No, the cats and dogs didn't eat too much of it ..... too salty and sweet for them ...... you would just cut off the corners where they nibbled .....

The one closest to me has a Subway and a Philly Pretzel inside and a Zaxby's in the parking lot.

Not sure if that trumps a McDonalds or not.

For example, if I buy milk from Costco, I have to repackage it in the plastic container from Safeway. That worked for a while, till the older one started marking the milk level with a marker.

They would have had a fit, back on the farm, watching the milk straight from the cow, being strained to strain out the dead skin (from the udder), particles of dried cow poop and hair.

I was about 10 years old when we finally got a milk pasteurizer machine.

Hey ....... I lived to have a ....... very good immune system ......

Sounds like you are doing it wrong.

I told my kids, that's what we got, don't want it, more for me. If you get hungry enough you'll eat it.

What's wrong with Costco?
Usually better quality than Safeway.

Start buying it in bags. Almost impossible to mark the level!

Sounds like my father's philosophy ........

And my philosophy, with my kids.

I don't know why I give into the whims of the granddaughters .....
