I may not have a discerning palate but I'm not a, “just give me whatever,” type of coffee drinker either, though I will take whatever when that's the only choice; I've survived on Army coffee for big chunks of time after all lol. I love trying new coffees and can tell you what tastes good to me and what doesn't. When available, I will include the tasting notes provided but I really taste the chocolate, raspberry, whatever notes; I just know if I love it, I love it; if I don't, I don't. Here's what makes the cut and some of my favorite coffee toys as well.

Chicago is known for it's pizza but it doesn't stop at deep dish - These pizzas range from thin crust, grandma style, to New York style and they're all amazing!
My family of 3 and 6 fur babies are regulars at Sam's. Not much has ever disappointed me here and it is almost always more cost effective for my family. In the past we only would do the reg membership but we upgraded the last year for the bonus of shipping. (free shipping for orders over $50) Since most items are quite heavy, shipping costs are insane. If you frequently prefer to ship items to your door, I would go for the plus membership. If you prefer to shop in store, I would do the regular membership. Also, in my area gas is almost always significantly cheaper here. The lines are long if you go at peak times, but I often wait anyways because saving money where I can is helpful. I have linked some of my most repurchased items, and I hope it helps you and your family.

In botanical terms, a berry is a fruit produced from the ovary of a single flower with seeds embedded in the flesh. By this definition, bananas qualify as berries because they develop from a single ovary and contain seeds (though they are tiny and not typically noticeable).
On the other hand, strawberries are considered "aggregate fruits" because they form from multiple ovaries of a single flower.
