take that, Jewel!

Tongue in cheek here, but when Pita and I stopped at Jewel for the AHA Saturday Sampler and a couple of watermelons, we found the Glen Ellyn store had no melons for me.  Luckily the Dollar Tree in the mall was completely stocked with Thomas English muffins and bagels and sausage rolls.  I take the cardboard out of the muffins bag and can fit 1½ packs in the one bag which then rests quietly in the freezer.  I also picked up another 5 pk of ramen for a buck (they still maintain shelves of buck items).
