Yes , for plants. The disposable bags of soil with fertilizer essentially. I just ended up using boxes and mixing the soil myself. I did like the disposable grow bag solution.

I can't see that style of grow bag on amazon, home depot or lowes. In the UK , pound stores sell them, but dollar stores are not quite the same.

I brought some kingsmill crumpets back last month. We're 2 (packs) for a pound in Tesco so I bought a number with a good BB date and froze them once back in TN. I love them but most of all they are working well as finger food for my 10 month old. Great texture for biting and gummy chewing. Wish I could get decent crumpets here.

I also brought back some chocky Gu puds (mum was convinced I'd be poisoned so I don't advocate others doing the same. But I wasn't poisoned and I haven't found their equal)

Thank you. I'll have to try them.

On a tangent: I have to say, fresh produce in season can be heavenly. Bought ten ears of corn for $3 in Publix today and it's to die for.

Or 1000 for $9.99 at Costco:

I think we got 1,600 (2 × 800 bottles, twin pack) for about $12 from BJ's three years ago.

That's a lot of acid indigestion for $12
