Got that right!
Good Morning and Happy Sunday to you Gobblin and to the rest of the sleeping Driveler Nation this morning.
Every year around December 1st, I purchase some of the best pecans ever and give them to my best customers, closest relatives, and really close friends in Texas. They turned out to look like these and they taste so good that your tongue will slap your face while eating them. This is a local business in Augusta and I watched them pack all of these exactly like I wanted before being shipped etc.
The good news is that this includes Milk Chocolate Amaretto pecans, Milk Chocolate Grand Marnier pecans, regular Milk Chocolate pecans, Roasted and Salted pecans, and in the center, is Cinnamon coated pecans.
I'll admit that these are not cheap by any means but I have been doing this each year for the past 35 plus years now. This year set me back $563.00 total including shipping several of these to various states. In the long run, it pays me back very nicely though. Of course, these beautiful containers (with various Christmas scenes) that they are packaged in are awesome as well and can be used for many more years in storing various items.
I also bought another $120 or so of raw shelled (packaged in 1 lb. bags) this season pecan halves from Cook's Pecan Company located in Davisboro, Georgia (Phone: 478-348-6550) and they have been awesome as well. Most of these have been for my use and also some close relatives as well. Some of these are also in my freezer at -20 F and they will still be fresh all year long too. Their pecans and their personnel are great and they were just about 1/2 price of what other Pecan Companies wanted.
***(UPDATED FOR MORE DETAILS) FOR THE CONTAINERS BELOW ETC, I have been buying them from the Greene Family (which is a family owned business and was originally was called, PECAN'S UNLIMITED FOR OVER 35 YEARS. They also ship these for me direct to my customers etc. They ONLY operate the AUGUSTA business location from around November 1st until they sell, package and ship everything which is about December 15th - 18th each year. Their Son also has another location in Decatur, Georgia and it is also called GREENE'S FINE FOODS and I have visited and purchased from that location back about 5 years or so ago as well. That location does have lots of other food, candy, items etc as well. If you call them, they will be glad to mail out their brochure with all of their goods listed etc too.
