Wheelin' and Dealin'


I love to get a good deal, and in order to do that, part of my strategy has included receiving 5 Sunday papers so I can get multiple coupons. After several months of not really attempting to get any deals I recently strategized, planned and clipped my way to the grocery store to get a screamin' deal. Who can resist? Or so I thought. I headed out to my local grocer and after gathering the loot, I organized the groceries into price points because you have to do this exactly, precisely, and completely right so that you get the best price, well there was trouble... The deal machine wasn't working properly, there was a two time manager visit and a mother of three whose children were doing gymnastic moves behind me on the bar separating the checkout lines. I can only imagine the darts this woman was sending my way. Believe me when I say I felt her pain as I have been at the check out line with rambunctious children myself. I started sweating after the manager came the second time and I overheard the woman in strong tones saying "if you don't stop that, I'm calling your Dad" Well, I left the store and yes it was a screamin' deal and if there is a catastrophe in the next three months come on over, we'll do laundry and eat brownies. The pantry is stocked...

only brownies? and no cake with frosting?

Man I love and hate those screaming deals. Albertson's is the best/worst too, because you have to count EXACTLY! (And my kids are expert gymnasts on the bars too)! But it sure is nice to get a screaming deal, especially when you're done sweating.
