help needed - cous cous

[kimberlogic.livejournal.com]

We've looked at Restaurant Depot, 3 Costcos, 2 BJs and several grocery stores in 3 states and we can't find bulk cous-cous. I haven't even found more than the small (feeds 3-4) boxes. The van is loading tonight and has to leave ... if anyone is willing/able to pick up 10lbs. of cous-cous at the Harvest Coop, Whole Foods, etc. and bring it to Baitcon by Saturday morning, we would be very grateful and we'd reimburse you. Reply here if you can help.

I may not be the best choice, since I've never bought cous cous before and might get the wrong kind or something, but I could do that. But as I said, you might want someone who knows what they're doing buy it for you.

I have about 1.5 lbs sitting on my pantry shelf that I would be happy to donate to the general cause, if it would be useful.

If you don't mind, more couldn't hurt ... :)

Will do! I've only used 1/4 of the original container in 2 years, so I think it will go to much better use at camp than with me. :)

I have bought cous cous before and could pick up 10lbs for Baitcon, if that would not step on forgotten_aria's desire to be helpful. If price is more of an object than bulk packaging, I could even see if it's cheaper at Market Basket in whatever packaging it comes in, and then hit hole foods if that seems stupid.

I want baitcon to have the right cous cous. that's WAY more important to me than being helpful. Plus if I messed up, that would not be helpful.

Ok, I'll grab cous cous tomorrow morning, then, and it will arrive on Friday.

I am also happy to pick up last-minute stuffs and things, if you need. JB has my cell #. I'm leaving around 12 or 1 tomorrow, but can get stuff up to then.

Looks like you're set for this. I live next to Harvest so if you want anything else from there I can get it tonight.
