We all have last-minute needs. No, not you? You’re just the very best, then. The rest of us forget things, think of new things that need getting, and sometimes just need to get out of the dang house. Away from all this candy. What candy you say? Well, after years of wishing for a box of chocolate on Christmas morning, this year, well, just look.
I hear you. You’re thinking, “What? No banana for scale?” Here, let’s just take a peek inside.
It’s nearly a square meter of chocolate. Which I have successfully defended from all other Cheepie household members! I hope you have a holiday moment that makes you smile as much as this has made me smile.
Happy New Year! Here’s the hours for today and tomorrow.

Fried Munster cheese. Why is this not done more often? 
2018’s drink was the Moscow Mule. Applications being accepted for 2019. 
Beets. I didn’t see it coming, but this year was the one where I became a beet-lover. 
Still laugh whenever I think of this. 
This one banana, ticked at the world. 
These were just the prettiest, sweetest figs. 
Gluten-free Brazilian cheese bread, so much cheaper when home-made! 
Throwback packaging with futuristic pricing. $1 more per can! 
Who decided this? They were wrong. 
I can’t even remember what flavor this was because it is so unrelentingly gray. 
Three pounds of boil-in-a-bag goulash. Who buys this? I mean, I think it’s boil-in-a-bag. The label can’t be the only boilable part, right?
I know who buys this. 
$10 for baking spray is too much. Even if it is duck fat. Also: I feel like this would clog. 
Cheese Glut 2: Electric Boogaloo. 
This was just next to the register when I went to quickiemart for coffee. There were different flavors. It was tough to cope. 
My favorite, a Christmas gift of cheese! 
I finally got my coffee routine, bean, and gear all sorted out this year. Whew. 
Fiesta, I love you.
I came up with three ways to cook this giant daikon radish. I’m very, very sure I do not like daikon radishes. 
I have read a lot of grocery circulars. Probably more than anyone not actively involved in their production. This wins them all.
