I've found that the real bargains aren't in the flyers. For example,
my local Cub (South Minneapolis, near Lake & Hiawatha) has an area of
shelves for $1.00 items. The green tea I found there (100 teabags)
probably isn't the highest quality, of course.

In the meat department: three pounds of bacon ends and pieces for
$4.99. I prefer ends and pieces to better bacon. But since I use
bacon in small amounts, I'm not sure if it would really be a bargain
for me.
