T-3 days to the Miley Cyrus concert. You wish you were me.
I went through the circular over the weekend. I was trying to be thrifty. I saw that three different grocery stores were offering my favorite free turkey promotion. Spend a certain amount, get a free cluck-cluck. I carefully choose my store, make a list, and head out. I shop, I calculate - I spend the desired amount and choose my prize. I make sure it's a heavy bitch, too.
I roll up to the check out. I load up my thanksgiving feast and food for the week. As she scans the items I see them adding up to the goal and I'm proud of myself for mentally adding properly. Lastly, she scans the giant cluck-cluck. I wait to see her punch in the code so that it will magically come off...FREE TURKEY...it should say. Nothing happens. She says, "147.56 please."
...
Um, did you take the free turkey off? I asked innocently, knowing the bitch didn't.
She says, "That promotion doesn't start until tomorrow."
I just...I don't...I can't even...when I plan something and I get all excited and it revolves around food and someone breaks my little heart like this...complete devastation.
Do I make her void the order and put everything back? NO. Mortified. Do I just buy it all and try to shop and spend the same amount later on in the week again to get the turkey later? NO.
She must have seen the smoke from my brain working so hard (or the tears)...she gave me the turkey anyway.
I'm quite pathetic.
Also, the girl told me I have a little belly like the Grinch yesterday. Cake topper.

We've done that before. Went to the register all excited to be getting this great deal only to find out it starts the next day. No one ever felt bad enough to give us the deal anyway though. lol
Btw, I love the mom uniform post. We have different groups of moms here and I laughed so hard reading your interpretation! I will have to tell you about ours sometime...
Please do!
