11.2–11.4.24 Halfway Loot Our Stores Weekend! 50% off everything in our stores other than Saffron, Vanilla, Gift Cards.

For four years now, nice people have wandered in off the street, bought spices, paid money, shared happiness, and went back on their way.

Tuesday the nation will decide if we stick to the law and order of the democrats or turn back the clocks four years to the lawlessness of the Trump years when all our cities were on fire, rioters controlled the streets, and every store everywhere was looted every night.

To me the choice seems clear-cut, but according to the polls Americans seem split on this issue 50-50. So, not knowing whether our stores will be looted or law and order will prevail, we are hedging our bets this Saturday through Monday with our first ever halfway loot our store event.

To get half off everything* in our stores this weekend just be ready to show this post or a printed-out copy of it. Online there’s not as much risk, so we are only doing 25% off. To get this visit penzeys.com and at checkout enter LOOT in the apply code box. It’s easy.

You can find our stores here: https://www.penzeys.com/locations/

And maybe this isn’t so much about looting. Tuesday’s election will be make or break for America and for the planet. Come Wednesday either our democracy will have been saved or we earnestly begin the spiral down into fascism.

Right now is a moment calling out for cooks to come together as a community. I believe our stores are a great spot to do this. The kindness, caring, and compassion of cooks, especially for those in need, is the perfect antidote to the cruelty and inhumanity that’s taken hold of today's Republican party.

Saturday through Monday is the time.

Tuesday Penzeys will be closed for Voting.

Wednesday? God only knows.

Please Turn Out Every Vote.

The joy of that woman

Or

The anger of that man.


Leave no Vote behind,

Bill

Item #3 has also changed my packing game for the better these past few trips. I didn't think packing cubes would work for me, but wow I actually like these more than the carry-on closet that came with my luggage. You can pack more clothes and not have the bulk of the organizer thingy taking up space either. This is not the exact set I got, but it's the only difference is mine came with a much-too-small laundry bag that you don't need anyway.
That'll do for this round! I'll add to the list as the season progresses! Til then, remember to always put on your own oxygen mask before helping others! See you out there.

The second thing that I've recently acquired has been a game changer for packing my jewelry. IDK about you, but no matter how carefully I pack them, my necklaces always end up in a giant knot.
This solved that problem entirely. Each little divider has both the loop snap and two elastic bands to hold the chains flat. I'm so happy with this thing, and having this color makes my costume jewelry feel much fancier somehow. It also rolls up smaller than you think.

The lining of this jewel is made of quality soft velvet and includes 16 necklace/bracelet holders, rust-proof buttons, and 2 elastic straps to secure your chain and necklace. The divider makes each chain display separately, without tying, which can protect your jewelry well and show the advanced ...

Since the season of giving is upon us, I decided to post a few things I've found useful over the course of the last however-many trips to Pensacola. In no particular order, I give you a few things to think about for the traveler in your life! First up is the Foldie bag, which I'd like to comment on.
I got these bags because of social media, of course, and although I really do like them, I feel compelled to say that even when completely folded up they're not super tiny. It takes up a decent amount of space in a carry-on if you're bringing it in the hopes of filling it with antiques and tchotchkas like I do. Just sayin'. It's one of those things where I didn't read the dimensions. That said, they're well made and do hold a ton of stuff, so if you can make room they're worth the effort.
Yes, this is an affiliate link. My very first, lol. But the opinion is entirely my own.

The Foldie is a foldable travel bag that comes as a tiny square pouch. It expands into a large travel tote that has plenty of room for any kind of trip. It's time to start packing!

I never knew that the Lord Baltimore Hotel was on the most haunted list! Now I've got another reason to love staying there!

From ghostly sightings to children’s laughter, these haunted properties will make your skin crawl.
