She knows everything and keeps that store running like a well oiled machine. I will bypass the one in Tinley Park (10 mins from my house) to go to this one (50 mins from my house) just to see Renee. This store is big compared to when it was in Lansing and very clean and organized.

This place is amazing. Instead, of buying dried fruit, and trail mix, from the grocery store, I go…read morehere and buy everything in bulk. Dried pineapple, apricots, banana, apple, cranberries, and multiple types of raisins. The prices are reasonable, the selection is amazing. Two side notes; I started buying the old school candy from here and making small bags for Christmas stocking stuffers. Also, they have these pinwheel gift containers. I buy chocolate covered raisins, dried fruit, and pistachios, put them in the pinwheel containers, and bring them as gifts anytime someone invites me over for dinner.

The cookies from Butterfingers bakery are a seasonal highlight. I volunteer with an organization…read morethat hosts a holiday appreciation open-house each year featuring THE BEST cookie platter from this family-run bakery. From traditional Christmas cookies to new twists on the classics (sugar cookie with crushed peppermint pieces) these cookies are not overly sweet, crisp, and delectably melt-in-the mouth with the perfect proportion of textured-add ins. I have even been known to take a couple in a plastic bag to savor later. In the last few years, cookie chains have sprung up, bringing with them cult followings for their elaborate, often hubcap-sized tricked out confections and rotating flavors. Against this backdrop, Butterfingers stays true to the classics, turning out quality products, year after year, that stir nostalgia and evoke positive emotions, much like you-know-who's madeleines. (Sorry...I swore I could make it through a cookie discussion without mentioning Proust, but I couldn't.)

Cost Cutting: When it comes to a sweet craving, a quick snack Gummies have become popular. And…read morethere are a wide varieties available. Recently I was shopping picking up odds and ends (in a discount store) and I came across Albanese Gummies. And I must admit, even though I'm conscious of sugar and salt intake, I do partake on occasion, LOL. Albanese Gummies come in 12 flavors. They also come Sugar Free. The Albanese group also makes Chocolate products. In today's shopping world I've become very alarmed with the continuous increase in prices from the big retail chains, groceries. So I got into the habit of discount shopping. The next time you crave a comfort food, a bit of sweetness I would shop at a discount store first to see what's available.

This is an essential stop for me anytime I'm traveling through the region. Bulk bins a plenty and…read moreyou can sample and choose how much you want of anything....gummies, nuts, chocolate covered goodies and more.
