Oh! I didn't notice there wasn't an electric supply section. but now that you mention it...
People keep telling me that there is a place in Freddies where you can go and buy wine and drink it there. I still haven't noticed it at the North Freddies...they seem to have deli seating, but at the South one it seemed like a big thing and I wondered if that was part of it, that other things were sacrificed for having that. Serving in alcohol in mundane places has hit our podunk part of southern Oregon. They serve booze at the movie theater now too. There's a big trend towards supermarkets with real restaurants inside, which of course, being Southern Oregon, is another trend we're behind on. And yes, serving alcohol.
Lots of Kroger’s( Freddie's corporate owner) have put in dine-in areas.

Every dime store had a lunch counter. And Winco is in the former K-Mart. I still don't want to take a date to Freddie's.

Anyway, I'm looking at this Clicklist thing. I'm not sure what the appeal is. I buy these specific salads in bags to take to work, but they aren't listed, but I buy them there... So, that's my first confusion with it. I'm still examining it. I suppose once it has most of your preferences in, the stuff you buy weekly, it could be convenient, but so far I'm not able to to find a pretty basic item that I could go pick off the shelf.

Pretty sure it's the fact that it's faster, easier and you don't even have to get out of your car .
Beats me my wife does it.
Is it one of these salads?

Did the salads have any romaine in them? They've all been pulled.

I considered that possibility, but no, they are mainly cabbage and stuff.
