Wegman's has a ticket you can buy at the checkout to purchase X$ of food for
the local Food Pantry which is neat which we normally do.. I want to check to
see if the other supermarkets here do also.. I didn't notice it at the last one
we went to..

Yes, Really! I haven't looked at a box of Shake'nBake in _years_.. And now, how

HFCS in Progresso Bread Crumbs, I bet it's in Shake'nBake :)
