Stopped by at Food Lion tonight for some shopping. Most of the frozen foods aisle was severely depleted, probably because FL took a big hit last year because hurricane Isabel knocked out power for almost a week. With Jeanne possibly on the way up here, I can see why they're paring down a little.

Anyway, if your grocery store offers a discount card (like the Food Lion MVP card), by all means sign up for it. I spent about a third less tonight because of the discounts. I bought stuff that I knew was a good price (boxes of cereal for 99 cents, or pasta 3 lbs/$1.00).

Also, I found out recently that FL will donate to charities of your choice when you use your MVP card. Easy money to your favorite cause!
