After visiting my local grocery store and buying some of the beer that intrigued me, Caguama, I felt that it resembled Fresh and Easy’s Taurino a bit too much.

After reading the label and a bit of googling, Ive come to the conclusion that;

Taurino & Caguama are one and the same! Except FNE has made Taurino their mark.

Here’s a few things to look into…

both are product of El Salvador.

both are Brewed and Bottled by Cerveceria La Constancia San Salvador, El Salvador.

both have same bottle shape.

both are best with a lime wedge and salt!

both have a fabricated story on the bottle which explains the ‘mascot’ for the beer.

Maybe its just me, but just thought I would point this out.. I still say FNE has the best deal on this specially right now at $5.99 for a 12 pack!

Also, if im wrong about my assumption on taurino=caguama, i need to go out and get more beer and see if there is a similarity when they are side to side…:-) Ill post an update!

Canned Items, Baking, Baby Products, & Pet Food!

During a recent visit, I came made the realization, that fresh and easy has completely revamped their petfood section, it looks like now they have a bit more variety, although they still have the same amount of modules dedicated, they have cut down on product fronts, and added more to their selection. 

Their baking sections has also come under seige, and been revamped with some new items, such as flour, which now comes in a plastic bag, and they have also added other items like the pillsbury funfetti cake mix. 

Canned food underwent a large change as far as I can tell, they have introduced a larger variety of the canned tomatoes, and added some FNE branded canned veggies. It also seems like they have replaced their FnE branded fruit bowl snack packs with branded ones, along with the addition of Cranberry sauce, and a couple more branded apple sauces.

Baby food came as the biggest shocker as I notice they carry FRESH AND EASY BRANDED BABY PRODUCTS, such as lotions, petrolium jelly, and shampoo’s! They also added Pampers to their diaper selection.

I must say new products are great! But I for those bargain hunters out there…be on the look out for their discontinued items, which they often sell at up to 50% off (sometimes more… )…And it seems they have baby products, canned food, baking items,  and pet food which might go on sale soon!

Cheers!

I have added enabled a RSS feed, that will update automatically on any news relating to Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market.

On the top of the list now, is “Fresh & Easy Introducing 25 New Wines Over Next Three Months” , so now you will also be able to stay a bit more upto date with whats going on with FNE when you visit this site.

I am still tweeking portions of the site, so please do bear with me…

Cheers!

At last I must admit I have been neglecting my project for some time now, and I have taken it upon myself, to try and enable some of the feature I had envisioned slowly but surely….As you can see to the right of the posting you will now be able to see some of the reviews posted on the Yelp social network about some of the fresh and easy neighborhood markets out there…I think that will make this website less bias in terms of 1 person dictating the content, For now this page is pretty static, soon I will enable a news link, so you will also be able to stay in touch with some of the most up to date news dealing fresh & easy.

Later this week I will be hopefully completing some of the planned features.

Cheers, and till next time!
