I was very surprised to discover it's not all over the place (and that it's
sold pre-packaged!), Goomba. As I said, I don't like the pre-packaging
thing. I want to be able to pick and choose my own, not buy something
someone in the store put on a styrofoam plate and shrink-wrapped.

Oh, I can get in, no problem. But I can tell you from experience, they
don't have great produce either. LOL And with the price of gas at
$3.15/gal. it's really not worth the drive to Parris Island just to look for
squash.

Some consolation is the first of the shrimp are coming in. When I was in
Publix last week they had some freshly caught that day. Granted, it was
$12.99/lb. for medium (still pretty big) shrimp. The price will go down
once the season gets in full swing. <G> They had fresh mussels, too. I
forget the price, but I sure can't find fresh mussels in Memphis!
