My local grocery store, the Greenwood Market, is closing its doors on Saturday.
The store inventory is being liquidated. There's not much left on the shelves. The baking supplies are now reduced 40% and they have a bunch of Packages of Ova Easy, probably 30 or so. If you are in the neighborhood, get the best deal you'll ever see on the best dried eggs out there. The store is located at NW 85th ST. and 3rd Avenue NW in Greenwood.
Thanks for 18 years of excellent groceries and people, GM, we'll miss you.

Too bad on the store closing.
I remember "neighborhood" type of grocery stores as well as the corner drug stores growing up. I'm amazed there are any left.
Apparently soon to be one less now.

Hmm, I like eggs, I just acquired a 2.5 ounce frying pan, Greenwood is on my way home, and I love a bargain.

Those things are pretty good. Tastes as close to real eggs as anything I've tried.

That GM is not closing because it is not a viable enterprise--it totally is. The building is being demolished because Fred Meyer needs to build another one of their crappy superstores. I guess having the one at the other end of Ballard's not enough.

Go 5 blocks west to Chuck's 85th. They always have it in the bottle, and often on tap. Drink it there or get a growler to go. Chuck's rules.
All is not lost.

I went to Greenwood Market on my way home. They have some nice bargains. I bought six packages of Ova Easy, which are one dozen eggs per package, 740 calories for only 4.5 ounces weight. The 40% off was a sweet bonus. The freshness date is April 2013. I should have bought more.... They also had some hot chocolate mix with no soy lecithin, so my GF can have it, and I picked up a few other things like Matchlight charcoal, the blue fake ice blocks, garlic salt, oh yeah and 48 packets of that instant coffee stuff, Vinacafe, which was 17 cents per packet with the markdown. Thanks for the heads-up, Allison.

It's a convenience store with beer on tap, drink in or take out. The neighborhood's favorite pub that's not a pub.
Do you see Dzon Nguyen by chance? He's my dentist and he rocks.

I was just there, snagging more soy-free chocolate milk mix. I probably should have grabbed a couple more of the Ova Easy packets, but I didn't.
