91 boxes of cereal for only $5.46
This is my trophy purchase so far. . .
I've been wanting to post my photo and haven't had time. This was a sale a month ago at Albertsons. 7 Boxes for $4.00 and then I had a coupon for $4 off of 4 boxes. All I had to pay was $.42 tax. It was one of those sales where you had to pay after each group of 7. I unfortunately didn't have any cash. 13 Transactions later, I was joyfully driving home. . .
I was so proud. Tim was even bragging to people about me. Well, when one's head gets a little enlarged, BEWARE!
I purchased these items on payday and you know how sometimes it takes a day for the check to "process". To make a long, dreary story short - I had no money in my account. The following week I got 13 notices in my mail. I had been charge $18.00 for EACH $.42 transaction (luckily they paid Albertsons). AAAHHHH! $196.00 later.
I regretfully phoned Tim (that is the really scary part). He was actually really good about it. I think he was in shock. He took care of me. He talked with a branch manager from our credit union that just happened in his office. She thought the story was so funny; she went right back to her office and refunded all the fees. PHEW.

WOW...all I can say is WOW!
Jeni, Have you read Lily's Purple Plastic Purse?
no.....?..?....?......tell me more
ROFL - I'm sorry to laugh, but it sounds like something I would do. Thank goodness for hubbies and clerks that feel sorry for us when we are not thinking.
ps - Lilly's purple plastic purse is cute!
Jeni - Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse is a children's picture book (super cute). Lily is a mouse; she has a cute little brother named Owen. Anyway, she's Miss Drama and she's in Kindergarten or first grade and she absolutely loves her teacher (Mr. Springer I think) She wants to be just like him.
Every day at school she says something or shows him and the class something a little off the wall and "Mr. Springer said, 'Wow' that just about all he could say was 'Wow'"
I quote him a lot for Elle.
