Their WINE!! Chat Icon
Choc Cat Cookies
their crackers are great, forgot the name
Chicken Nuggets for DS
Lots of their pastas are really good
Organic cheese and PB crackers for the kids
Their veggies and meats


I don't go too often and go on my lunchbreak at work so sometimes hard to get a lot of the cold stuff, but their dinners are really good

I always buy new things from them. I love that store. I think my all time favorite item is their japanese fried rice in the frozen section. Its amazing. Even my husband loves it and most of the ingrediants are things he would never touch otherwise.
