Frozen Shrimp Caught in the USA

Unsure if this is just a problem I alone have at the grocery I will share that I have finally found a frozen shrimp that is a product of the USA.

First let me say I am aware that fresh Gulf caught shrimp is the BEST and on occasion my local grocery store has it and I snatch it up.  But frozen shrimp is so easy and makes an quick meal.  But I have found that most of the frozen shrimp or the shrimp in the shrimp rings is from Taiwan.  I am not so hard core that I haven't purchased it.  My thought on the subject is if you go somewhere and they warn you not to drink the water I get an eerie feeling in the pit of my stomach when I eat seafood that by nature of the name come from that very water.

In recent months I have found Cox's Seafood Shrimp in the freezer near the fresh seafood counter.

 

 

 

As my fellow shoppers that day looked at me quizically as I said quote "YES, a product of the USA".

 

 

 

 

Plus on top of it all it was on sale for $4.99 I only wish I had purchased several bags.  I want to make sure my local store continues to stock it so I plan on adding a bag to my weekly grocery list.

 

Call me idealist but I think this is a way to make my dollars speak.  



Stocking Stuffer Idea from Missouri/Kansas

My husband and I were shopping a local gift shop in town and a display caught my eye.  It basically said microwavable popcorn pops off the cob.  I was intrigued here is a picture.

I couldn't put it down. I spoke to the owner and asked how much popcorn did that one ear pop? She assures me that it is enough for two and that it is good.  Well I added it to my purchases and plan to pop it soon. I think it will be a great topic of conversation so it will make a great stocking stuffer.

Best of all it is Kansas Grown and comes from the Sunflower Food Company from Riverside, MO.

I'll give the review of the corn once I have a movie night!!
