The three markets in my little burg did not have it. My in-laws were ex-Army, I never saw them once going to a supermarket to buy anything. They always shopped for groceries on base. You'd have to be pretty dumb to do otherwise. They sell food ridiculously cheap at the commissaries. What where the names of the several stores that you purchased this mythical, magical, and oh-so-commonplace, manteca?
