When I was living over there as a carefree college student with no budget (that didn't work out so well), I didn't realize there was a difference between all the stores -- Todi and Despar and di per di and Pam -- they were all the same to me! of course, I also wasn't trying to cook meals for myself and a husband and two adorable children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669762298855511295.post-46947440015165465222013-04-24T13:24:54.801-06:002013-04-24T13:24:54.801-06:00I want to go back to Rome for the food!

I lived in Texas but now in the South Bend/Fort Wayne area of Indiana- there are NO good Mexican places. So I feel your pain.

They have a very good selection of delicatessen and a good pasta range called bio-trend. And every week they have special offers on home appliances or clothes. The clothes they get for the very young ones are especially good value. And those radishes look exactly like the ones I just bought .. snap!Claudettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669762298855511295.post-17965909548349017442013-04-24T08:19:36.228-06:002013-04-24T08:19:36.228-06:00This post is awesome!
