Michigan Tightwads Re: Went to Wiseman's today

I stopped shopping there in the fall after their had been closed
to "remodel"- that is when they no longer had bargains worth going
the extra distance for.

with regular prices. I found almost NO bargains (and in several
cases, found it to be more expensive) in the main portion of the
store. I did grab 2 packs of shaved ham lunch meat for $.99 a pack
(brand name- don't recall what brand), and they had lunch sized bags
of chips (light doritos, tostitos, and sour cream & onion chips) at 5/
$1, so I grabbed 5 of those to send to work with Nick.

planning to hit Wiseman's when taxes came back, along with other
bargain shops), but the freezer section made the stop worth it.

These will work GREAT for adding to scrambled eggs, or for making
breakfast burritos, or putting on top of homemade pizza. And it'll go
a LONG ways!

MmmMmMmmM... 2 pounds for $2.53

Or, if we can, it'd still be more expensive.
