Some Weekend Specials And More

We have a mixed bag for you this week. Most importantly, though, we have some great specials.

These specials at TOPS are running for the whole month of May, from 10 May until 4 June, and they all look good. So stock up on the drinks you love while the specials are on. It seems like there won’t be any more lockdowns, so we don’t have to worry about stocking up as we won’t be closing. Let’s hope there won’t be alcohol bans (or cigarette or roast chicken bans), but the discounts are good, so that’s enough to stock up.

Then, just for fun, this is a fun and straightforward recipe for chocolate sauce from SPAR Savour Magazine.
