Shop-Rites (and wrongs)
Today we finally made it over to the new Shop-Rite supermarket , which had been trying for two weeks to lure us over to the Mile Square City's west side. Their primary method of getting our attention was stuffing our mailbox full of colorful circulars featuring a bunch of coupons with the word "FREE" in large bold type and "with purchase of 2" in tiny type below it. We didn't bother with any of those coupons as they were for things we didn't want anyway, so we saved even more by not buying them. We did get, among other things, a box of Raisin Bran big enough to use as a guest room in an emergency, once we finish eating all that cereal that is, and that might take a few years.
Along with the Shop-Rite ads, we've also started getting similar greetings from other stores, including one called Pathmark, which sends us 16 color pages worth of bargain announcements every week, but has yet to tell us its address, or even what city it's in.
