I forgot about Aldi, that should always be part of the mix.

My wife misses having a large garden in northern Illinois. Everything grew there.

Pick-n-Save is a subsidiary of Roundy’s is a subsidiary of Kroger.

I miss Menard’s. Better than Home Depot/Lowe’s for most things, especially home shelving solutions and Rubbermaid products.

We didn’t raise animals when we lived in northern IL, but many people did, and the deer hunting is unsurpassed, and we were often the beneficiaries of the best meat and the freshest goat milk and eggs. Too bad Chicago is attached to Illinois.

First, I’m retired Navy and live near the base.

I got totally over having half of the items I need at Walmart locked up. Our Norfolk Commonwealth’s Attorney (DA) stated that he would not prosecute shoplifters, so Walmart locked stuff up. You have to get an associate to get it and have to pay for it right then.

So we went back to the Commissary. Good prices, great choices, and we don’t have to deal with the Walmartians.
