You Can Fool Some of the People, Some of the Time

...and sometimes one of those people is the Dinnerman. He cannot be fooled often - and it's especially rare when it involves his palate. But sometimes it happens.

Case number one: This is good coffee!

So spoke DD this morning after taking his first sip. The secret? I replaced our usual Starbucks or Coffee Exchange espresso roast - which sells for $8.99/lb and up - with, brace yourselves, people, Stop & Shop brand espresso roast, for $2.49/lb.

Case number two: This is good cereal!

So spoke DD yesterday morning after taking his first bite. The reason? I replaced his usual favorite, Total - which sells for $4.99/box - with Stop & Shop brand Honey Oat Clusters with Almonds, at $2.29.

Go figure.
