Two items that strike me as interesting.
1.  A nearby Wal.Mart sells a half gallon of whole milk for $2.55.  A gallon of whole
    milk, same brand,  sells for $2.50.

2.  A cardiologist prescribed Viagra for Kathleen.  The chemical dilates blood vessels, and 
    he wanted the vessels carrying blood to her lungs to dilate, thereby increasing the amount 
    of oxygen going to lungs.  He prescribed 3  pills a day, 20 mg each.  Our pharmacist said 
    it would cost $1200 for a month's supply.  Her local doctor said, "You don't have to pay 
    that much.  Do what the men do.  Order it from Canada."   We ordered it from a pharmacy in
    British Columbia.  It arrived yesterday, from India.  We got 60 pills, 100 mg each, for $200.
    A three month's supply.  The company that manufactured it in India calls it  MANLY.  

Cheers  --  Lawrence
