A massive merger of grocery store chains that included many locations in Illinois is now on immediate hold thanks to concern from government regulators.
If you ask just about anyone which store has the least expensive groceries, you'll get the same answer. That grocery store chain has just added 3 new locations for a total of 97 stores in Missouri now.
This is so obvious I'm almost too embarrassed to share it. I said "almost". It's the "ultimate bucket list" food item from Missouri and the choice is a big freaking duh moment that will have you rolling your eyes.
Here's another reminder that all heroes don't necessarily wear capes. A doorbell camera captured the moment when a family learned that the restaurant guy who was supposed to deliver their food had been arrested. A heroic deputy made sure they didn't go hungry though.
The state of Illinois is doing something that several other states have started. That's the quest to eliminate what they term 'harmful food chemicals' that are featured in many popular snacks. That quest is about to take on an official effort in Illinois.
