 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.
