More to love at S&R Membership Shopping

 There's more to love at 
S&R Membership Shopping!

Yup it's that time of the month again.... shopping for groceries and almost everything else here at my favorite S&R store.   It's a monthly thing they say, it's a chore but for me, it's the best time of the month.  It's where I get to go around every aisle, enjoying the rounds, checking old and new stuff and reading about what products are here for you.  Yup I do read the labels, and here are some of the interesting stuff I found.

Welcome the latest change in McDonald’s — the new and improved Burger McDo

The new and improved Burger McDo

Nothing but sweet memories comes to mind with every Burger McDo I munch on whenever I visit McDonald's, It has been with me through good and bad days, everyone has their own story with Burger McDo.  And nowadays young people want their most precious things, including their tried and tested products, to evolve with them—to grow as their taste and preferences mature over time. When they look for change, they don’t want something new, but improved; not different, just better.

Keeping up with the changing times, McDonald’s introduces the latest change in one of its all-time favorite products. Your beloved Burger McDo is now made with beefier and juicier patty, tastier and sweeter sauce, sandwiched in a soft bun. Like you, it has also changed and evolved over time.
