The bad news first: I had placed a special order for 8 cases of Angel Soft toilet paper – which came in – to go with my HC 10 case order – which didn’t. So here’s my dilemma: do I get sucked down the overpayment drain or walk out on my special order and make the store eat it. You have to understand that my Jewel has a ridiculously small back room with no storage. Nowhere near enough to keep an extra 8 to 10 cases of toilet paper.
Obviously I bought the damned toilet paper. Once you go back on a special order, you can pretty much kiss any future deals bye bye. Why would they take a chance on you again?
Sooooooo, in total, OOP is $82.85. Picked up 39 Angel Soft ($120.51), 6 cans of Folgers (22.68) and 13 snack cups (the only thing that was cheap: $1.64). I used up a bunch of the Ultra Aquapod cats and some RRs. Ended up with 3 $10 Con Agra cats; only rolling the Con Agra cats would have been $144.83. Hope to get more of the .50 Angel Soft coupons in the next 60 days, which will ease the pain somewhat.
but I’m hoping to turn a profit during stomach flu season.
and I got 18 more stickers for pots…
See, now, you’re a better person than you make yourself out to be 😛
Although in my evil defense, I did consider just placing my specials at another Jewel…
