Was just given a green zebra coupon book by a fellow shopper whom I had met at A&N the week before. I had asked him just for his famous foods coupon but he gave me the whole book,Have long been planning to buy a bag of coconut,bucket of coconut oil bag of powdered milk a jug of Dr Bonner soap. Every winter i stock upon staples to last out the lean months until Easter if anyone wishes to add to this order we could divide a sack into4-5-6 4ljugs at cost price,a real saving as food prices have begun to skyrocket
