Karen, I do miss the Bay Area a lot, but there are some nice advantages to living here in the Southland...double coupons and cheaper gasoline.

Some good news to report: Vons and Pavillions still have the Frosted Mini-Wheats on sale @ $2 each. I visited Ralphs today and their price has gone up slightly to $2.29 per box as compared with $2 per box yesterday.
