About all I find in Whole Foods is emergency lunch bars I can throw in my 
purse and yogurt.  No coupons on the other stuff.

other kids. I'm not sure we hunted eggs much past age nine or ten, and
maybe 
not that long.

On the other hand sometimes you strike gold.  I did that once literally -

Black 
Hills jewelry.  Needless to say I didn't mind!
