How long does the GFS romaine stay fresh after opening? I love salad and would love to skip the wash/dry/chop steps!

I usually get 4-5 days out of it! I make sure to squeeze all of the air out of the bag and then seal it with a twix-it clip!

I can't find those silly little bottles of franks red hot sauce anywhere at Meijer?!?!?! Help!!!

Katie

I love gyros! Do you have a good recipe? I've never made them at home.

Sarah,
I found them in the mayo/salad dressing aisle at Meijer for $.99- or FREE after coupon!

Katie,
I'm planning to make some pita's (I'll share the recipe after I've tried it) and I'm planning to make a simple greek yogurt and shredded cucumber dip.

I'm happy that the gyro meat comes frozen... so I've got some time to find my best recipes!

I tried to spend Walgreens RR at my Meijer this week (14 Mile & Coolidge). No luck. Cashier said no, manager said no, customer service said NO! They all said that Meijer would not get reimbursed by Walgreens for these "manufacturers coupons" and that they could not believe that other Meijer stores would accept them. Bummer!
