Hmmm. The WFs that I frequent certainly do have bulk sections,
and I used them in two different stores today. (I forgot to get
something at the first one.) I THINK I see bulk cornmeal there,
but I would have to check to be sure.

I heard today that WF is in talks with a little grocery store
chain around here about acquiring it. I have mixed feelings about
that. The main negative point, is that the chain in question has
rather low prices. I don't think it's great to reduce such options.

And when, of when, will WF get some competition?
