"Give us this day our daily discount outlet merchandise…read moreRaise up a multiplex and we will make a sacrifice" (Billy Joel) We used to love shopping at the Outlet when their Canton store was open, but they closed it a few months ago. So, we made our first visit to the Outlet in Southington today. The differences between the two locations were striking. Southington is much larger and seemed to have a greater variety of products. It was more like a mini supermarket complete with produce, frozen goods, refrigerated goods, and a dairy case. Another difference is their 50% off room, where all sorts of non- foods items were half price. We used to pick up coffees, teas, frozen goods, and boxes of cereal at the Canton store. Just like Canton was, you have to check the pricing carefully because pricing is a real mixed bag. The Outlet is lower on some items and quite a bit higher on other items when compared to supermarket prices. We did find a few good buys- two squares of frozen jalapeno cornbread and two mini packages of frozen chocolate chip pancakes. How does $1.16 sound for all four? Yes, I thought you'd be as pleased with that as we were.

If you're looking for a fall escape filled with charm, Rogers Orchards is a must. Picture rows of…read moreapples stretching into the horizon -- the perfect backdrop for those fall golden-hour photos. During my visit, the trees were full of Pink Lady, Evercrisp, Red Delicious, and Empire apples. After tasting these fresh, juicy picks straight from the tree, I don't think I can go back to store-bought apples - not that I really have a choice! Every bite was crisp perfection, and honestly, this might become an annual tradition for me. You can choose from a few bag sizes when you go apple-picking: Large ($40) - labeled at 30 lbs Medium ($25) - labeled at 12-15 lbs Small ($15) - labeled at 7-8 lbs Separate from the orchard, there's a large open field that's perfect for picnics, with plenty of seating and cozy fire pits to keep you warm. It's a beautiful, family-friendly space -- kids running around, birthday celebrations happening, and couples just relaxing in the fall breeze. You don't need to pick apples or pay any additional fees to enjoy this area, which is a big plus. Bring your own chairs if you want extra comfort. There were three food trucks on-site during my visit. My favorite was Pika Food Truck -- their Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich was delicious. Chef O's Streatery offered empanadas but they weren't my favourite-- a bit too salty and lacking flavor. We also tried a flight of ciders, which was such a fun way to sample different seasonal flavors. Before you leave, make sure to check out the scenic overlook -- it's stunning, especially with the fall foliage. I loved that they even had a tripod set up for easy photo-taking. Rogers Orchards truly captures everything great about fall -- fresh apples, good food, cozy vibes, and community. They accept cards, which makes checkout super easy.

The pie crust was home made, flaky, delicious (unlike the frozen pie crust I use when asked to make a pie). The fruit selection was tasty, this priced about $20.00!) I have fine pie places near where I live but Rogers is better, in my opinion. Take the family, pick fruit, buy a pie, donuts, et al -- you'll have an enjoyable family experience. Let's continue to patronize all CT orchards to keep them in business! Fine family tradition (lose the cell phones for the day)! Tootsie

""Buying food at the farmer's market Stand in a line, people…read moreeverywhere" (Neil Young) We had a very enjoyable visit to the Southington Farmer's Market yesterday. We found it right on the Village Green where the annual Apple Festival starts. Parking was a non-factor, there were spots all over the immediate area and we snagged a prime spot on the corner of Main and Center Streets. Today was the first day they were open for the season, and the market was full of vendors, and everything seemed to be running like a well-oiled machine. We arrived shortly after the 3:00 opening and everything was already fully stocked and set up. The market was perfectly sized. Not too small, not overpoweringly huge, just about perfect. A leisurely stroll through the booths and stands will take around 30-40 minutes, I loved how the booths were adequately spaced apart so there were no logjams or crowds. The only real crowd we encountered was at Wave Hill Breads with a ten-person deep line of drooling customers. We finished our visit with some Wave Hill purchases. Some of the main categories of vendors included fruits, vegetables, pastries, breads, sauces, salsas, jerkies, guacamole, pizzas for one, soaps, flowers, crafts, straw baskets, honeys and syrups. All of those were enjoyed among a backdrop of live music. We picked up a container of great guacamole from Pop's Famous Guacamole, a wonderful jar of salsa from Angela's Kitchen, two adorable "Eight Ball" squashes from one of the produce vendors, and a bag full of goodness from Wave Hill Breads. Our Wave Hill Haul included a delicious eight-inch cheese pizza, a hunk of Three Cheese Monkey bread, and a beautiful Vanilla Citrus Scone. The vendors were all super friendly and chatty, and the whole afternoon had a very nice community/neighbor-like vibe. We loved every aspect of our visit to the Southington Farmer's Market. PRO TIP The Farmer's Market is scheduled for Fridays from 3-6PM at the Southington Town Green, beginning on Friday, June 20th, and ending on September 26th.

It is so nice to see a family farm that is still up and running in this day and age. They used to do pick your own strawberries but not anymore, it really was one of the most amazing experiences to go there and pick fresh berries. This farm is a wonderful place to get plants and flowers in the spring fresh fruits and vegetables in the summer pumpkins in the winter and Christmas trees in the holiday season. It is a true gem run by some of the most amazing and hard-working people you would ever meet in your life. I have spoken with the owners many times and they will go out of their way to assist you and to get specialty items for you from wholesale market that you can't get anywhere else if you so request. We buy all of our flowers for a home here, all of our vegetable throughout the year, beautiful pies for special occasions and they even sometimes sell home grown turkeys in the fall. Everything is homegrown and you absolutely cannot go wrong. For a farm to table fresh experience this is the place in central Connecticut to shop

While in Southington I stopped by their Aldi to pick up some milk and some other essentials. This…read morestore is larger then other Aldi locations, there's plenty of space for two large shopping carts to fit side by side. All of the isles and their merchandise were well stocked. Aldi has the lowest prices on their everyday grocery items. They also have an isle of random discounted merchandise, such as storage items, toys and seasonal decor. Most of the items Aldi carries, are their own brand. You can randomly find name brand items also. Unfortunately not everything I need can be found here. Be sure to have a quarter ready so you can get a shopping cart, and return it after you're done. This is part of the reason their prices are low, they're not hiring someone to collect shopping carts all over the parking lot. You will not find a shopping basket at Aldi. This is a very nice Aldi location. You can find your everyday basics at a great price.

Other pictures show a pumpkin field, but I didn't ask about directions to get to that. They do have a large variety of pumpkins and mums to choose from. Very pretty! Walk to orchard not bad at all.
