Just an FYI to anyone who has a Walgreens near. Some Walgreens brand cold and flu items are marked down 90% and are buy 2 get one free. Outdates are not until 10/25. I got the Walgreens brand Mucinex for $4.99 that was originally $45. Total was $9.98 for three and I had a $5 register reward and I used $4 in Walgreens cash. Paid 98 cents and saved $120. I bought other cold items as well and will share with family.

I love, love love large curd cottage cheese but have trouble finding it. All I see, everywhere, is small curd. I have a texture problem with small curd (and beef) so I have to go without. Hey, grocery dairy buyers, don't forget us texturally challenged eaters!! Also, people who make their own sauces, etc, from scratch need to include the cost of their labor in figuring the cost. You very rarely save a lot compared to buying a canned item.
