Gas is currently selling for about $3.89 to $3.97 a U.S. gallon around here.

I paid $2.97 a gallon the other day. That's a dollar a gallon discount.

Giant offers 10 cents off a gallon at Shell for each $100 you spend at
the supermarket. Thus, if you spend $1000, you get a dollar a gallon
discount.

I keep getting phone calls offering me 25 free gallons of gas if I
will sign up for some insurance plan. It makes me wonder how
overpriced the insurance is. (certainly $100 right off the bat)

I am sure Giant is getting their dime back. They were always high
anyway. Joe Danzansky needs a yacht too I guess.

BTW when you are 64.5, your phone starts ringing off the hook with
insurance offers and my mailbox is stuffed. It starts to make me
wonder how much Medicare actually pays. I know my insurance from IBM
will actually get higher if I read all of the documentation right. I
haven't really got serious about this but it is pretty confusing so
far. It really looks like the benefit plan throws you under the bus at
65. I know the IBM Retiree forum is saying the WalMart drug plan is
the best, better than Part D or the IBM/Medco plan.

The Danzanskys sold Giant years ago. I think it is on its third owner
since then. Now that a big corporation owns the chain, quality and
service have deteriorated. We also have Safeway, Food Lion (a terrible
operation), and some distance away, a couple of premium supermarkets.

That doesn't surprise me. I do remember when Giant opened the first
store near me. up on Marlboro Pike on the Md side of the line in Coral
Hills and put our little DC neighborhood grocery store out of
business. (The Normandy Market on Benning Road)

i wouldn't trust prescriptions from Wal-Mart.

I am not really sure why not but I know you are not a WalMart fan. I
don't really take any drugs so it is not really that important to me
right now. I get my fish oil and a multivitamin from Costco or Publix

Of course you know why Harry "says" he wouldn't get prescriptions at
Walmart. They are a non-union shop. Screw the fact that millions of
folks would die if not for them... Yes, like the dems say about the
republican plans, "people would die" if they shut down the Walmart
Pharmacy.

A couple years back my wife had an injury and the medicine opened up a
peptic ulcer in her. I have never in my life seen anybody in as much
pain. The meds at Walgreens were 240 dollars, 20 at Walmart. My heart
meds are 180 a month at other pharmacies, I get it for 20 a month at
Walmart and trust me, if it was bogus (which is what harries talking
point of the day is), I would know it within 8-10 hours.. Period.

People that usually could not afford the life saving meds they need,
would die if Walmart was knocked out of the market by selfish asshats
like Harry, shilling only for the unions. "**** the people" is what his
kind say, they just want the dues money...
