Cache in on fabulous and frugal factory finds
I took a food-finding road trip to Cache Valley, and where possible, compared prices with what you'd find in local supermarkets. Here's what I found:
If you like to buy in bulk, have lots of freezer space or are planning to make a ton of grilled cheese sandwiches in the near future, you're in luck. But if you just plan to buy one 15-cent Creamie or a 49-cent FatBoy, it's not worth the time, gasoline and hassle.
Factory "seconds" can be irregular-shaped, broken or otherwise not up to standards. Don't expect perfection.
Plan on at least three hours from the time you get to Cache Valley, so you can navigate the busy traffic, peruse store shelves and compare prices. Add nearly two hours more if you're traveling from Salt Lake City.
Cox Honeyland
Cox has been selling honey since 1929, and it also supplies the honey sold at the Trappist Monastery in the Ogden Valley.
Fun food find: Small, straw-like honey "sticks" are laced with herbs, such as ginseng and echinacea, for 25 cents each.
