when you're fighting a bag lady for a marked down, dented can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup in the discount rack at the store.
I went to the store today with $35 (that's AFTER putting $15 worth of gas in my car) to get SOME food (stuff I could stretch out into different meals), plus cat litter. Of course the cat litter was the most expensive $11 (Feline Pine). I was scrutinizing EVERYTHING (I don't really need to eat healthy, just sustain this svelte, overweight body of mine) I managed to buy a family pack of chicken boobies for $7.45 (so instead of eating egg salad for the next week, I'll be eating chicken salad instead ). I came to the "discount" rack (dented cans, opened packages, etc.) I thought I had hit the MOTHERLOAD!!!! I wanted to 6itch slap this lady because she wouldn't let me near rack to get what I wanted. I had my eye on a mighty fine looking dented can of corn and string beans (to add to my soup I'll make) and was just about to grab them. GONE!! After struggling to get around this rather LARGE woman (I knew if I put up a stink she could kick my @ss) I gave up. I have a confession *hangs head in shame* though. I bought 4 Granny Smith Apples. $1.49/lb!! How DARE I waste my money on such frivilous necessities! I'll just have to eat my cereal dry, that's all.
I hate shopping!! $35 just doesn't go far anymore.
