We used to do a lot of word-play games growing up...  Started by our
parents, but we kids took to them and ran with them...  :)  And with a
husband that tends to take things literally, I've also learned how to be
careful to make the meaning clear... ;)   Obfuscation may be fun, but
not always productive... (G)

 RH> I get basics I'd buy anywhere at WM; they're usually a few cents less

Most basics I can get good prices on Wegmans brands... there probably
are a few brand name things that I might be able to save a few cents on
at W-M, but as I really dislike even walking into their superstores, I
don't go after them...

 RH> Other things I'll buy where I can get what I want at a good
 RH> price. Lowe's is good for meats; Harris Teeter is on the expensive
 RH> side but good quality.

That's more my general shopping philosophy.  :)  And here, it tends to
be Wegmans and Lori's for me... ;)
