Eat & Swig

I know what you’re thinking. I do – you’re wondering what kind of hack chef tells people about cheap products from Big Lots and calls them gourmet? THIS hack chef, that’s who! I may make fabulous meals every day for well-to-do foodies, but I live on a budget. A pretty tight one, too, which makes discount stores helpful. Recent trips to the St. Matthews Big Lots for bargain toilet paper and legal pads have led me to discover some rather delicious and high-quality products for pretty prices. And I’d like to share them with you now, because, well, I like you!

I will admit that I have to look hard to find items that are great here, but every now and then, I discover a real gem hiding innocently on a shelf. The catch is that when the product is gone, it’s gone! So, go buy these items while you can. Please. Otherwise, I’ll be here with 30 chocolate bars and enough olive oil to take a bath in. Hmm… an olive oil bath doesn’t sound like a bad idea! I’d be REALLY soft and Italian guys would probably like me more… You had better beat me to the store. :)
