Hey Julie,

Yes, Winco formerly Cub Foods was started here in the pacific northwest and
its a great place to find good CHEAP. Though I do have to give some warning,
I find some of the stores meat aisles giving off ghastly smells, so be aware
of that. Those stores that I get that smell from, I won't buy meat from.

But every thing else should be decent and great. I travel up and down the
Interstate from Bellingham to Northern California and these stores seem to
keep popping up more and more. :)

And the prices some times can't be beat very often.

I don't think I'll buy meat there with the exception of lunch meats. I did
buy a small package of ground beef. It was hard to find any that was lean
and I had to hunt for it. I prefer to buy grass fed.

We have to stay out of the aisle with the cleaners. I don't know what is
there but when my daughter gets near it she starts itching all over and her
eyes water profusely. It doesn't have that effect on me.

Wow, Jeremy! Long time no see!!! How are you doing? I see you still live
in the general area you were always in.
