Up here we get sent coupons for stuff we never buy. I think our
grocery stores sell addresses to the competitors of the products we
normally buy.

Oh, Oh, watch out George. If Miz Anne gets into quilting then the
"stash" starts to be built. In quilting, the"stash" is all the
material you buy and store in anticipation of incorporating it into a
quilt at some time in the future.
There is a saying among the quilters around here that goes something
like 'Whoever has the biggest stash wins'. Gerry has been quilting for
many years and I'm sure she in the running for winner ;-).
