To those readers that buy their Weekly at Walgreens, they will not be there this week. Walgreens Headquarters has not given us the new barcode for their system for 2026. You can purchase your copy at the Dunkin Donuts on Frenchtown & Basin Rd. or the new DE Food Market on Route 9 (beside Sassy Nails). We are sorry for this issue but have been trying for months to get the new barcode!
