When I go to the Outer Banks, I take my beach time very seriously. In fact, I often go the whole week without setting foot in a car, store, restaurant, or movie theater. I’m either on the sand, in the water, or at the beach house. But as we got in the car to drive back to Virginia from North Carolina, I started getting a little nostalgic when I realized I didn’t have anything beachy to take with me — not even a sea shell. So we pulled over at Forbes Candies in Nags Head to load up on salt water taffy. I know I blogged taffy only a few weeks ago, but Forbes’ goods were about 800 times better than what we had at Kimball Farm — and quite a bit cheaper, too. Plus, Forbes had more than a dozen flavors to choose from!
I loved the fun key lime and orange creamsicle flavors, and the classics like watermelon, strawberry, blue raspberry, and chocolate were equally delicious. The store was also fully stocked with all sorts of beach souvenirs and paraphernalia, but I stuck with my dollar’s worth of salt water taffy and went on my way.

We should exchange blog links – one of our tag lines is similar to yours – “save a dollar a day to keep the collectors away” (most of our subscribers struggle with debt). Anyhow, great job – hope to hear from you…Randy
