I swear, I *always* get the carrots! This time I got Best Foods mayo. In
the past I have gotten a lot more freebies. Such as a case of bottled
water, American cheese, chips, dip, eggs and yogurt. I did get $1 off my
next order. I will probably give that to my mom as I don't plan to buy
anything else there for a while. My store was QFC but they are owned by
Kroger.
