Wednesday Grocery Day...Kids Dressing up



Today we went to the local grocery store (King Soopers) for their re-grand opening sales. This started when I left my house around 7:15am, and ended when I got home around 9:30am. Since I was one of the first 300 customers, I got a coupon book (should be a "free" book because everything in it was a coupon for a free Kroger brand item..free cheese, popcorn, bacon, crab, hamburger buns, peanuts, toilet paper, and many more) I also got a free re-usable grocery bag, since my 1 bag I will bring in to use will save the planet!! So I went because milk was 99 cents a gallon! And will remain 99cents for a week. I also got 20.00 in grocery store credit for transferring my prescription! The kids acted crazy, and it was so crowded, with people and employees, it was a great deal, but it was hectic. i really hate when my kids want me to use the cart with a truck stuck on the front because those carts are a real pain in the butt to turn, and to move! So I had Teagan (really her friend Cheyenne because Teagan was too scared to go get me another cart) I had to have 2 carts!!! OMGoodness! I have never ever used 2 carts at a grocery store! But the Pepsi products were 5 for 10 bucks, so I couldn't fit everything in that tiny basket attached to the truck cart! Throughout the store today they were handing out freebies, and Teagan ate 3 mini-loafs of bread by 930! And when I got home I have like 3 extra ones in my bag? BTW my kids are always throwing random food into my cart, and I get home and wonder where that came from? Now I pay attention to the price screen and catch a lot of items like little toys, beef sticks, cheese sticks, gum, tic-tacs, chocolate bars..etc.. I went to pay and the check stand guy (a total retard) because some of my peanuts didn't ring up free, and my 20% coupon for the meat I bought wouldn't work, I asked for a manager, and at that time they had started their grand-opening speeches over the intercom. The checker was like you can wait till the speech is over and I was like OK I have all day to sit here and wait...So I waited (JUST KIDDING) I made him pick the peanuts out of my bags and I paid and left. Then I put my groceries in my trunk, and we went back in to the store for some cake. They had this huge cake the size of a long folding table! So we ate some cake, and when I walked back in they handed me a Colorado Scratch Ticket, and I won a million dollars! After I won a million dollars, I still ate the free cake...And the kids still fought over the little scratch things they handed out to scratch the ticket. And I got asked if I was 18!! HAHA!! This was my morning! Right now my kids have dressed themselves up as Aragorn, and Teagan is something scary for the Renaissance Festival. They saw a commercial on TV and of course we have to go dressed up. We will go do that on July 5 or 6, since its Prince, Princess and Pirate Day and kids are free with a paying adult!
