   Wow. Most of the time the difference between buying organic is a few cents. But 2.99 lb wow.

   I like that you included Walgreen’s. I don’t shop at CVS, Walgreen’s, etc because I’ve found they’re not as competitive. For instance, I buy milk on Saturdays to pay about 2.64/gallon at Ukrop’s, and one of the drugstores had it in the Sunday circular as being on sale for over $3.

   I’m not going to do the frozen turkey sale because I prefer to buy the holiday meal in the box from Ukrop’s. It’s tasty and I’m lazy, what can I say?
