I've used it  for Aldi and Costco. Used it  in San Diego as well. Works the same all over so not sure what your question is.
Was curious if pricing is way more than in store...

@yesitsme Traffic lights may be controlled by the city's Department of Public Works, unless it's a county road, where the Department of Transportation may be in charge.

This is his public email address, and he sees these emails (and responds usually, I believe). rcoles@lakewoodnj.gov

Just out of curiosity, why you contacting him?

ETA: just noticed your subsequent posts...

I recently also waited on Vine for a ridiculously long time to turn onto Oak.

Wonder what people think of this idea?

https://twitter.com/one_county/status/1278836913235951617

The organization was recently formed, with the idea to try to build bridges between the communities. If I'm not mistaken, Tova Herskovitz is the one behind it.

What happened to veltnews aka Greater Lakewood?
Seems like it closed down!

When I checked earlier, the site was down, but I thought it was probably temporary. But I see now that he deleted his Twitter account, so it must be that he closed. Strange... I wonder what happened.

I think so. How are the lines there. If there is usually a long wait I won’t bother.

The amount of propaganda and garbage posted by TLS is always overwhelming.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

TLS is the most professional site that covers Lakewood, with the most connections. However, he has serious allegiances and will often report one side of the story. (Loves the police. Used to love the vaad, but not as devoted anymore, since an incident a year or two ago).
If you are familiar with the background of what goes on, you can gain a lot from the site, but you need a good counterbalance. I think Hefkervelt is a good counterbalance. Very unprofessionally set up, but a treasure trove of information, and he seems to be aligned with everyone TLS is not. Hefkervelt actually will quote almost every other media outlet, but I have never seen him quote TLS. If you check both sites, you can usually get a decent picture of what's going on.

Both of my parents cars are from him, we've leased from him over 4 times. He's extremely honest and would go way out of his way if any hiccups come up (our experience was a huge hiccup when returning our previous lease from a different company).

That's besides for the corruption TLS is involved in, like the billboard fiasco.
