Thank you! I vaguely recall that reelgem had mentioned something about a place near Chicago. I just Googled Greco and see I live exactly 153.14 miles from them so an afternoon trip is in my future!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Mike,
Don't be too enthused. I have been trying for 3 months, through my local Kroger, to get Greco to ship 2 cases to them and they either don't answer the phone, don't return messages, etc. I have given up with Kroger (who actually DID try) and have asked a boutique meat shop to try. Haven't heard from them since Thanksgiving.
When I called direct, they told me they wouldn't ship unless I was a food/grocery business - they wouldn't ship to an individual.
I will keep trying and I hope you have good luck, but it has been a huge exercise in frustration. Also - $78.00 per case, if I recall, plus shipping. -
Clark,,, I tried also and they did not want to talk anything less than a pallet

Oh Ron...no one warned you....
I don't know how to put this mildly, but some people are affected by some mildly uncomfortable side effects the day after ingesting large quantities of La Bomba.
Ever see a dog rub their butt on the carpet? -
Clark,
The $78.00 per case isn't horrible. We pay $7.99 per jar in the stores. The problem is the boxes it comes in are very flimsy. You would have to get it bubble wrapped inside another box to have half a chance. I am going to the importer tomorrow to get some for a particular little chlorine sniffing dwarf that haunts this forum. I'll see if they can put any pressure on the distributor.

Thanks.
Looks like the only way I'm going to be able to purchase any quantity is to take the Amtrack to Chicago and bring it back myself. Don't look forward to THAT overnight trip, though I do love Chicago! -
Something inside me said slow down for THAT EXACT reason but I was already at 1/3rd of a jar so we'll see! I love Bloody Marys but pay a real price for even one!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Ron,
Finish a jar and join Zippy, JL and me in the "undead" club. :laugh:

??? if it involves scooting on the floor and howling at the moon I may want to think about that suggestion!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

It's not as bad as it sounds just close the curtains and hide the camera from your wife
-
Did you get my message?
-
No,
I talked to you last night. Norma will be home in a little while and she can talk to you. I'm in poolboy overdose mode right now. Have a nice day!

That would be me :pinch:

Clark,
My timing is terrible... I flew into Midway Monday, rented a car and worked in Ottawa IL yesterday. Had hours to kill in the Chicago area before flying home today... dang it, could have brought some home...

That IS terrible ! :S
It is so hard to pack as the jars seem to leak, it would have been tough to get back by plane, I imagine.
