V-8

I love the stuff.

TJ's is invading Colorado sometime in the near future. Can't wait to hear what all the fuss is about.

The fuss is that they have a great selection of good foods, many packaged under their own label and less expensive than elsewhere.

While not a fan of their produce or fresh meats, I love these things:

cheese
bread
premade foods
juices
cereal
coffee
dairy products, including great yogurts and cream
some of their frozen foods
cookies
crackers
nut butters
condiments and sauces
dried fruits and nuts

and

fabulous wine selection, including 2-buck chuck, the Charles Shaw varieties

Plus they are a friendly and fun place to shop with good music and great employee attitude.

I only get there every couple of months, but when I do, I really stock up.

OMG.... mention anything cheese and I am there!!

I buy it by the pounds because I can't get any decent cheese where I generally live.

I think I might apply for a p/t job for the discount.

is they unload the shopping cart for you. When you're old and creaky, that matters.

They have a number of products that I really like. However, it's not a one stop shopping store. Their inventory is limited. So I go there periodically and stock up.

Plus every day they have yummy samples.

I have it every morning with lemon and sometimes for an afternoon pick me up. I'm not a big fan of the fruity versions but my kids love them, especially the Lite Peach Mango.

There's a pomegranate something that I like a lot.

I now have stuff at home to use but it's still a good reminder. Here is th link from E&F:

I refuse to disclose the dust covered exercise equipment less than 20 feet away from this computer!!

I still add some Tabasco and freshly cracked black pepper, but it's about as perfect as you get.

It makes the perfect snack alongside some crackers and cheese. Two servings of vegetables with your snack! Whee!

I've been trying to have more than one glass a day. The potassium content is very substantial.

I drink the low sodium variety.

It also makes a great base for gazpacho.

it's been awhile since I had any V-8, but I remember it as very salty.

and my younger sister swears by it.

it was pretty good. I just went with the ingredients listed on the label and played around with the blender until I got something I liked.

Then I played around with some more flavors.

We were out hiking on Monday and I told my husband that it wouldn't "be a hike" without V8. We've been packing it forever it seems .
