On Tuesday, we met up with our new friends to visit a store called McCoy's that sells American products in Paris...these are things that are very hard to find here...and you know I have tried! The "store" was closed, but we went to the McCoy cafe (owned by the same company) where you can buy the same products. I finally found a package of Crisco for a whopping 8 euros (which is $10.89), baking soda for 6 euros ($8.16), cream of tartar ($3 for 6 tsp) plus a few other things that are being rationed out! I really wanted to go a little crazy in there buying all of the things that our family has been missing...but I held back:) I had to share this funny fact too--(because I thought it was wild)...My friend Megan found a 12 pack of A & W root beer--for almost $40!! ... we didn't buy that:) We also found some cereals that are rare here...a box of Life cereal, Cheerios, or Fruit Loops are 9 to12 euros per box (or $11 to $16)...we didn't buy those either.
On this little adventure, Megan, the kids and I also discovered the coolest little street that had a great restaurant and some fabulous shops! We will have to go back another time because...it was pouring rain (again) and we had 3 kiddos with us...but when it warms up a bit--we want to go back!
That is all for now...
