Higher than jewel I think but I didn't care. I was just happy to be
able to stock up munchies for 5 nights. After reading here for years
I do realize I'm in a unique location for food shopping. You know
where I live and the choices around here. Seafood is the only thing
we're lacking.

My mom just moved back but went a step further and moved 3 1/2 hours
north of here to Wisconsin. She was down there for 15+ years so I'm
not sure how she's going to like the winter.
