Greyson got up from his nap today about 4:00. So, we gave him his bottle and we decided to take a family trip to the grocery store. Now, let me remind you that I absolutely HATE...yes I HATE to grocery shop. I think I even dislike it more than doing laundry....and that is pretty bad. So, anyway Nate does not think I am the best grocery shopper so he tends to join the ranks when we go, so whatever works. Anyway, there was a big deal going on --buy 5 packs of soda for $10 which is a pretty good deal. So, we get all the groceries we need and our soda and head home. Then Greyson and I decided to take a little trip to granny Ann and papa Mike's house and Auntie Amy was there with the Livster.
We all got to talking about the coupons and ads going on in the grocery stores and my mom says did you see the ad going on at Jewel right now and I said yes we were there tonight and we got our 5 packs of soda for $10. So then my mom proceeds to ask if I got my 2 packs of free brats...yep that's right people 2 packages of brats for FREE when you purchase your soda (and the offer ends July 1st I think or July 3rd). I started to get a little mad at this point and said NO I did not see that part of the deal. Now, you would think that a worker at Jewel would have told us to go get our 2 free packs of brats, but did they---heck no?!?!?!? So, I was a little ticked off by this point....My aunt Amy and I decided to go back up to Jewel....I made sure I had my receipt, went and grabbed my two packages of Hilshire Farm brats, and headed right for the check out lady and she honored it...Good thing or she would have had some trouble...lol! So, auntie Amy got 5 packs of soda and 2 packages of brats, granny Ann got 5 packs of soda and 2 packages of brats, and yes I received my 2 free packages of brats that are now sitting nice and pretty in my freezer...That's two meals for me!! So, I guess the moral of the story is if you get the ads-make sure you read them before you head to the grocery store because it could save you some time and some money! And I think it is safe to say we can all use a little bit more of both!
You forgot to mention we also found some soda that had an additional $2.00 coupon on the side, making the deal 5 12 packs of soda and 2 packs of brats for $8.00!!!!!
