Got a Wegman's nearby? Their olive bar is a dangerously addictive thing.

Exactly what I've been buying for $3.08 at Ralphs. I found an online
source that sells those (yes, Reece's) for about $3.25 for a *10*-ounce
jar. Haven't ordered any yet, but only because I've been in and out and
haven't wanted them to come when I'm away for two or three days.

I just finished another bottle last night. I confessed I sipped *just a
little* of the juice, too. Little bottles like that have never lasted
more than a day an a half here. Every time I'm near the fridge I
remember them. 🙂

I'm happy to have been part of that. Enjoy!

Oh, and a reminder: from my experience, if you can't find Reese's, at
least shoot for the jars with the smallest olives -- I've had larger
ones and they seem to have about the same amount of anchovy so that the
olive pretty much covers the anchovy's taste.

Espanola" Cost about $3.99 per can.

If you live near a Wegman's store, you owe it to yourself to check it out.
Not like any supermarket you've ever been in.
