Stalking the Wild Pistachio......

Off Christmas shopping yesterday down by the downtown Rite-Aid so I stopped in to see if the elusive Pistachios had found their way to that store.
Success!

I found 2 forlorn bags shoved on a bottom shelf over by the nuts and jerky.
No signage at all....that's probably why they still had them because nobody could find them in the store.
Even the employees I asked who were stocking shelves had no clue if they had them or what they looked like.lol
