I ran out of foil today

and saran wrap.

Whats that got to do with anything you ask?

I last bought it in 1997 when the Price Chopper near me closed. It was on their last day they were open that I bought all they had. For a nickle each.

Took me 10 years to use it all up, but, hey, how often can you buy Reynolds Foil or saran wrap for a nickel?

I bought a case and a half of each.

    I have some of that nickle foil in my basement pantry. Got about 7 rolls left!! I bought mine last in 1992.

    It will be a sad sad day to bid the last of it farewell. Meanwhile I'm keeping my eye out for another good sale!

    Going long again next time I see it. Think we'll be lucky if we can catch it under a dollar this time???

    That is a great story, 10 years of tin foil and saran wrap ... I'm in envy. Figure the savings for the last ten years as prices have increased.

    I love this story! I want foil for 5 cents!
    We do still DH's British version of Saran that he brought to the US with him (he's an oddball) when he moved 7 years ago.
