Ah! I see what you're saying. The lion's share of my shopping is
done at one store, I don't drive around following the sales circular.
Save 5 cents on potatoes and spend a 50 cents on gas, I know people
do that. If nothing else, I'm too lazy to bother. But I do stop at the
store at least twice a week. I wish I was able to plan and shop for
food just once a week, I can't seem to.
