Many people on GW prefer to send plants and cuttings by Priority Mail. But mail-order catalogs don't ship by Priority. They use First Class, Parcel Post or UPS. Bare root dormant raspberries will be OK in a transit for 5-6 days with proper wrapping to prevent roots drying out (as most plants and cuttings). If soil is workable, your trader can plant raspberries right away, if not - heel them or pot them up (more info on Internet how to handle bare root raspberries). Very important - soil should not be saturated with water when planting or digging plants, otherwise soil will be destroyed. Temperature doesn't matter for hardy plants.

I get some things already mentioned like the white balsamic vinegar, chocolate chips, cereal & the tall bottle of pure maple syrup (it is a good deal but we have to use one half shelf in the fridg just to store it). I also get the mulitgrain baking mix that I use for pancakes, occasionally the cornbread mix, dried fruit, coconut oil since I read about it on here, some herbs & spices. I love their moisturizing cream in the white pump bottle with the hot pink label. Tried their toothpaste, but the kids & husband don't like it. Their graham crackers, BBQ sauce & honey wheat pretzels, as they don't have high fructose corn syrup or partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. My son likes the red pepper spread with eggplant & garlic.

eam44. A "jipper" faucet is a generic junk brand. Yours is a zinc not brass handle set which explains why there is little remaining of the handles. Pressure balance assures constant pressure to hot/cold flow to prevent scalding. Find a skilled professional to install a Moentrol or equivalent with a retrotrim. You will need a new tub spout with a diverter as well. American Standard is about the only source for a solid brass tub spout. Coincidentally, I performed this repair for a customer a couple of weeks ago. Bathroom was a vintage 60's in good shape much like the one you have.

Re: the notoriously bad parking lots. One reason to love TJ's besides their groceries is that they seldom will build a new building for their stores. They locate in vacant storefronts in strip mall locations and the parking lots are often inadequate for the increased traffic from a TJ's. Ours in Oly isn't too bad if you time your visit to off peak hours. I find that early morning and evening just before closing are both good. Early morning, when it first opens there is a rush of seniors who seem to want to always be first in line for everything, but if you wait about 30 min, they have finished their shopping and there is a lull until the parents who've dropped off their kids at school show up. 8:20 - 9 a.m. is perfect at my store. Sometimes the shelves are picked over just before closing, but the stock is often in the back waiting to be shelved. So if you ask, they will see if stuff you want is in the back. I once rushed to get there before they closed and commented to the checker that I was worried I wouldn't make it before closing and he told me that if you are IN the store at closing they won't hurry you to leave. They are stocking shelves for a while anyway, so as long as you're there, you can shop. I don't know if that is company policy, but it sounded like it.
