The Cheapest Macarons While in Europe

 We love 😋 Macarons. Here in the USA our most inexpensive source is Costco (approximately 45 cents each;  small size, see picture below).  

We loved eating Macarons while on our recent vacay to Germany and Turkey too. We found that the Macarons in Istanbul were a little bigger, fresher, and cheaper --- at 60 cents each (USD)!! 

 Compare that price to approx. $4 each in Wiesbaden, Germany; and $6 each in Dublin, Ireland per our friend, whoa 😦

Covid-19: Buy These, If You Please

I am doing my part to support small or local businesses during this season of coronavirus.

A.  White Pine Vintage is a one-woman operation that has an account on IG. 

Found her through word-of-mouth via one of the people I follow.  I ordered thru her website for her beautifully-scented hand-poured candles. She is often out-of-stock (she's that popular). I strongly suggest that you DM her if that's the case.  She may still be able to get you what you want.  I do not know much else about K. (and vice versa) other than from my personal orders and from reading/watching her daily posts on Instagram. You will notice that she is a hard worker and has a good nose for scents. You be the judge, but I give her a thumbs-up so far for her popular, wonderful soy candles.

A macaron is a sweet meringue-based confection made with eggs, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food colouring. It is also calledLuxemburgerli. The macaron is commonly filled with ganache, buttercream orjam filling sandwiched between two biscuits. The name is derived from the Italianword macarone, maccarone or maccherone, the Italian meringue. ~ wikipedia
