This is at Long's Drugs. I was there today at 2:00pm and they have stacks of boxes of canned pineapple!!!


I use pineapple in my chicken curry dish or just for eating from a bowl for dessert. You can mix it with other canned fruits.
You can mix crushed pineapple into jello. You can blend pineapple into your shakes
(If you have electricity to run your blender.)

The "Best by" date for these cans is 02 23 11

(I have found out that you can safely eat canned food that is past the "Best by" dates. BYU is doing a lot of research in this area. One lady doing the research ate food from a can that had expired 13 years earlier and it was fine: totally edible although the taste and nutrtious value had faded a little. Just make sure the can is not bulging.)

This pineapple is a great buy. You will never see this product cheaper. I love Del Monte, having worked at a Del Monte string bean processing plant several summers (this was in the late 60's). It was a wonderful place to work at!

These pineapples were grown and processed in the Phillipines. I heartily recommend getting some for your storage. I plan to go back there and get some more. I am going to buy 12 cans of sliced pineapple shrink wrapped onto a cardboard tray (That is how they are stacked in the aisle.) and put a bright red Christmas ribbon around it to give to our son Tommy's family for Christmas. Giving food storage items as gifts is a great idea if I do say so myself. Maybe I will see you at Long's this weekend! Happy shopping! Long's is at the Von's Center on the corner of Hesperia Rd. and Bear Valley Rd.

Peanuts are a great source of protein and fat (hence...calories). A handful of peanuts with a big drink of water will satisfy hunger. (This is a popular trick among dieters.)

Their dark chocolate bars are all on sale also. Duncan Hines Cake Mix 79 cents/box
If you use cake mix, this is the best!
