Wow, that's *really* great news to post on a worldwide newsgroup!
There's a pizza shop here in town that has *really* great pies, too.

Thanks Ron for the info. You may not know Dan, Kroger is a BIG food chain
with locations all over the country.
I found the tip to be helpful and worth checking out because we have Krogers
all over TEXAS.

Sure..Kroy Krogers..famous actor and musician. Appeared in many
westerns. He was also a renowned stuffer of deceased animal stars. On an
unrelated issue, Dale Evan's whereabouts are still unknown. Toussad's
has no comment.

Please remember to include the location and any extra toppings in all future
RRS pizza reports.

Thanks!

IIRC, Kroger is the largest grocery chain in the United States (and
they tend to have decent produce).

There is (or was) a Kroger employee on this newsgroup.

All over Mississippi, too. The one in Vicksburg is about three miles
from me.

You can run a shortwave radio on batteries (some of them you can, anyway).

I haven't tried to run a radio on a pie, but.....

Will that preclude Mike Terry from posting info on FM stations in the UK that
cannot be received here in the USA?

Get over it!

STAY AWAY from Kroger batteries if you value your electronics!

They are shoddy cheap batteries which are made in China that start to
leak after 2-3 Weeks of intermittent use. Don't put them in your radio or
other
portable unless you want to clean it out with baking soda after they
explode and leak "battery juice" all over the insides of the unit.

I lost an inexpensive but handy Radio Shack scanner
to these cheap crappy China AA batteries that Kroger and
other similar stores like them sells.

Stick with the name brands like Eveready, Radio
Shack, Ray-O-Vac, Panasonic and others.

If the battery says "MADE IN CHINA" on it, don't buy
it or you'll be sorry you did later on !

Hmm, I've had way more problems with Ray-O-Vac batteries, both in the
old days, and recently, than all the other battery brands put together.
Used those terrible Kroger batts for a couple of years, and had zero
problems..

Last I heard, Saudis have no trouble at all getting into the
US. They're therefore eligible to take advantage of the sales.

That's strange. I have a drawer full of Ray-O-Vac batteries; I've been
using them for years now. The only good rechargeables I have are AA
Ray-O-Vac NiMH. Ray-O-Vac are my second choice after Eveready, but
they're much less expensive than Eveready.

Better yet go NiMh!

Ray-O-Vac AA's seem to leak more than all the other ones do. I almost
lost a very expensive handheld when a set I had just bought started
leaking. If the battery indicator hadn't dropped like a rock, I wouldn't
have checked them and seen that 3 of the 4 were oozing nasty looking
stuff out of the - end.

I've had to replace 3 or 4 of the battery holders in handhelds due to
them leaking too. Only had one other brand leak, some "Chenmung" AAA
batts that came with a remote control. I called the warranty number and
they fedexed me a new remote.

The only batteries that I've ever used that were noticeably worse than any
other brand are Maxell. About half the life of any other brand. Walgreens
batteries are a very good buy.

I haven't had that problem either. I've had the occasional Energizer leak;
I've had a lot of Kirkland (Costco) batteries leak, but only those that
were lightly used and lasted a long time in the equipment; but I've been
using a whole lot of Ray-O-Vacs over the past few years (I buy the AA
batteries 30 at a time) and no leaks.

Opening my battery drawer, I'm slightly low; I've got 2 D, 14 C, 4 9V,
39 AA and 20 AAA left.

Incidentally, I cut my AA use *greatly* by using NiMH in the DX-398.

To follow your logic, then no posts should be made to this newsgroup unless
the event described in the post can be experienced by everyone in the world.

So no logs can be posted, because they could "only be heard in Ohio" or
wherever.

At least this Kroger battery posting was quasi-on topic, unlike the majority
of posts in this newsgroup.

I just wish I had a Kroger nearby. That's a good deal!

None here in Florida.

Besides, this is a World Wide group. Posting about sales at your
local grocery store is still stupid.
