I just got a huge pasta and sauce shipment from The Italian Store, rice from The Mexican Store and dried beans from Rancho Gordo-all things I haven't been able to get anywhere else. I did a happy dance when Chewy brought me 100 pounds of kitty litter yesterday...lol. Who knew all these amazing little stores were out there?
