To celebrate Marc's birthday this weekend, I made Whole Grain Pancakes with Blueberry Syrup - a recipe we have been salivating over since I purchased a copy of Bon Appetit last month. The recipe required a trip to the store, of course, so I went by the Safeway up the street. Everything was going smoothly - I didn't mind the $5.99 price tag on the Kodiak whole grain pancake mix (it looks good!) and I didn't even flinch at the $4.49 sale price on O brand organic butter. $5.99 for Organic Pure Maple Syrup - sure! It takes a lot to tap those trees. But when it came to the frozen blueberries, I stalled.
The Safeway Brand Organic Wild Blueberries were on SALE for $4.99. The regular blueberries were $2.99. I'm not sure why I was so appalled at this price ... it just seemed like a shocking difference. After much pondering, I eventually bought the organic berries rationalizing that I was either an organic shopper, or not.
The pancakes were delicious, by the way.
