Last day before STT

Heading back to STT tomorrow. So far I've wistfully gazed at the produce at Whole Foods, cruised the olive bar and said my goodbyes. Ate Ben & Jerry's for $2.50 a pint. Went to the bank, was greeted with a smile and out of there in 3 minutes total. Other than one Krispy Kreme on the way to the airport, is there anything I'm missing?

BTW, all the hassle there is well worth it... it gets boring here!!

OK, sounds like you been here, done that!

For the cost of baggage@ $25/bag, 1st bag $17, we just brought back 20 racks of lamb we got for $6/lb.($17/lb. here), 40 # of Maine lobster tail & claw meat @ $4.25/lb.(I think around $22/lb. here, if you could get it).
around 7 of those Swiss rolls/brownies/cakes from the dollar store($4.99 here, even @ Kmart).
4 gallons(Tins) of olive oil @ $12/gal.($15/qt/litire here or $60/gal.)& all kinda other stuff!
We have a full pallet coming next week as well!

Unless it`s steeply discounted, we won`t be buying here for quite some time!
We learned how to long term provision from our boating days.
Make the most of the cheap stateside prices!!

Sorry, I had to add 6 Gwaltney Hot. Pork Sausage 16oz.for $1.19, $3.19 @ Pueblo, $4.99 @ Foodcenter!
We`ll be using some of those for Thanksgiving stuffing!
