It reminds me of shopping back in the 70s when times were tough. Mom gathered every grocery flyer and circled the items that were on sale for each store. I guess there were really only 2 or 3 stores to choose from where we lived, Publix, Winn-Dixie, and Choose-n-Lose (our nickname for Pic-n-Sav). Publix was the furthest from our house, so shopping trips there had to be done only if we had another errand in that direction. She tried hard to get only the sale items, but there are always other things you need to get that aren’t on sale. We often did without, or stretched whatever we did have on hand.
“Pic-n-Sav”
Haven’t heard that in decades.....we had one right outside our neighborhood on the main drag.....most of the stuff in those stores was truly low quality crap.
