed the free food samples at Publix . I also enjoy walking around the food courts of malls when 10-15 staff by their respective food location giving free samples of this and that.

Most of my store shopping is done in the "middle" aisles as a majority of produce comes from the farm market as do eggs and dh knows the names of the dearly departed. That changes once the market closes for the season until everything is back in season. Right now the farm market has eggs, local hot house veggies and a limited amount of early greens from the fields

I look forward to the mail every day. (I keep holding out hope that some day, someone will send me a million dollar check in the mail.)

You haven't received it yet
I knew I should have gone for tracked delivery

Yeah . Healthy food at the corners is just another urban myth (or mythter). I have a good friend with over three decades of retail experience in some of the biggest names in the sector. It doesn't happen like described.

I'm more "rural" so I get quite a few deliveries by mail not to mention most people I know still mail cards

I mail a total of 14 cards to friends and family (mostly family). I have mixed feelings about it. I love getting cards but it is expensive to send them. Relatively speaking. The last couple of years I have purchased the cards at the Dollar Store. That alone saved me about $55.00. I actually send more American Greetings e-cards then real ones the rest of the year. Those I get acknowledgements from whereas the regular cards all I hear are crickets.

I've been waiting longer than you and I am getting really close to giving up!

My daughter just made Strawberry Preserves on Saturday. I had my first of the season Strawberries yesterday. In Vermont that never happened until near the end of May.

The weather does seem a trifle crazy this year. Even though the sun has arrived here (as opposed to rain ) it seems colder than it was in march

It has been a weird winter here in Raleigh. A little cooler than usual overall but nothing extreme. I think it hit in the twenties only a couple of day (thanks @MinnieM123) but a lot more rain than usual. Saturday it was 86 degrees and Sunday was just a little over 54 degrees F.

Then apparently you have not been in the supermarket in the US or are you playing an April fools?

In my neighborhood , some homeowners get pretty decorative with Christmas decor spicing up their mailbox.

Oh I'm sorry. I defer to your obvious decades of experience in that field. And please stop using the laughing emoji inappropriately or I will complain to the moderators.

Your feedback of healthy food at corners of USA supermarkets as an urban myth is actually comical and incorrect along with your sarcasm.

Thought I'd share about the grocery stores in my area -- it's about a 50/50 split around here.

Some of the product placement depends upon the "specific" store only -- and my guess is that this follows suit, regardless of what U.S. location or overseas, we're looking at.

In my area, there are 4 different supermarket companies, and a few have multiple locations within 15 miles, due to the more populated urban settings.

Two companies (Whole Foods & Stop & Shop) put all the technically "healthy" stuff (veggies, fruit) at the very front of the store. The other 2 companies put those in less visible locations (only one of them, puts it at the end of the store).

My preference: I like the stores with the unhealthy, impulse buy stuff right at the front -- my kind of shopping!

That’s a moving the goal posts attempt

Not at all. Merely an attempt to reference that your confidence in your own infallibility is not only not conducive to conversation, but anti-social as well.

Henceforth, I will make no.attempts.to engage with you.

Still in denial that healthy food is at corners of the supermarkets ( Winn Dixie, Piggly Wiggly, Publix, etc) - gotcha ya The Horatio misdirection that you post is moving the goal posts attempt. To support a poster who is clearly incorrect is your call.

The cheaper items is the buy 1 get 1 free tables in front of the stores at Publix. One tip is look at the expiration dates. A number of them expire within a week to a month . Whole Foods customers are a totally different mindset. Not surprising healthy items at front and I also enjoy the immense health and beauty aisle with a number of hard to find items. That aisle even smells so fresh and refreshing and puts one in a relax mood to shop. Racoon may want to read your post also since he believes his friend that healthy food at US supermarkets corners of the store is an urban myth.

The Hamlet quote was a reference to your entire posting manner, not just your current supermarket argument.

I'm not going to waste the effort to explain it to you any further.
