How about Martinelli's Sparkeling cider? I saw it al Walmart for 1.78 a bottle. Has anyone seen it cheaper?

Thanks for the work! It is appreciated. I have seen Marie Calendar's Frozen Pies on sale at Macey's, Allens, and Buy Low for $3.98 each. Also Walmart has Mrs. Smith's pies (pumpkin, cherry and apple) for $3.00 each.

This kind of list takes A LOT of work - I did it for a couple of years so I know.

So a big THANKS to Ducklette for her hard work!
