If you spot something at Odd Lots that you are interested in - grab it
right then. They make that old wheeze about "Unrepeatable offer ... "
come true. It really is close-out merchandise and when it's gone -
it's gone. I grabbed 35 quarts of Trappey's Red Devil Sauce for a buck
a jug at my local Big's a few years ago ... and, as I was on my way to
a weekly lunch with my chilli cook-off buddies I took it with. More
than doubled my $$$ and still had 6 quarts left.
Got a similar deal on 3 Diamonds Lump Crab Meat in the big cans and
cleared them out. Didn't share that deal, though. I'm nearly out and I
keep hoping ... but, that deal (99c/can) has never come back around.

Ahhhhh, the old Fox and Grapes stuff of NYS wines. Mayhap the apricot
fruitiness of the habs will cover the muskiness of the foxy grapes.
