Many more bags on the floor, mostly Nature Made vitamins for which I used $78 in coupons and tremendous overage (I happened to have my stash of pdf coupons). The Wall of Cream Cheese at the Eola location included the salmon variety. Rachel gets a few, together with the Mentos gum and the cream cheese bricks. Got ten Papa Nicholas cinnamon hazelnut coffees for $2 each and lots of EO products. More smoked gouda (50¢ each?) and two cartons of the Stride gum Loverboy and Mom flavors. Shopper was looking at them and I mentioned the name. She said it was a nice idea for Mother’s Day (which, frankly, had not occurred to me). I said I thought it would be weird to ask someone how your Mom tasted. She looked at me funny. Some people are just strange.
Still spent $145 OOP. Ouch. My coffee stockpile is now rivaling Rachel’s! I also grabbed four more boxes of 60W incandescent bulbs, since they’re turning into a collector item (I only have one fixture that still uses them – the rest are CFLs).
What’s still in stock? The following were in sufficient quantity to predict they’ll be there tomorrow…
Lots of vitamins and supplements, both name brand and Safeway. Lots of cream cheese, regular, bricks, lite, whipped and some salmon. Lots of candy and gum. CD packaged in bags. Lots of pet products (shampoos, flea and tick meds, collars, etc.) including Hartz bird seed mixes. Many more produccts than at the Westchester location. My guess is this store has/had a large ethnic customer base because there were quite a few Hispanic, Kosher and Indian products. Person in line ahead of me had many bottles of wine, but I didn’t wander into that section so don’t know what they have. I picked up many artisan items that I would have passed by even a few weeks ago – like the EO stuff ($13+ shelf tags!). A few months ago Dominicks started carrying this line of majorly expensive organic socks & tights for children – they were something like $12 or more for toddler tights. I picked up a few pairs (and tie-tied socks) for about a buck each.
Please make sure to always check expiration dates on your cans and jars – hell, check ’em on everything! I had quite a few jars I put back with 2012 dates…
Which Dominicks do you speak of with the ethnic foods? Thanks for your groovy site as you blog how I speak.

The Dominicks is on Eola and New York in Aurora (3025 E. New York Street). I’ll say this much for Dominicks, they always had a much larger selection of “ethnic” products and were more willing to try out new companies – Jewel was never that good. Well, not unless you consider Shoppers Value a new line…
I agree! One of the only places to get the Panda Express sauces without hitting a PE.
THANKS! I sho’ appreciate the info. Gonna send the ball and chain.
