As often happens in my travels, I have learned that exotic things discovered elsewhere also exist at home. First I noticed that my HEB has a whole display of chocolate-covered goodies. They were even in the same kind of plastic containers we had gotten. I looked carefully and didn't find dark chocolate-covered dried cherries (my favorite), though.
Then I noticed that my HEB also has a bunch of chocolate-covered goodies in the bulk section, although my favorite is not there, either. Dark chocolate-covered pistachio nuts are there, though.
Today we saw that Sun Harvest also has a bunch of chocolate-covered goodies in their bulk section. And they even had dark chocolate-covered dried cherries. On sale. So I got some more. And tasted them. They are just as tasty as the Trader Joe's cherries.
But what about the price? After all, the best thing about Trader Joe's is they have things that are good at good prices. With my 12-ounce container from Trader Joe's costing 4.49, that turns out to be the same as the sale price of $5.99/pound at Sun Harvest today. However the usual Sun Harvest price is $7.99.
