Lucky you. I could have _sworn_ I saw it in one of the markets in town,
but I checked Stop & Shop, Big Y, Shoprite, and Aldi and none of them
had it, further I asked at all of 'em but Aldi and they looked in the
computer and confirmed that they did not have it. Must have been the
Finast that was replaced by Shoprite.

Need to make a run down to Hartford soon to hit the Chinese market.
