Good Morning, Mr. Haldeman, this is FOOD-NET, your friendly
computer-assisted shopping guide. We here at MOM & POP GROCERY
INC. are pleased to announce many specials in the brands that our records
show you typically purchase from our Main Street store.

Texas Light Beer, which you consume at an average rate of 3.7 cases a
week, has been marked down 35 cents a case from our everyday low price.
This represents a potential savings to you, our valued customer, of $67.34
a year.

We here at MOM & POP notice that you have started smoking again
after a 2.3 year lapse. Thank you for making an informed choice. May we
suggest you check out our toothpaste selection and perhaps consider
shifting from Ultra Dazzle to Scrub-It-Away, a special toothpaste designed
with smokers like yourself in mind.

Sure, it costs a bit more, but wouldn't you feel more confident and
self-assured knowing that those ugly nicotine stains won't embarrass you
in public? While you're at it, we offer a wide selection of cough drops one
aisle over.

According to our files, Mr. Haldeman, you were due to purchase fish
food two weeks ago. We sincerely hope your beloved pets have not met
with misfortune. If so, may we suggest a visit to THE WONDERFUL
WORLD OF PETS for a replacement?
Mention FOOD-NET at your time of purchase for a 5% discount.
