Do you happen to have a site that states that? It would be
understandable though, since it costs extra to ship everything here
through the barge lines. Fred Meyer and Wal-Mart both have some great
sales, and those are what I look for, plus using cash-off coupons. From
what I hear, the cost of food has sky rocketed all over the country, and
not just have gotten higher here.
