January 18
...serving up your daily dish.
Sure, Liz found a venerable old apothecary going out of business in Montclair, selling off one-of-a-kind cash registers and cool urine signs. Well, the Barista's going to go out on a limb and tell you about another drugstore going out of business, the Rite-Aid in Glen Ridge (next to Bottle King), where everything in the store is marked down 40 to 60 percent off. Yes, ladies, if you go all Pavlovian at the makeup section of CVS, you'll be drooling at this. True, the stock is a little thin, but how does this sound -- $31.32 for lip gloss, eye shadow, eye liner, bubble bath, foundation, mascara, more eye shadow, curl & twirl smoothing balm and a pound of hazlenut coffee? We thought so.
We discovered it on Saturday when buying wine at the Bottle King... for about 12 bucks we got 5 boxes of kleenex, q-tips, two boxes of bandaids (the good kind that stay on for a few days) and a spa face mask (the kind that you put in the fridge and put over your eyes when you have a headache or are puffy).
I don't think that kind of stuff expires!

This reminds me: has anybody ever been to that place on 46 west (between Valley and Grove) that sells unclaimed shipments?

Ha! I was there about a month ago...you mean they haven't gone out of business yet? I did manage to get some vitamins, Christmas cards and hair stuff on sale, though.

They really should be going out of a business. The place is the antithesis of what a good business should look like. Meaning there really are no real windows, the place on the outside looks like a prison, it's small, congested and not setup too nicely inside. And the staff weren't the friendliest. It felt kinda seedy when inside. adios.
