• Life is too short for bad coffee.BD Provisions takes its coffee roasting seriously, with 12 different varieties of roasts and 15 flavors. Whether you are looking for organic, light, medium, dark, or the best decaf coffee, they have something to suit every coffee lover’s desire. BD Provisions sources organic coffee beans and conventional beans from farms all over the world and brings them to their store in Severna Park to be roasted in their top-of-the-line Diedrich coffee roaster. You can stop by on most Saturday mornings to see the coffee-roasting magic! Try their best-selling coffee, Midnight Joe, which is made from a blend of three coffee beans to deliver fresh, bold, deep flavors. While you’re there, shop the hundreds of bulk food options including baking ingredients (including gluten-free ones), candy, cereal, chocolate, coffee, snack mixes, honey, syrup, nut butter, nuts and seeds, oils and vinegars, pasta, beans, rice, grains, dip mixes, dried fruit, drink mixes, granola, spices, teas, beauty products, pet supplies, and more!
  • P.S. BD Provisions supports zero-waste and low-waste shopping. They have a jar exchange program and complimentary eco-friendly packaging options. You can also BYO (bring your own) container that can be weighed before you fill it.
  • P.S.S. Their soup mixes in a bag are perfect for a holiday gift!

• Meal planning, but out of ideas? The Fresh Market has “Little Big Meals” for $25, making it easy to cook comforting, delicious dinners for four with minimal effort. This week until December 3, enjoy Chicken Pot Pie with your choice of creamy mac and cheese, smoky mozzarella pasta salad, or Tasteful Selections potatoes your way; and your choice of organic take-and-bake Italian bread or a 12-pack of mini vanilla cupcakes. From December 4 to December 10, it’s Schnitzel! Enjoy either lemon butter breaded chicken or pork cutlets; your choice of broccoli with sea salt butter or green beans with salt and pepper; Bechtle egg noodles; Aux Delices des Bois butter; and your choice of an old-fashioned lemon pound cake or demi-baguette. What a great meal deal!
