My wife and I decided to take a trip and check out the new Wal-Mart Neighborhood store that opened up a few blocks away. Boy were we in for a surprise, it was a grocery store!

Once we entered the store and figured out our mistake, we decided to take a look around, turns out it was cheaper than Fry’s, Albertsons, and Safeway. So our interest was peaked, we could finally find Sam’s Club prices without the bulk. As we wandered around the store noticing the ways we could save money, we entered the produce section. Everything was cheaper than the stores we currently frequent and not by a few cents, but by dollars.

We started looking through the leaf vegetables in the produce section and my wife proclaimed “Jason Swiss Chard”. OK this must sound strange, but here’s the scoop. When I grew up there were a few vegetables that were staples in our diet: Cucumbers, Zucchini, Artichokes, Lettuce, Carrots, Corn, Radishes, and of course Swiss Chard. My mom spent her free time growing them in our garden and these vegetables bring back found memories of Mom’s all you can eat plates and Dad’s grilling.

Of course I bought a bundle and can’t wait to steam it up, but the memories will last a lot longer than the bitter greens will tantalize my taste buds.
