Thursday evening we went to Kroger to pick up a prescription and to buy just enough groceries to pop us over the $100 mark of saved points. Our Kroger does a gasoline promotion that basically saves you 10 cents per gallon of gas for every $100 you spend. I used the last 10 cents off when I filled up last Sunday. The promotion ended today. We put what we thought was enough in the cart. After checking out, I checked our total and we topped out at $94. The better-half stopped on the way home and bought toilet paper. It was enough to send us to $103. Woohoo, cheap gas!
While in the booze aisle (drugs, tobacco and alcohol don’t count towards the promotion), I snagged some Yuengling and the better-half collected some wines. I was standing in the way of a woman who really should just stop drinking. Period. Forever. She was blonde and of a certain age. Her skin was boiled pink and she was wrapped tighter than a tick in a very short and tacky skirt. She was also wearing some sort of short rain coat. She couldn’t have been more Mechanicsville if she tried. I got out of her way because she was a little frightening and she was honing in on the Miller Lite. She grabbed a suitcase of Miller Lite and sent the next one over crashing to the floor. She looked at me and said “don’t buy that one” and put it back on the shelf. Then she staggered towards the cash registers.
Oh my. That’s beautiful.
Wow, $9.00 worth of toilet paper?
I wish we could buy beer and wine in grocery stores in Maryland. That would save us lots of trips.
Actually it was a little over $7 (mega-pack) and he bought a bag of Munchos to round out his purchase.
