Where did my favorite crackers go?

We moved them!  Sorry for the inconvenience.  We move things around sometimes.  And believe me, it is just as frustrating for team members as it is for everyone else. 

I’ve been shopping in the Brighton store for years and do not like having to search for something when I am in a hurry.  So I try to take a look around the sales floor and scope out new products when I have time on my shift.  I decided to do that today and found a couple cool things.

In the cracker aisle, I noticed that the 365 Organic Water crackers - delicious with cheddar cheese and apple butter! - were moved to the top shelf.   There are now a bunch of new products on the shelf they used to occupy.  I was particularly intrigued by the Mondovino brand savory wine crackers which are meant to be eaten with wine and cheese.  According to the package, the Spicy Moroccan Seed and Nut crackers pair well with red wine.  They recommend the Black Olive crackers be eaten with white wine and the Creme Fraiche and Spring Onion flavor is meant to be served with an off-dry Rose.  I know what I’ll be serving at my next cocktail party.

Products were also shuffled around in the cookie section.  In case you are an Annie’s Bunny Grahams addict like myself, bring your knee pads with you because they now sit on the bottom shelf -  low enough for a lovely little toddler to fondle. 

You may need to ask a team member for a step stool if you wish to purchase Loacker Quadratini wafer crackers.  They have been relocated to the very top shelf.  I’m only 5 foot 2 but was able to flick a package of the Dark Chocolate flavor off its perch and catch it in my arms.  (I don’t recommend this strategy for people with slow reflexes - in which case, you should seek assistance.) 

I was excited to see a new Late July product: Mini Sandwich cookies.  The product features cute endangered animal cookies to highlight the fact that 10% of the profits are donated to the Jane Goodall Institute.  Late July cookies and crackers have always been transfat free and organic.  Now that they have teamed up with such a great cause, I may have to get back into the milk-and-cookies-before-bed habit.   In spite of the down economy, I still want to be charitable.  I particularly like the idea of giving when it means something yummy to eat in return.
