You have the best senarios!! and I wish that my local stores carried a paper like yours - mine really close one told me last week that they only get 3 of the big papers (the local newspaper has crummy inserts) and the store that's about 5 miles away sometimes has the big paper and sometimes not so I hate making the drive in case they don't have it. But with your senarios it helps just to have a plan in case so that I don't have a wasted trip!!
