This week, I have a funny story to tell you; as I was stocking the banana display a customer approaches me and says: “Sarah said I should come see you,” pointing to our friendly floor clerk stocking the Wall of Values. As a puzzled look came over my face, he added: “I have a serious case of the winter blues”. I smiled and knew exactly how to help. With skies predominantly cloudy, and gloomy weather prevailing for most of us this time of the year, feeling down and slight symptoms of depression can be common. I’m not a doctor, but I know that a good diet can help. Lobster, turkey, spinach, bananas, eggs, dark chocolate, asparagus, pineapples, tofu, cherries and cottage cheese; these items contain high levels of the feel good chemicals tryptophan and serotonin; they might be worth a try if you’re feeling blue!
Okay, now that story time is over; let’s talk deals. Roma and Hot-House Beefsteaks will be your best tomato value this week; larger sized peaches, white peaches and plums are arriving fresh every day with incredible savings. My favorite special this week will be eggplant, if you haven’t tried it before, now is a good time to. While raw it may have a somewhat bitter taste; once cooked it becomes incredibly tender and develops a rich and complex flavor. If you’re looking for suggestions on what veggies to pair it with, just ask of any of us in the produce department. And if you’re feeling blue, stop by so I can point you to some good veggies and fruits. 
Now, before I go, I’m not going to ask you to be my Valentine; but I will say that we absolutely LOVE working for you. See you at the store!
