I don't want to stir up a dust storm here, but I agree with you, Wayne.

I don't particularly give a damn what's on sale at Albertson's (west coast
chain?), so I just disregard those posts. Simple to do.

And if I hear that someone's getting good prices on such-and-such, I'll
check the store(s) where I *do* buy groceries. That's called Real Life.
