      Yeah dog, is not just our government… Well, I guess this is because of the lack of a government for the people. But yeah for more than a few years shopping for groceries has become where do you personally get the lowest prices. I get different discounts from my partner.

      We now shop at a store that doesn’t play this type of game but many people live in an area that only contains stores like this.
