We stopped by the grocery store for ground sirloin to grill out burgers. ALL we needed was ground sirloin.
FAIL.
And furthermore - does this really look like $67 worth of food?
It is. And that's after I "saved" $15 with my swipper card thingy that every freakin store now has and I have to keep track of so that I don't have to sign up for yet another one on my next trip just to save $1 on milk and then lose that card too because I don't need 18 savings cards hanging from my key chain.
Seriously - every store has these cards now. We were at Toys O' Stress and they offered me one too. I don't know about other parents, but the only time I'm in this store is if I HAVE to be. I don't normally leave the house with the full-on intention of putting myself through it. And really, a savings card for toys? Who is at this store often enough to need that?
For the record:
Attention Managers of Retail Stores:
When I check out - I do not need to be bombarded with questions. I just walked through all your aisles with a 6 year old - you can't convince me I'm not ready to punch someone.
No, I don't need batteries for these toys. No, I don't need batteries for anything. I understand I receive something free if you don't ask me the battery question, however, I can assure you...I. Don't. Care. I'm not waiting to call you out should you fail to ask me the battery question.
No, I will not be using my ____ (insert store name) credit card. No, I don't have a ____ (insert store name) credit card. No, I do not want to sign up for the ____ (insert store name) credit card that will save me 10% today but cost me 8,502,555% later.
AND - NO, I don't want your stores savings card.
Really? I'd like to just hand you my money, you hand me what I handed you my money for and I'd like to walk on out of here before me and the giraffe go toe to toe. O-kay?!
I blame the ground sirloin for everything.
