If you’re out shopping and see new products, snap a picture of them, and send them in via an email (theimpulsivebuy@gmail.com) with where you found them and “Spotted” in the subject line. Also, if you want to send in photos and are wondering if we’ve already covered something or if they’re new, don’t worry about it. Let us worry about it.
Hey the pictures looked great in today’s email. Looks like you got the format fixed nicely! ?
Um, why post a beer as spotted? It’s likely regional.
Are we sure it is “Sarah R” holding the items in her posts? A couple of red flags for me, but feel free to shame away:
1) Manicured nails that are mostly typical of a male’s fingernails, esp. in width of thumbnail;
2) Visible thumb hair normally seen on males in the pic in this post of Trader Joe’s Pickled Jalapeño Pepper Slices
Sarah, if this is truly you, I apologize in advance. If this is a significant male other helping hold products photographed, I apologize, for this, as well. I know you’re a significant poster of new products and I mean no disrespect.
Ok, I’ve been debating whether or not to reply since I first saw your comment, Stephen. My curiosity won the debate, so here I am to ask:
Why the heck does it matter whether “Sarah R” or some unidentified “John Doe” is holding the items?? What elevates your doubts to the status of “red flags”?? Is it really of that importance?
I mean no disrespect, Stephen. I just don’t understand, and I prefer to understand things if I can.
