Dear Food Lover,

Happy New Year! We hope you've enjoyed the holidays and are looking forward to a year of fantastic possibilities. To kick off the start of new things, the grocery department is excited to bring you three items that are completely new to us. For all of our loyal readers out there, you'll be the first to hear about them!

If you've ever sat down with a really great bag of potato chips, you know the saying is right: you can't stop at just one. That's exactly how we felt when we tried Tyrrell's hand-fried potato chips. Read about this UK-based company in our first article.

Our second feature is Saratoga spring water. The company has a long and rich history of bottling cool, pristine water, both in sparkling and still versions. Read our second article to learn more about them.

With the weather outside being frightful, it's wonderful to sit down to a movie and a big bowl of popcorn, isn't it? Well, if you've always craved something greater than just the flavor of butter on your popcorn, we've found it for you in Dale and Thomas' popcorn. Read about them in the third article.


Frozen and Dairy
Our Frozen and Dairy department decided to do something a little different and bring you two of our most popular items instead; now that we have a new website, we certainly can't go too long without acknowledging them!

The first is our Petit Suisse, a soft, creamy, pudding-like cheese that comes in individual cups. If you've never had the pleasure of trying them before, read this article to learn more about them. Please note: due to shipping issues and the need to bring it in fresh, Petit Suisse will not be available in stores until mid-January. It sells out quickly, so when it does become available, don't wait to buy!

Superbowl Sunday will be here soon; are you ready? While you're in the frozen food section, check out FreeBird party wings in "rotisserie" and "buffalo." They're tender, expertly flavored, and easy to prepare. Our last article tells more.

We're looking forward to a brand new year full of exciting and delicious products! Check back with us next month to read about our features for February!
