I have been a fan of Enniskillen General Store since I went to its butter tart festival a couple of…read moreyears ago. Its main store sells butter tarts, Kawartha ice cream (in scoop form and in tubs), hot sauces, and plenty of gift ideas. In recent years, it has opened a few locations. Its newest location has opened up in Oshawa. It is probably the closest location to my home. Today, I decided to check it out. The downside was that I was driving down Ritson Road North and there was a major accident at Taunton Road. I took a break at Arby's before I did a detour to ultimately get back on track. It was easy to find this store thanks to a red sign that clearly had Enniskillen General Store on it, with ice cream flavours in scoop form. I parked. There are a limited number of spaces. I managed to back into a spot in a corner. It's a compact parking lot. I walked in. I liked everything. It's a long store. Jerky, tubs of Kawartha ice cream flavours, and fine gift items are to your left. The ice cream flavours that you can get in cone or cup form are in the middle of the store. Candy, hot sauces, and cold beverages are in the far right corner. Every time I am in any of these stores, I am happy as can be. I came here for orange cream pop Twizzlers. There were plenty of bags. I grabbed one. Above them were bags of Reese's white peanut butter trees. Wow! I grabbed a bag as if money were no object. I checked out the pop section. I love getting an ice cream float here. Instead, I found one of my favourite drinks as of late. Dr Pepper makes a vanilla float in a can. It is so good. Without any thought, I grabbed a can. The checkout is over on the left side. I saw samples of perogies. I basically threw a cheddar perogy sample in my mouth. It was cold, but still yummy. You can get a bag at the store. The woman at the counter didn't seem friendly at first. I broke the ice by saying hi. Perhaps she was still getting used to customers as a new business. The sign says debit and cash only. However, I paid using a credit card and I was good. Weird. She gave me a bag, which was great. I thanked her and walked out the door. Unfortunately, I didn't see any butter tarts. In a way, I am glad. I would have bought a dozen and inhaled them all by now. Yes, there are crazy good. Tonight, I consumed my Dr Pepper vanilla float. Delicious! I need to get more. I haven't tried my other goodies yet. I suspect that I will enjoy them. I like this store. I'll be back! (436)

On Saturday, after spending a fun day with my best friend in Oshawa, we called it a day. I was driving up Ritson Road North to try out the free 407 segment between Brock Road in Pickering, and highway 35/115 in Clarington. Why not enjoy a faster drive home for free, right? It was raining. I spotted a Circle K sign. The corner didn't look like it had a gas station. Oh, wow. It's a standalone Circle K! My second thought: It must have hot dogs and roller foods! It's the small things that make my life complete. I made a right turn onto Coldstream Drive into the parking lot. I backed into a spot in front of the store and walked in. This store gets full marks for customer service alone. I walked in and the man at the checkout on my left welcomed me by asking how I was doing. Wow! The staff at a Circle K that I used to frequent the most in Scarborough didn't care about how folks were doing. I was here to redeem my instant prize from the Rock Paper Prizes game. I was looking at AriZona teas. I grabbed a green tea. Done! I also saw a special on Bai drinks. Three of them were going for $6. I hadn't had any in ages, so I got three. I did pass by the roller hot foods to get to the AriZona drinks in the fridge. It had all my favourites. Hot dogs. Tornadoes filled with cheesy pepper jack. Buffalo chicken RollerBites. Cheddar and jalapeno cheddar sausages. I was in heaven! Sadly, I didn't get any roller items. I had just had dinner and was stuffed. Next time! This store was busy at around 7:30 pm on a Saturday. I lined up to pay. I redeemed my AriZona prize. I then paid for my Bai drinks. I tapped and was good. I thanked the man and left with my drinks. Because this store is a standalone Circle K, you won't be able to earn PC Optimum points. You would need a Circle K attached to an Esso gas station to be able to collect PC Optimum points. I've consumed all my Bai drinks since purchasing them. I got two of the raspberry lemon lime and one mango. They were yummy. This store didn't have my usual coconut. I hope that it still exists. I love AriZona green tea. The size was perfect. It was so cold when I drank it at home. I loved finding this store and getting drinks here. I look forward to getting a hot dog or whatever roller snack is available next time I'm in the neighbourhood. (264)
