One such thing was tablecloths. Those creases from the folds really bothered me (and the really nice but opinionated older ladies of the church).

Also, I had forgotten about the new Spring edition of Diabetes and You Magazine. {Read More}

According to Christie at WildforWags (I haven’t made it to the store yet) the Sinex is not printing the RR as it should. Also the Motrin IB was not marked on sale even though it is stated in the ad.

Please leave us a comment if you find different signage at your store or have different results than {Read More}
