19. I don't buy much in the way of specialty brands of anything...

so, things like those aren't a deal breaker for me. There are four grocery stores between here and the Winco, but I don't want to make a bunch of stops to get the shopping done.

Now if it were something along the lines of needing ricotta cheese for lasagna, and all they had was cottage cheese, damn straight I'd be making another stop, but not for specific brands.

Thanks for responding with more details.

We have a friend in AZ who loves them AZSkiffyGeek May 2023 #1
