A walk around some great local markets reveals a great stock up on Thanksgiving and in general holiday products. Plus lots of fall products and locally grown items continue to make their presence known. This week we take a look at The Anderson’s, Monnettes on Reynolds, Walt Churchill’s Market, and Fresh Market.
Let’s start with the Calphalon warehouse sale. Now is definitely the time to replace old cookware. Plus MacQueens cider in single serving containers, seafood sausage and sockeye salmon, loose Yukon Gold potatoes, and a whole host of the fall favorites. The Anderson’s is getting ready for the long weekend and the holiday season. Did we mention the Calphalon sale?
