It's an ugly, awful store in many ways, but the FOOD section is a major [B]WOW![/B] for those who "eat all the weird stuff"... (No fresh foods, however.) Bob's Red Mill, all sorts of packaged Asian import foods (soba & umpteen other kinds of noodles...) cool Italian imported stuff, and lots of other things I wouldn't otherwise be able to find in my part of NH. My daughter is basically dairy-free vegan, but add to that an allergy to CORN, and sometimes it's hard to find anything she can eat. (Check out the labels: almost EVERYTHING has some sort of corn product in it!) We make the trip to Ocean State at least a couple of times a month to pick up food for her. My husband HATES the place & refuses to even go in the door, but DD & I make it "an adventure"...
