My partner talks so much about this grocer, its history, and operations.<\/p>\n<p>We shop there often.  From mid-June through mid-July, we would get an entry coupon for the store&#8217;s giveaway each time we shopped.  My partner always wrote MY name on the coupons &#8212; never his own.  He is such a private guy.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I received a call last Saturday from the store manager advising me that I won this prize!  I just laughed and laughed and laughed.<\/p>\n<p>My partner and I went to the store last night to claim our prize.  I not only got the car, but also a bag full of groceries.  The store manager took my picture and we &#8220;drove off.&#8221;  LOL!<\/p>\n<p><i>N.B.:<\/i>  I am donating this car to a worthy local children&#8217;s charity in a few weeks.
