I remember sections of bare shelves in Grand Union and Pueblo regularly in the 1980s. Looks like you have a far superior shopping experience than decades ago.
Yep, St Thomas Dairies.. At least Udder Delights was and still is the real deal.. My not even 18 year old self worked at Charlie Blair's Antilles Airboats back in the day. Learned how to fly, and traveled Pan Am on "space available" for only the fee of documentation.. I surely miss Pan Am..
Yep, when we moved here back in 1965 you couldn't find a head of green lettuce at Pueblo. But then, who ate lettuce when you could get a fresh pate and a Pot rum and coke (mostly rum as it was cheaper than coke) everywhere for less than $2. Don't even get me started on fresh milk back then.. Thanks, for you comment.. Grumpy

Thank you for your comment. Depending on which you're asking. Generally 2-4 weeks before the "best used by" freshness date. Often deep discounted if less than a week.
Hello again and thank you for the opertunity to interact. Yep, I as you say, was a white boy of 15 when we moved here in 1965. Among a hand full of jobs over the years I worked for Antilies Air Boats as an apprentice mechanic. Daily News as Circ Mgr and started the Source online publication, which you may know, just to name a few. Funny thing.. Growing up and raising children here we really never thought of ourselves as white or non. It was always a small community. We all lived together, respected each other and got along just fine. If you live here on St Thomas, there's a pretty good chance you or your family knows me or my family members. My wife (or should I say Ex-wife) was one of the first employees at CostUless when they first opened at the original location, back in the day. My sister, now retired was the airport manager for years. My brother in-law, now retired was the chief at the airport "crash house" fire station. My other sister worked with Head Start. My mother worked as a nurse at the old Knud Hansen Hospital and then in her later years for Human Resources at the Employment office.. I'd be happy to meet you and share some stories and a pate at Jackies.. I'm always interested in learning from people who are, in- the-know of our island, just like you. Please be sure to keep watching the channel and I'll do my best to listen and learn. Hope you and your family stay safe and dry, if Ernesto visits us tomorrow. If your're out and about, perhaps you'll see me trying to get my propane tank filled at Antillies and getting some footage.. Just watch for the old white mon... Grumpy
