Re: PeaPod redux
Mars is strictly a local chain, originally in Dundalk. To be honest, they have long had the reputation as not being the cleanest of supermarkets or not carrying the best quality products, though they are certainly cheaper than Giant or Safeway.
The Parkville store is actually just a block or so from me. And the funny part is that neither of us is actually in Parkville. We're in Carney, outside the Beltway, but many databases just put all of my zipcode in Parkville.
And yes, I find the convenience far outweighs the $5.95 delivery fee. In fact, I rarely pay that much since I often have either a promotional discount or choose a delivery time which is offered for free. I'm not saying PeaPod is for everyone, but for someone who, for one reason or another finds shopping physically painful or inconvenient, it's a godsend.
Btw, I prefer Irish tea, especially Barry's Gold, and have found the selection I like best of both coffee and tea at Baltimore Coffee & Tea.
