Lots of chicken wings consumed.

They are selling for $3.79/# retail, and I typically pay $1.89 because I
buy strategically. First thing in the morning, like a half hour or so
after the store opens, they mark down the meat. If a product had a
Jan. 31 sell by date, they will have marked it down today, which is Jan. 30.
I keep an eye on the dates, and know when to be there to snatch the discount.
Instead of early morning, they do the ground beef at noon. Sometimes there
is serious competition for that.
This will be the only NFL game I've seen all the way through all year.
My son will probably watch at least some of the game with me, but I
think he likes the idea of liking football more than he actually
likes football.
