Q: I purchased Tishibi Onion Cabernet condiment in a jar in a market in Connecticut. The store is now totally sold out and will not be reordering. I paid $3.49 for a 7.7-ounce jar. I have researched online, and the price is $7.99, which is too much money. Are there any stores in the Dunwoody or Atlanta area that carry this delicious product? I want to buy a supply, and so does a friend. I would appreciate your help. — Gail Gordon, Dunwoody
A: Tishbi Onion Cabernet spread, a recent sofi (specialty outstanding food innovation) award recipient, comes from Israel, via the Canadian company, Fruit of the Land Inc. The spreads and preserves feature wines from the family-owned Tishbi Winery in Israel. Other flavors include Fig Cabernet, Cherry Shiraz, Sangria, Mango Chardonnay and Strawberry Champagne. Locally, you can find them at the Spicy Peach, 2887 N. Druid Hills Road, Atlanta, 404-334-7200. The store recently sold out of the onion Cabernet, but it’s on order, so call ahead to make sure it’s in stock when you plan to visit. Each jar costs $7.99. I realize that isn’t the low price you found out of state, but at least you won’t incur any shipping costs by buying it locally.
Q: I am trying to locate a source for Surgi-Wax Brazilian Wax Kit, no muslin strips needed. The store in the area where I live no longer stocks this product, and I would like to find a store that carries it in the Decatur area. Can you help? Many thanks. — H. Johnson, email
A: I found SurgiWax Brazilian Wax Kit by Ardell at Sally Beauty Supply, 3930 N. Druid Hills Road, Decatur, 404-633-5144. It sells for $7.99 and is a regular item, so you should be able to find it whenever you like.
Q: I’d like to find a place in Atlanta where I can buy Frooties candies in the grape flavor. I think they’re made by the company that makes Tootsie Rolls. These are for a party, so I need to buy them in bulk, if possible. Thank you. — Liz Dickson, email
A: Well, Liz, I found grape Frooties by Tootsie locally, but you might reconsider and order them online when you find out the difference in price. Party City, 4743 Ashford Dunwoody Road, Atlanta, 770-395-9226, sells these candies with soft chewy centers and crunchy candy shells individually for 7 cents a piece. So, for instance, if you wanted 100 pieces, you’d end up paying $7. However, a bag of 360 grape Frooties through www.partycity.com, costs you only $8.99, not including shipping, but I’m sure you’d still come out ahead.
