  • $20 for $40 worth of local artisanal food, candy, and gifts

The store is a hub for rare and specialty foods, such as disks of stone-ground chocolate infused with guajillo chili or cinnamon, both found in the Taza chocolate Oaxacan sampler ($10.99); Saporoso Riserva balsamic vinegar that is aged 8 years in Italy by the Malpighi family ($29.99); 12-ounce bags of freshly roasted coffee by Portland's acclaimed Stumptown Coffee ($14.99); and agave-sweetened Amella Caramels ($7.99). All visits offer complimentary samples of almost everything in the store; if something isn't available for sampling, visitors are invited to request a taste before purchasing.

Buyer’s Best Friend

Just like a real best friend, Buyer’s Best Friend makes shoppers' lives easier and more refined. The company, which deals directly with wholesale artisanal retailers, scours the world and local markets before incorporating only the worthiest goods into an inventory the Bay Guardian called "among the best gourmet food selections in the city." Everything from smoked salts to organic coffee to gluten-free bread mixes are on offer, and most in-store items are available for sampling, according to SF Weekly. Nonfood items range from organic skincare products to dish sets made out of bamboo.

Buyer’s Best Friend isn’t only for casual shoppers, however. The storefront's online portal serves as a curated aggregate of specialty-food wholesalers, enabling some 5,000 buyers across the country to compare prices, compare policies, and place multiple orders on artisanal products from a single site.

The Groupon Guide to: Shoveling Snow

If you don't remove snow, it will build up until it covers your car, house, and even your four tall brothers who stay outside guarding the house. Here's how you can free your property from this white monster:

  • Start by picking out your shovel. The proper shovel size is as long as your arm span and large enough to incapacitate a raccoon.

  • Use the proper form when shoveling so that you don't hurt your back. Proper form is to squat all the way down on the ground, lay the shovel full of snow across your knees, and then stand up very suddenly, jerking the shovel above your head and holding it with both hands.

  • Remove the snow from your front walkway first. It might be snowing outside, but you still never know when an attractive salesperson or giant-check delivery man might stop by.

  • Continue by shoveling all of the snow from the front yard and putting it in the street. Look at all of the grass you freed.

I'll handle that raccoon.
