Sometimes it feels like we are spending most days in the grocery store. There is always something we need, especially when there are hungry teenagers at home.

Surprisingly, a lot of people are interested in healthier eating habits. They have ditched the burgers and fries for lean chicken and vegetables.

But what are the best supermarkets to go grab your healthy produce? Some of the top stores are located in South Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota.

Some of the best supermarkets across the country include:

  • H-E-B (Store locations throughout Texas)

Hy-Vee is a great resource for all Midwesterners. Hy-Vee has "exceedingly popular homestyle prepared meals." It's one of the few places to get hot food for a decent price.

Who Is the 'Lewis' of Lewis Drug? Here's The Story

To answer the essential question of 'Who is the 'Lewis' of Lewis Drug?', let's take a little trip. Well, actually, more than a little trip. We're hopping into the time machine here.

Whoosh!

In many ways, it is not the best of times. What has become known as the Great Depression was still having its effects. It might have been in the rearview mirror, but it lingered still.

And, just a few months before, Pearl Harbor happened and we were into World War II. The country was more than jittery. This was going to be more than tough, this was going to be life-changing.
