debit cards. They don't have advertising. Their "sales" usually run an
entire season (holiday baking supplies have been "on sale" for a month now).
And, they don't offer a frequent shopper card. They do generally have
several carts worth of discontinued or nearly expired food, if you want to
fish through that. And, they have the broadest selection of ethnic and
natural foods outside an ethnic or natural food store.
But, Kevin won't shop there cause he thinks it's too grungy. ;)
