We use it for a number of things.  Their milk is about $1 cheaper than
normal grocery store prices.  Their meats are quite good.  I often buy
some pretty good looking porterhouse steaks for $5.99 per pound, far
cheaper and better looking than ever in the grocery stores.  They
usually have canned goods in multipacs of normal sized cans at a good
discount, and we buy the few things we use a lot of such as canned black
beans.  One of our favorite things is Campari tomatoes.  As you have
probably heard, they are our favorite tomato and we think that they have
good flavor year round.  The grocery stores are now carrying them -- but
at twice the price.

There are other things that we do not buy from them.  Their
cereal comes in very large packages.  It is less expensive than the
stores, but if we watch for sales we can usually manage to equal the
price per ounce but in a normal size box.

All in all, they are a useful store for us in addition to the normal
grocery store.

      Title: Sausage Topped Mini Biscuits^
 Categories: Crs, Appetizer
      Yield: 48 servings
 
  1 2/3 c  Flour
    1/3 c  Yellow cornmeal
      2 ts Baking powder
    1/4 ts Baking soda
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/2 c  Shortening
    2/3 c  Buttermilk or sour milk
      8 oz Bulk pork sausage
    1/4 c  Sliced green onion
      1 cl Garlic, minced
      2 tb Tomato paste
      1 tb Water
      6 sl American cheese
 
  Stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and soda and salt. Cut in
  shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the
  center of the dry mixture. Using a fork, add buttermilk or sour milk
  all at once, stirring just until dough is moistened.
  
  Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board. Quickly knead 1012
  strokes or till dough is nearly smooth. Pat or roll out to 1/4"
  thicknes. Dip a 1 3/4" biscuit cutter in flour, then cut dough
  straight down. Place on an extra large ungreased baking sheet. Reroll
  dough as necessary.
  
  Bake at 450F 8-10 minutes or till biscuits are lightly browned.
  
  Meanwhile, cook sausage, green onion and garlic in a medium skillet
  till no pink remains, stirring well to break up any large chunks.
  thoroughly drain off fat, using paper towels to blot at meat. Stir in
  tomato paste and water. Heat through. Cut each slice cheese into
  quarters, halve each to make 48 triangles.
  
  Spoon a scant 1 teaspoon of the sausage mixture on each biscuit. Top
  with a cheese triangle. Return to oven for 1-2 minutes to melt
  cheese. Serve hot. Makes 48
  
  To make ahead: Place biscuits topped with sausage mixture on a baking
  sheet; freeze about 30 minutes. Remove from pan and store in freezer
  bags. To serve, place biscuits, sausage side up, on a baking sheet
  and cover loosely with foil. Heat in a 350 degree oven 10-12 minutes
  or till biscuits are heated through. Add cheese and bake until
  melted. Serve hot.
