Snaps!

I'm so excited I can't stand it!

I'd discovered these cookies a couple of months ago at TJMaxx (in their gourmet food section) and loved them.

I loved them so much, that I ate almost the entire can on the drive home.

What?

It was a small can!

Anyway.....I looked for them every time I went to TJ Maxx, but never found any more.

Then Suzie Q and I went shopping Dec 22nd.

We were in Dillards....and what should be on display near the elevator?

*insert choir of angels singing*

I was thrilled beyond compare.

As I said to Suzie Q...."I thought I'd never see them again!"

Then I saw the price....$20.00 for a one pound can.

WTF?!?!

I couldn't bring myself to pay that.

Suzie could tell how much I wanted them and offered to buy them for me.

Now that's a true friend.

But I couldn't let her do it.

I knew they'd go on sale after Christmas.

Sure enough.....I went to the mall yesterday and they were 75% off!!!!

Yipee!!!!!

I bought four cans for the price of one!!!!
here are three of them on my kitchen counter

here is a close-up of the actual "tasty shortbread cookie blanketed in powdery sugar....inside discover a delightful little snap of peppermint....."

and not only are they tasty, but isn't that the cutest can you ever saw?!?!?

scroll back up and look at it again in case you forgot....

Oh!

and

Here is their website.




*sigh*

I love a bargain.....

  1. Not only a bargain, but what cute cannisters! I love the cannisters! I would display them somewhere in my kitchen. I'd have to knock a bunch of other stuff off the counter, but I'd find a place!

    curly mommy: I have considered using them as part of the decorations for a luncheon or shower. Wouldn't they be cute with floral arrangements in them?

  14. Those really ARE cute cannisters! And the cookies are cute, too! Not something I'd normally eat but I'd be willing to give it a try...although not at $20 a can.

  15. OK, the can is absolutely adorable. I'm not sure I'd like the cookie though. Not a big peppermint fan. I cannot believe people would pay $20 for cookies-that's crazy talk.

    Read the post below too. Your daughter's ring is beautiful!
