A giveaway from the Buc-ee's in Auburn, Alabama!

Do you have a Buc-ee’s where you live? I’d heard of the chain from my sister, who discovered it on trips to Texas with her Texas-born husband, and when I went to Texas with her four summers ago, I went to my first Buc-ee’s. Alex had never been to one, though, so on Saturday, after visiting some sites in Alabama that we wanted to see, we stopped by the Buc-ee’s in Auburn, which opened in April.

I had imagined the buzz might’ve died down by now, but no. They were still doing a brisk business at the chain, which has 120 gas pumps and over 50,000 feet of retail space. It is definitely a sight to behold! 

In Texas, I remember being impressed by the enormous array of snacks and all the bottles of every flavor of Tazo tea. This time, I was especially intrigued by the clothing, cookware, and gifts. I definitely need to go back there for some fun Christmas shopping. (“And where on earth did you find this lovely gift, Angela?” “Well, actually, I got it at this wonderful gas station in Alabama …”) And while I did not plan to buy a Buc-ee’s T-shirt (tea-shirt?), I saw this one and had to have it!

I had to have this oh-so-true tea towel as well, and I also got one to give away to one of you! So if you don’t have a Buc-ee’s nearby (or even if you do) and would like to win this tea towel straight from the finest gas station I know of, just leave an “Enter me” comment to this post between now and 7 a.m. EST on Friday, August 11, 2023, and you’ll be entered to win. (And feel free to leave your comment on my Tea With Friends Facebook page if you prefer.) Good luck!
