Well I dropped Glenn Beck a long time ago too...so maybe they quit him the same time I did :-).

I never even tried Sargento until I had a great coupon a couple weeks ago...now I’m loving it. I’m talking of their cheddars only though. I haven’t tried the others.

That’s my kinda price, I’d have bought a bunch, too! I made a box last week using heavy cream and butter, and wow, that jazzed it up.

Vermont is exceptional when it comes to promoting their *Vermont* products.

I’ve been hooked on Vermont Bread [Brattleboro] and happy I can buy it locally in CT.

Isn’t Plymouth the hometown of Calvin Coolidge?

Up near Killington, IIRC. Beautiful area.

**Everyone should look at what Kraft Foods did on the market yesterday... ticker symbol KRFT. Time to cash out and celebrate with some Kraft Dinner.**

A financial guy on Fox Financial said if you invested $10K in Kraft 30 years ago....it would trade for more than $220K today.

What? No antitrust challenges from the feds? Huh?!

Not for the Oracle of Omaha, who also weighs in heavily in the insurance and local newspaper businesses.
