Hi, foodies, funny people, and other reading humans! I\u2019m Margaret, a new reviewer here, ready to help row the ship on this 3-hour tour into the charmed world of processed foods.<\/p>\n
While I hail from Nashville, TN, I recently moved up to New York, where I\u2019m working the midnight oil in hopes to attain my Master\u2019s in Dramatic Writing at NYU. In this fair Manhattan, I\u2019ve discovered the salted aroma of the street cart falafel, the joys of having an abundant supply of freshly made pickles, and the certain uninhibited celebration of variety in the supermarket aisles. It is with this celebration in mind that I step a hopeful foot into the door of The Impulsive Buy. <\/p>\n
During my childhood, I started living on a solid quantity of peanut butter, waffles, and Cheetos, and I\u2019ve lived a happy life ever since. As a result, I\u2019m an active supporter of yummy food. I appreciate a good cereal and am a master in the art of making the grilled cheese. I\u2019ve got quite a sweet tooth. And a salty tooth. And a crunchy tooth. I must warn you: I\u2019m not a fan of mushy canned vegetables (my apologies to the Green Giant). <\/p>\n
But wait\u2026what\u2019s that you say? The canned vegetable industry doesn\u2019t seem to be inundated with a demand for new products? <\/p>\n
Whew. That\u2019s a relief. <\/p>\n
Other than that, I\u2019m an equal opportunity taster, open to try a bit of anything once and give a sound assessment on its yumminess.<\/p>\n
So, with my left hand rested atop the great cookbook of Julia Child and my right hand raised to the sky, I promise to help row this TIB boat into the aisles of supermarket mysteries to assess the bounty of products, be they new, old, or yet-to-be-discovered, highlighting the buried goods and tossing out a fair warning for those swashbugglin\u2019 wannabes that I\u2019d be watchin\u2019 with a wary eye. So set the sail and hoist the mainstay! We\u2019re heading out to the supermarket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
