Groceries in SoWal -- better get them before Friday

[Smiling JOe]

Just a reminder that the full-season is upon us, and crowds should be making their way to the beach on Friday. They will hit the grocery store starting on Friday, and by Sunday at noon, your selection of chips, cheese, bread, beer, and milk will be very limited. So, hit Publix earlier in the week, or be ready to try products which are not your usual cup of tea.

Per the staff at Publix and the liquor store, if you haven't bought it on Thursday, you WILL be SOL!

Here they come...

Stocking up at Publix today...

I won't venture near there again until Monday or later. Pitying my poor family who are arriving Saturday and joining the melee to stock their rental for the week.

Some other places that will be jammed, to their benefit:
-Seagrove Market Cafe
-Angelina's
-Wild Olives
-Bud and Alley's
-Destin (eek!)

Me, I'm going to stay near the house and do some chores, ride my bike a little, catch the free show Fri nite at Seaside, and maybe Little Freddie King Sat afternoon at Sundog.

 

[Gypsea]

That's a good reminder. Thanks SJ!

I cannot even fathom what Destin will be like this weekend. I'm getting a migrane just thinking about it. I'm guessing it will take around 30 minutes just to get from Gulf Shore Drive to the bridge. This is one weekend I'm glad I'm NOT down there.

SJ, it's time for the season of your favorite sport--dodge the abandoned buggy parked in the middle of the aisle.

"Hurricane Turon" making a beeline to the gulf coast. Batten down the hatches! Hope it's a Cat 5.

I just got back from Publix. Easy in, easy out, lots of parking, and about 63 checkout ladies and baggers bored to death (today). Success!

What abandoned buggies, as in people leaving their baskets and saying forget it, I will wait until another day! Probably won't be one to be found to be abandoned.
