On the day after Easter, Patty, Bob, and I experienced a variety of grocery shopping experiences! We started at Wegman's in Northboro, MA (Near Worcester)! This was our first time at Wegman's. They had an extensive hot and cold buffet where you paid about $8 per lb. to either take home or eat the food there. (http://www.wegmans.com) Thankfully, it was a "regular" grocery store where they didn't overcharge for everything!
We then shopped at Trader Joe's in Shrewsbury, MA! All of us were familiar with this store! The food was a little more gourmet than your average grocery store, but their prices are usually better than Whole Foods, Fresh Market, and Earth Fare.
After Trader Joe's, we visited the nearby Moe's Southwest Grill for lunch! Bob and I had many experiences there, but it was Patty's debut! We had top of the line burritos! Unlike at the Moe's restaurants near us in the Cleveland area, they charged one price for chicken, steak, pork, ground beef, or tofu! They also didn't participate in Moe Monday, where your burrito, chips, and soda were bundled into a bargain price! I had pork! It was very filling!
After lunch, we went to the Price Rite grocery store in Worcester, MA (Near Greendale Mall)! It is a discount grocery store, similar to Aldi and Save a Lot, but they have more name brands than the aforementioned stores! It was new to all of us! Patty enjoyed the store, but I need a second visit to give a fair opinion! (http://www.priceritesupermarkets.com)
We then went home and relaxed! Dan investigated the TV antenna because we lost the Boston CBS and My Network TV affiliates, as well as the secondary PBS affiliate and its subchannels on Sunday just before The Masters Green Jacket ceremony! The antenna was fine, so Dan wisely checked the Internet to see if there was another problem! As it turns out, the TV transmitter tower was knocked over, so those without cable or satellite service lost the aforementioned stations, as well as the ABC affiliate (briefly), from Sunday evening to Tuesday Afternoon, when the affected stations connected with the primary PBS affiliate's transmitter. I was happy when the stations returned! If this were a sign for Dan and Patty to get cable, this should have been it! It wasn't! Dan hasn't caved yet!!
Eventually, we enjoyed some leftover Fettucine Alfredo with Chicken and Broccoli for dinner! We then watched The Hangover: Part II. (Originally, "highlighting" and "underlining" were not functioning.) It was quite amusing! We then relaxed the rest of the evening.
Don't worry, the action heats up soon!
