Cheaper

Once again, the local "co-op" grocery store (yes, the one that's usually about $1 per item more expensive than Whole Foods for the things I get) is cheaper than the presumably cheap grocery store. Years ago, Mary and I compared Quaker Oats from Food Lion to bulk oats from Weaver Street, and WS was about half the cost per pound. This time I compared the per-pound prices of dry roasted peanuts and walnuts: $2.98 and $5.24 at Wal-Mart, $2.49 and $4.99 at Weaver Street. So don't assume too much ...
