Friday... Four

- The Rosedale Sephora opens today.  They're not offering any sweet grand opening discounts, so I'm refusing to go until I need something.  Besides, I just got an Ulta coupon in the mail and their Roseville store will be a ghost town this weekend.

- The Mill City Farmers Market opens for the season tomorrow, 8:00am sharp.

- The Top Valu Liquors Grand Opening Sale also commences tomorrow.  Both new and very improved Columbia Heights locations have been open for a while, and both will be running the same specials: 10% off all liquor, 5% off all beer, 15% off all wine, 15% off all liqueurs, mixers and bar supplies, and 15% off all 375, 200, 100 & 50 mls (isn't that liquor?).  There are also a ton of wine, beer and liquor tastings going on, so click here for all the info.

- Yesterday kicked off the Eastside Food Co-op's special plastics recycling effort.  Now every recyclable plastic item that the city doesn't accept with your trash (like dry-cleaning bags, plasticware, plant pots, yogurt tubs and various kinds of lids) can be brought to the Co-op on Thursdays and Fridays for recycling, 7:00am to 4:30pm.

Their "moving" sale was pretty sweet, too. I went to the one on 37th near Silver Lake Road, where "moving" didn't even involve leaving the parking lot. It seemed odd, given that moving sales are to reduce stock to avoid having to transport a lot, but seriously- it was all of 150 feet. But hey- cheap(er) booze.

I made it out to Mill City Farmers Market today. The brass band was a fun touch. I picked up bison burgers and ground yak meat, and a nice little dress for my niece made of sugar sack. It really is adorable, there was no question in my mind that I had to buy it for her. Oh yeah, and a guy even sold us some vegetarian dim sum, that should be interesting.

I stopped at Top Valu's new digs tonight.

I approve. Highly. My favorite liquor store is now twice as awesome.

They're carrying a lot of new labels now that they have the space. (A new rye! That brings their total up to three!) And they have the single malts in a separate section from the blends, which is nice. Still the best selection (even more so than before) in the cities for single malts, too.
