| 5 - Second-hand chocolate? |
|
Discounted chocolate right at the side of the road? At
Exit 104 in VA, head to the Russell Stover Candies Factory Outlet and
take a FREE taste from the open box as you walk in to whet your
appetite. There are first quality boxes, but those "seconds" which are
to the left of the store have only slight imperfections or are
overstocks and taste exactly the same for a lot less. Look for sugar
free or low carb chocolates, holiday special boxes and individual small
packs for car snacks. The staff will happily create-a-gift with your personal selections. www.russellstover.com Tel: 804-448-1169. Another fancier location - ice cream parlor, candy kitchen and one
little corner in the back for sale items is at Exit 98, Santee, SC |
