1. people, make your own hummus!

It's tons cheaper and easy. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/easy-hummus/ but instead of canned garbanzo beans, just get raw garbanzos and boil/simmer them for about 2 hours (til soft) in salted water

7. I always prefer my own, home style hummus.

I want more garlic in my spread and dislike the baby food texture of store bought style.

13. Even better. Use a pressure cooker. Cuts two hours down to about 5 minutes.

Oh yeah. I forgot. We can't use pressure cookers anymore. Only terra-ists use them.

Never mind.

There are so many great DUers that shop at both stores and it would be a shame to see any of them get ill or die.
