Full time employment: Posting here.
That was the subject line on the email I sent DW this morning. We had a really busy weekend and she had no time to go to Giant to buy the loss leaders that are the only reason we shop there. I do most of shopping at Aldi. So last night she made up a list and said, I quote, "I tried to keep it simple."
There were only 14 items on the list, so I blithely went out this morning after rush hour.
You can judge the success of my trip from the body of the email which read:
Why?
1) The Pillsbury flour on sale was only the regular all-purpose, not the unbleached. So I bought the Giant brand.
2) They had 10 different kinds of Tide, but not the Simply Clean and none of it was BOGO.
3) What kind of Lipton tea? There were only 5 or 6 choices.
4) Mangoes were tiny and didn't look good.
5) Don't tell me I bought the wrong crackers, I tried to follow your instructions but there were SO MANY CHOICES.
6) Largest Roast was 3.5 pounds, so I got that.
7) What the hell IS Brownie Brittle, anyway?
8) The only caramels I found were Ghirardelli, pretty sure you didn't mean that.
9) Initially grabbed the wrong pork tenderloins and had to go to the service desk for a refund. After I got home, I'm not so sure that the Giant brand was really that much of a better deal, even with BOGO.
Not bad, 14 items on the list and only 9 caused me frustration.
Hope your day is going well.
Fortunately, she took the note with good humor because she is a wonderful human being.
