ocnativeSo I thought I would be the only one who got all giddy over this, but after calling Stacy and squeeing with her, I realized that I had to tell my little corner of the world. (Another reminder why she is my MOH, LOL.) I told Chris that twenty-something women squee over guys and going out clubbing, thirty-somethings, well we squee about marked down ground beef...
I went to F&E. I bought a bunch of stuff marked down (90/10 ground beef marked down to $2.25 for a full pound, etc.) and then I went to check out. Except my coupons (3 of them) expired 7/27/08. Today is 7/28/08. SHIT!
So I stood there, staring at the coupons, as if by staring at them, I could move time backwards or somehow change the pre-printed date. Nope, still 7/27/08. So then I thought, "Well I'll scan them and maybe some nice clerk will come over with some good ones and let me use a good one."
Except that it took it. And then it took the second one. So not only did I save a ton by buying markdowns (that are going straight to the freezer anyways) but I also got $10 off my bill. And a very nice clerk bagged all my groceries (despite it being a self-check out store) and gave me 3 or 4 coupons for next week.
I have every meal planned out for the rest of the week and everything has been shopped for. A lot of the items we already had on hand (which armed with a cookbook makes menu creation a lot easier.) Tomorrow night we are babysitting little Logan for about 2 hours, so I have a quick ready to heat meal from F&E for the two of us. The only stuff I need to buy will be for game on Saturday and I will buy that fresh the day before.
