Piattos is my favorite line of potato chips. The cheese-flavored variety in particular drives me nuts. It’s the godfather of all junk food.

I picked up a half gallon of Turkey Hill iced peach on sale, for only ninety-nine cents. Usually it’s a dollar ninety-nine, at Kroger but they dropped it down. Normally when I buy already made teas, I go for Arizona green tea, Snapple or Lipton, or just simply make …
