I suppose it helps on milk that you are in Wisconsin!

The eggs I don’t understand - we have tons of chicken farms around here.

The part I REALLY don’t understand is how your “Kwik Trip” manages to beat Wal Mart. The operational efficiencies would seem to be almost all against them. For sure, I’ve ALMOST never seen “better than Wal Mart (or Aldi) food prices” at any convenience store I’ve ever stopped at.

(I say “almost”, because for a few months a few years ago, one of our local convenience stores at a gas station was running milk a few cents lower than Wally. The manager was working a register one night when I stopped by on the way home, and I asked him, as a fellow businessman of sorts, how they did it. He said it was a loss leader to bring people in.)

Well, anyway, I’m glad you have such a “break”. Just jealous.

In Wisconsin Kwik Trip is pretty much as big as Walmart and they do everything in-house. They’re HUGE here in the Midwest. I love them! We all love them! :)

So I’ve been grousing about the price of milk, and what does wifey bring home from another(!) party with her fellow area Filipinas (actually a crawfish boil, but of course everyone brings lots of other foods):

A chocolate cake.
