It surprised us when both our sons took up smoking-peer pressure I suspect.

Plus I think that the cigarette companies are behind the quit smoking options too, that way they profit no matter what the outcome of their customers is.Sorniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057350597607764166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28789474.post-1170118083540681262007-01-29T19:48:00.000-05:002007-01-29T19:48:00.000-05:00Hey dont get me wrong if some dry good or some unb...Hey dont get me wrong if some dry good or some unbeleiveable deal is there I buy extra, for example I got 4 tilapia filets for 2 dollars all vaccum sealed, so I bought 3 packs.Christo Gonzaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593498830764421725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28789474.post-1170109759098932142007-01-29T17:29:00.000-05:002007-01-29T17:29:00.000-05:00Pink & DoggyB- I have gathered the NYC group finds...Pink & DoggyB- I have gathered the NYC group finds it easier and tastier to buy as you go.

I too had an excursion this weekend. Trader Joes, the local gourmet grocery store (specialty cheeses and produce), costco(you can't beat their price on boneless leg of lamb), the asian market (cheapest place in the world for all the necessary sauces, seafood and spices), the natural food store, the year round farmer's market, the wine shop and finally the pet store (their food supply was dwiddling as well). That ought to hold us for a couple of weeks....Michelle Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06531557631293805339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28789474.post-1170097093914478972007-01-29T13:58:00.000-05:002007-01-29T13:58:00.000-05:00"Hit the bank for more ammunition..."hahahaha!!

It really helps prolong shelf life!<BR/> When I first bought it, I had made some beef jerky for a kid serving in Iraq (He had mentioned in a letter he really missed it!). I sent him about 3 packs all vacuum sealed, which he actually got intact and excellent.buffalodickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663035745368682736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28789474.post-1170090070653293142007-01-29T12:01:00.000-05:002007-01-29T12:01:00.000-05:00I will probably go to your way if I can get a vacu...I will probably go to your way if I can get a vacuum pack machine.
