Poor Joe, the asst. grocery manager... he was coming out of the back with a cart early this morning when I spotted the Carb Options logo and told him to stop! I was looking for the regular flavor Carb Options barbecue sauce that wasn't on the shelf. His truck was filled with Hickory flavor, which I already had. But I was estatic nevertheless, and I'll try it this evening I also grabbed Carb Options Skippy (much more expensive than Simply Jif), a couple of Carb Options Ragu cheese sauces, and a Carb Options Lawry's steak sauce.
Joe told me to let everyone know that they are setting up an endcap display at the end of aisle 3 with all of the Carb Options product (I have no idea if it is the same endcap in your Shaws.)
While this was going on, he also showed me this other marinade called Badia Mojo Marinade. It is on special for 99 cents at Shaws for 20 fl oz. (GREAT price... if it tastes good.) There is no artificial coloring or sugar added. Total carbs is 2.5 grams per two tablespoons. They told me it was good to marinate chicken. I'll let you know.
(Not to slam anyone): Trying one carb bar and condemning them all is like tasting sewage and then condemning all water including mountain springs. I hate a lot of those cardboard, dry, odd-can't-figure-out-what-nasty-flavor bars too, but a few (at least) are good. Advantage S'mores is like a candy bar. Stay openminded; many of us brought up on saccharine never thought we would drink diet anything, either.
Love and peace.
