This is actually \/not\/ a good deal &#8211; as you can often get said package for $2.50 on sale at the supermarket &#8211; but I ran out of tea so I bought it.  I think I can use the tin for crafts (or to hold craft supplies), so it may be worth those extra 50 cents I paid for it.  But I&#8217;m not at all surprised that that particular item didn&#8217;t sell well at regular stores.<br \/>\nI also got <b>Kellogs Cocoa-peanut butter puffs<\/b> for $1 for a box, <b>Haagen Dazs Hawaiian Lehua Honey &#038; Sweet cream ice cream<\/b> and <b>Zambeedo <i>Creme de chocolat<\/i><\/b> ice cream.  Both are $1.50, I think.  I actually liked the sweet cream ice cream quite a bit.  It has an amazingly creamy texture, and a nice, light flavor.  There isn&#8217;t much honey to speak of, but when you get some mixed in with your ice cream, it&#8217;s quite nice.  I&#8217;d buy it again.  The same cannot be said about the Zambeedo ice cream, which leaves *much* to be desired.  First of all, it was melted and re-frozen (a not unusual problem with frozen products at Grocery Outlet), and second, it had a very, very light flavor, not at all chocolaty.  Again, it&#8217;s no wonder this product ended up here.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"vanillaextract.gif\" src=\"http:\/\/www.voxpublica.org\/vanillaextract.gif\" width=\"98\" height=\"150\" align=right>Finally, I got a 2-oz bottle of <b>McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract<\/b> for $3 (it sells for $11.50 at Safeway).  Alas, once I got home I realized that it contains corn syrup (?!!), so I won&#8217;t be buying it again.  Maybe that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s not selling well at the regular stores?<br \/>\nAnd that&#8217;s about it for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grocery Outlet is selling a branded tin that includes a 20-teabag package of Twinings tea (Lady Gray or English Breakfast) for $3.
