Linda check your email please.

Wow thats cheap, the store brand are usually over $2 a doz here, and the cage free happy chicken eggs I get are $3.45 a doz.
It took me the longest time to remember to buy eggs after our last couple of chickens died, I was running a geriatric chicken ranch and the old girls still managed to lay an egg most days

We are paying $3.89 a gal, still cheaper with tax for you. I hate that it's so expensive here.

Here in the midwest where I am, milk is "on sale" at $1.99. It's normally $2.49-$2.99.

So, if we could find a way to make cars run on milk, we'd be just fine.

I'd have to drive 7 miles in the other direction to get $3.97 at next Costco. Saw on the gas price map:

We go down in your direction four times a year since my DW cardiologist is in Encino. We have been staying at a hotel in Simi Valley overnight but we like staying at the Holiday Inn in downtown Burbank because we like the town. If its good enough for Debbie Reynolds and her daughter its good enough for us.

The train station comes right into downtown Burbank so you can hop on it and get around the city a bit from there (since the traffic is God awful).
