Will I qualify for a free whole Empire chicken this year? Shop-Rite gives this bonus to people who spend $400 in preparation for their spring holidays. Last year I made it. Less sure about this year. Passover shopping has a way of adding up, typically to the tune of $200. For the past few trips to Shop-Rite I've been purchasing Kosher poultry and beef as it comes on sale. I've not hit the Passover seasonal shelves yet, have planned some menus, not hosting a Seder with attendance that requires enormous amounts of food. How much I will spend and what I will purchase remains uncertain as I prepare to fill my cart a little later. I have enough meat. I have spices, though to save freezer clutter, I did not freeze them this year. My OU Passover Guide arrived, reviewed briefly. Trader Joes is probably a better place to buy raw nuts for charoset and nusstorte. Produce can wait until the last minute. Semi-Perishable dairy is better obtained now. I use a lot of eggs. Get that with the produce. Gave up the evil soda and commercial cookies a few months ago, but Passover Certified Coca-Cola and seltzer have been seasonal staples forever. Usually get a box of coffee filters, some napkins, baggies and a box of storage bags. And see if the shankbones have come in yet. Take my time in the aisles. Don't fret about forgetting anything. There will be a second supermarket tour. And keep track of the receipt total.
