Along the way I hit up a few more Walgreens, looking for ground flaxmeal:  Not one Walgreens I’ve visited has had any stock. A few didn’t even have shelf tags for them. Given the classic Walgreens scenario over the past five years, my guess is that the stuff was selling so well the warehouse decided to stop shipping stock and then corporate will discontinue it. ’cause it’s a twofer with them, dontchaknow…

Since I was passing a Dominicks anyway, stopped in to check out the Ice Mountain supply.  Took the only 28 bottles they had…then got lured into the bakery black hole where I was forced to buy a clamshell of plain croissants and a loaf of cinnamon bread.  Large displays in front for Arm & Hammer cat litter for $5, with $2 peelies on ’em.  Since FirstBorn had just informed me that the cat needed more litter, I figured that this was a sign from the goddess of cheap (I am only her high priestess).  They also had carts of ice cream pints near self-check, being marked for clearance.  Obviously they had no Cherry Garcia or you would have seen that in the picture, too.  Ended up spending $13.72 – stupid cat!
