Food groups available for shopping at CVS.com
My family’s prescriptions are at our local CVS store so we are in and out of there on a regular basis. It has always fascinated me that this drugstore chain maintains a well-stocked packaged food department. I never thought of the place I get my Gas-X and teeth whitening strips as a destination for one-stop shopping, but obviously others disagree.
So, finally I spent some time roaming my local store and contemplating how one could do a week’s food purchases without ever going to any store other than CVS. And guess what? They have fresh milk and butter. A smattering of deli meat products including mini-packages of Nathan’s franks. There’s lots of heat-and-serve entrees in the frozen foods case. And, of course, you will not go lacking for beer, soda or chips.
The soup/veg shelves at my CVS. Actually I see some green beans lurking behind the niblets, so maybe I’m being unfair
The grocery aisle, however, is where the dream dies. There are soups but no vegetables other than some cans of black beans and corn kernels. (And no frozen veggies either.) Some prescription drugs (especially the ones the folks around the pharmacy window seem to clamor for, claiming that surely their script is due for a refill) are said to be constipating. If you’re in search of iron and fiber, you’ll have to look to the pharmacy department.
A few tubs of processed cole slaw in the cold case might have caused me to actually give this diet a try. As it is, I’m on my way back to the supermarket. Sorry, CVS.
i have often wondered about this myself! But there are only so many cans of kprogresso soup one can have before they long for real food. I have gone in there for a pick-me-up snack of a hard boiled egg or some hummus, so it’s a convenience but not much more.
So you are acknowledging that you have bought “real” food (i.e. not easter or valentine or halloween candy) at CVS. I am impressed!
