The 99 Cents Only Store Shopper



As I mentioned in the past, I love hitting up the 99 Cents Only store for unusual products or flavors that didn't quite work out in the mainstream. An early morning Easter run to the store resulted in these gems:

-- Limited Edition Carnival Flavors Skittles: Cotton Candy, Candy Apple, Bubble Gum, Red Licorice and Green Slushy flavored Skittles! Eat your heart out, Jelly Belly!

-- Mini Robin Eggs Milkshake, Strawberry flavor: From the makers of Whoppers. Malted milk candy, but with an artificial Strawberry finish.

-- Chex Mix, Apple Cinnamon flavor: It's like a breakfast version of the snack mix: Cinnamon Chex, Corn Chex, Apple Cinnamon Walnuts, Cranberries, Apple pieces, and yogurt-covered Chex.

-- Vanilla Creme Hershey's Kisses: Probably the most disappointing of the bunch. Like a Cadbury egg, just smaller.



Now, a bonus shopper tip: Target's line of baked chips, which includes flavors such as curry and Jamaican Jerk (above), are just $2 right now. The Jamaican Jerk is nice, with a kick that doesn't show up until you've scarfed down five or six.
