I wasn't tired, as such. Just lazy. And those Healty Choice deals are
the trifecta, esay, tasty, inexpensive.

Gordon's has two locations in North Carolina. Concord and Kannapolis.
Probably neither is convenient to you. My Gordon's is just across town.
Plus they've taken to selling rotisserie chickens after 4 in the afternoon
for just U$3 each. And they have Minor's soup bases (branded GFS but the USDA
number tells the tale)
