Keep the change

March 11th, 2008 at 12:10 am

Saturday was a bit of a crazy day with my sister's wedding happening. There were schedules to keep the the world was just working against the schedule. I had to pick up some window markers to decorate a car with. I read that the 99 Cent Only Store carried them so I dropped in to pick a couple. The check out lines were packed. I don't understand how someone can have a checkout total for over $50 at the 99 cent store. That's almost 50 items in a shopping cart. Of course when I finally reached the checker, their computer system went down. I had 2 items to pay for and the wait wasn't worth it. I dropped $3 and ripped of the bar code off one of the markets and told the lady to keep the change. A waste of money but I didn't have the time to waste. At the end of the night, my sister and her husband loaned the car to 2 of the groom's men to get back to their hotel. The newlyweds took a taxi and 2 guys took the carried decorated with "Just Married."

Here's a picture of the main course:

    I know what you mean I had a coupon for Sweet Tomatoes and the girl did not know how to ring it up Frown then wanted me to wait. After I said to her for the third time to forget and just ring me up, I got my meal for free
    How was the wedding?

    Actually, if it weren't so frustrating, I must admit it would make a great Saturday Night Live skit, being in line behind someone with a $50 order of 99 cent items in the dollar store, ha!

    Amber, the wedding was wonderful. I my little sister is now married and all grown-up. I have more more little sister and brother. It so sad, yet so happy. I need to share with my sister that what she did in budgeting and planning for the wedding is what I do in every aspect of my life.

    davera, that would be a hilarious skit. Probably would be well done by Ms. Swan saying, "Ahhhh, every-ting so cheat, but I buy so many of every-ting, so now Ms Swan has no more money."
