FRISCO, Texas -- When Maureen McGovern walks into Gerrity's Supermarket or Schiel's Market or Price Chopper these days, she gets a look from some of the workers.
"How are you?" one of the ladies will say. "We haven't seen you in a while."
Not too long ago, she would be at one of the grocery stores near the McGoverns' home in Larksville, Pennsylvania, three or four times a week. One store had its sales on a Tuesday. Another had one Thursday. The other usually waited for the weekend.
"Weekly, we'd spend a few hundred dollars," McGovern said of her grocery bill.
