    Perhaps that is a better term. Thanks My mind was numb from listening to him go on and on and on and on and.... about his accomplishments. It was a 40 minute phone call with only about 5 minutes of relevant information. My ride this afternoon made it all go away! I'm energized and happy once again. I even did a ton of yardwork later this afternoon. The wind was howling by then - glad I went when the winds were only 15-20

    Why does Walmart have to sell Clif bars and Luna bars for only $0.96??? Everywhere else around here sells them for $1.59. Why must they do this to me???

    Trader Joe's has 'em for 99 cents.

    I don't think they are as common as Mall-Wart, though.

    There aren't any trader joe's anywhere near here. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

    You could also order direct from Clif: http://www.clifbar.com/shop/clif.cfm?location=shop
    $15 for 12

    REI gives 20% off if you buy 12 or more of any sport-food: http://www.rei.com/online/store/Prod...cat=REI_SEARCH
    $12.96 for 12

    Still have to pay shipping. Good try! If I'm placing an order for something else - I'll see what deals they have at the time.

    What's even worse - they have boxes of 6 for $5.47 which bring the price to $0.91 each. That's pretty hard to beat!

    You could buy a whole bunch at Walmart, then make a monetary donation to a food bank or medical emergency fund or homeless shelter to help the folks who work at Walmart make it on the low wages and lack of benefits.

    I lived in a little town that got a Walmart. It was pretty devastating. I've become a bit of a passive activist (is there such a thing?). I try to buy stuff only at places that pay living wages and give decent benefits to all employees even if it costs me more. I figure if I'm getting something cheap at Walmart, it's only because I'm ripping the food or medicine from one of their employees for the lower price.

    Guilt. Guilt. Guilt. And I'm not even Catholic...

    They're just trying to make your life miserable.
