Last night I received a phone call from my neighbor Mrs. Hillbilly. She was fixing to put supper on the table and was out of ketchup. What a tragedy. So I told her “Sure, I have some extra ketchup, come on over…”
When she arrived I had two varieties of ketchup for her to choose from. Heniz and Hunt’s. Both bottles were picked up for free {with coupons of course} a few months ago. Personally I prefer the Heniz brand. But Mrs. Hillbilly? Oh Boy… She’s a stickler when it comes to high fructose corn syrup. She is adamant about not serving her family ANY products with high fructose corn syrup and she makes a point to read EVERY LABEL. Sadly, many of my offers to barter with her have gone down hill because of it. But lucky for me, this time around I had a nice stockpile of the pureed tomato goodness on hand to work with.
Thanks Mrs. Hillbilly! It was fun bartering with you.
