Specialty stores are indeed fun. Reid's has a lot of items you haven't seen before and offers some healthier or more natural items, on top of local fare.
It should be said and noted that these items are priced way higher than something you'd normally get a a grocery store, so be prepared when you go in to Reid's to spend money. For that reason, Reid's to me is more of a "Let's See what cool thing we can find" rather than "we need groceries" kinda store.
While I was there there were many people sampling local or homemade items. I enjoyed the biscotti lady, and the pimento cheese woman as well. Every sampler was very informative and friendly.
Reid's has a nice cheese and meat department in the store. Lots of great fresh looking things that make you want to cook all day. They even make fresh sandwiches and salads to order. I got a Cobb Salad, which was okay - it had steak on it and the pieces were cold (I wish they were warm) and large so it was a little tough to eat, I also took it to go and didn't get barely enough dressing in my take out to cover the salad.
What I bought
Cobb Salad - $9
Locally Made Pimento Cheese - $9 (8oztub)
Local Choc. Cover Toffees - $9 (Small bag)
I'll be back when I need another specialty chocolate fix, those toffees were ridiculously amazing. A tasty mouth explosion!
