That one’s okay, but it’s pretty “yorky” if you follow. Classy suburbanites such as us drop in on the hoi polloi at the La Canada Flintridge Big Lots, 2243 Foothill Boulevard. That’s where I snapped the catalogue shot you see.

And while Cybele is correct, it does takes some bravery to put a closeout purchase into your mouth, I’ve been doing it for years. You do end up kissing some frogs, but you can also find worthwhile imports that never took off, lowbrow third world imitations of US Corporate brands, and crazy-assed inventions of said corporations.

I had no idea that anything edible could be carried out of Big Lots. Dark Chocolate is one of my vices, I’ll have to check it out.

BTW, I tried chocolate sauce on Green Tea Ice Cream this weekend, a definite winning combo.

Hmm, I applaud your courage.

Actually, canned goods or stuff in a jar might be okay.

I recent bought a 10 year old roll of lifesavers at the 99 cent store in Hollywood … and some chocolates at Big Lots that were more like chalklots.

Dangit … now I’m curious! I’m off to Big Lots on my lunchbreak tomorrow.
