December Daily - 19
Marquette, MI Clementine Report 2010


Saturday 12/11/10 - 1 bag Cuties purchased at Econo Foods  - Delicious, all 20 minus 4 were eaten by Haley.  The others 2 were eaten by Bill, 2 were given to Haley's co-workers.
Friday 12/17/10 - A return trip to Econo to find the identical item yeided no Cuties Clementines.
Friday 12/17/10 - Rumor that Cuties were available at Super One Foods means a Marquette rush hour trip near the mall is in order.  No Cuties there, but Ocean Spray Spanish Clementines that look a lot like Cuties are available.  We buy one bag, and sample one just outside the checkout.  Quite good.  Haley goes to get the car while Bill goes back into the store and buys two more bags of Ocean Spray Spanish Clementines.
Saturday 12/18/10 - Haley recalls in her reading about the availability of Cuties that the place that starts with a W may have Cuties.  After eating two Ocean Spray Spanish Clementines they head to the place that starts wtih W, arriving before it is light outCuties are spotted.  They look bigger that the type purchased a week before at Econo.  2 bags of Cuties Clementines purchased at the place that starts with W.

We only saw Ocean Spray in a box. We have some great oranges from FFA.
