Glad you found a deal that satisfied you - that's what it's all about. I
have to ask though - what is a "peep"?

peep = people (multiple)
Like going to the grocery store right before Easter and finding

Grammar Nazi: "s" is therefore redundant.
...except that Casper was incorrect.
Peep is singular, peeps is multiple. As far as I know peeps was used way before peep.
Wouldn't Little Peeps be an Easter candy? '~)
