Bargain guide, week beginning April 7th

And fully twenty-four hours overdue I finally get the thing posted. But it does have the Fry's information!

This second week in April is National Egg Salad Week: at the end of this posting I include a 2-Points-per-serving egg salad recipe. It is also National Garden Week. If you don’t have a garden this year, grow some cress on damp paper towels. Monday, the 12th, is National Licorice Day for those who enjoy licorice. For the rest of us too, I suppose.

Tomorrow is Milk In Glass Bottles Day – the sale of milk in glass bottles began in 1879. The average life-span of a milk bottle was 22.5 round trips (dairy to consumer to dairy), which is more use than we usually get out of a modern plastic jug.

April 7th: National Coffee Cake Day
April 8th: National Empanada Day
April 9th: National Chinese Almond Cookie Day
April 10th: National Cinnamon Croissant Day
April 11th: National Cheese Fondue Day
April 12th: Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day, National Licorice Day
April 13th: National Peach Cobbler Day
April 14th: National Pecan Day
