Besides, there are all those samples...  One thing I've learned:  avoid the 
fish.  Whatever it is, if it's fish it's awful.  I wish they'd hand out samples 
of their Sonoma chicken salad, though.  I've made my own using tuna instead of 
chicken (look on the list of ingredients, there are no secrets), and it's pretty 
good and much cheaper.  Probably better if you use chicken breasts (on sale, of 
course) but that's more trouble than I'm willing to go to.
