Giant Eagle ~ Other: Good Taste Pittsburgh, Saturday, 11/7/09

hmmm, just thought of something - maybe we can swap stockpile items or coupons while we're there LOL. We can start collecting tearpads or other q's we don't need and let everyone take their pick!

MamaSvs and I will probably be going together (we live pretty close to each other) and my friend from VA is thinking about coming up. I really enjoyed meeting Neeky and tranquil (and their kids who were wonderful).

At the risk of dating myself, I remember the old Food Expo that used to be held at the Convention Center dahntahn many (like 25) years ago. I was in a school group that performed there and I can confirm that the exhibitors love to give as much stuff away as possible at the end of the day. They don't want to load all of their product up again and schlep it to their vehicle. We walked out of there with bags full of stuff, as much as we could carry.
I'm also considering going this year but I'm not sure if I will take the family along or not. The Smiley Cookies would get them there, I'm sure!

Thank you so much for the update and details! I love details. lol Arnold bread? I love their bread; I think I'm sold on going. Of course just getting to say to all of you would be wonderful too.

I would love to participate in the tearpads, but once in a blue moon tearpads are found in my area. Do you accept cash, check, credit, window washing?

Now to decide who to ask. Neighbor, are you peeking in today?

Pittsburgh24 your post just brightened my morning; you crack me up.

I have an idea! Lets get a list together of who's definitely going. Then toward the end of the show we each find a specific vendor to relieve of their excess product and then meet up afterwards to swap Q's and products! We should ask for a reserved parking corner for HCW members! lol

I'm going with either DH or DM and DS#3 is most likely attending as well

DS#3 is most likely attending as well

Capitalization at its best, I see.

I know there aren't many of us but is anyone from the Washington area going? I'd love to go but I won't drive. I would be happy to kick in gas money or buy lunch or whatever!!
