I can use CTA, just trying to make trips the most cost effective. You
are so right about Walgreens, Sometimes they have the most amazing
sales. They had Jif peanut butter a while back, 3 jars for 5 bucks. I
would have paid at least double that at a grocery store. They also had
Bertolli extra virgin olive oil at a great price. Sometimes I go to
the Whole Foods on Huron but mainly I just eat the free samples. : )
