This morning, after stopping by to visit The Boss Lady, the kids and I made our mid-week grocery run. This was the quickie trip for milk, eggs, bread, Dr Pepper, you know, the staples of the kitchen. We were passing the new Super Target, with a grocery store, so I stopped there for our grocery run. When I saw the milk for $3.19 a gallon, we made a quick run through he toy section and headed to our regular grocery store. No way am I paying $3.19 a gallon for milk.
Once at the grocery store we make the rounds and grab the few items on our list. Boy, was I happy to see that their milk was marked $3.25 a gallon. Yep, passing on the expensive milk at Target sure was a good decision. No, I did not make return trip, too close to nap time for that. Yes, it is only 6 cents difference, but last week I bought 2 gallons of milk for $5. So The Talker will drink this $3.25 a gallon milk, and like it.
None of this would have bothered me six months ago. Back then, I did the small grocery runs, but The Boss Lady would do a large grocery trip every weekend. Now, in an attempt to free up more cash for my hobbies, I am starting to watch grocery ads and I am trying to shop for the best deals by going to a couple of stores. The Boss Lady says that I could start clipping coupons while watching NASCAR, too. I guess I will, but she will have to wake up early enough on Sunday to steal the coupons out of the neighbor's paper.
