This regional availability of certain items is not at all unusual. There was a Swanson's product that I'd bought fairly often in KC & St. Louis but couldn't find anywhere in the DC area. I contacted Campbell's (Swanson's owner) and was told it was not distributed in the DC region -- no reason, just not done. Campbell's was nice enough to send me multiple coupons for Campbell's, Swanson's, and other associated brands, even one foor my intended product. But no cans of goodies! Then on a road trip one day, I happened to be in a supermarket in mid-PA. They had my product! I bought about a six-month supply and planned future drive-abouts in that area.

I do miss the double-the-value coupon policy my local Giant store in DC area had. For the most part, I don't bother with coupons here. With double value, it seemed worthwhile. I know it doesn't make sense, but . . .
