A Small Shopping Rant
My regular weekly pattern involves going to Von’s on the evening of my first day back in San Diego to buy items for lunch and dinner for the rest of the week. I almost always want a bottle of Sierra Mist Free, and occasionally I need a 12-pack of Diet Coke. My needs for the week are quite modest so I take a basket around the store rather than a trolley.
For the last few weeks, my soda items have become quite expensive when purchased singly. But if I want to “buy 3, get 2 free” then it’s a steal. But I don’t want to carry 5 bottles of Sierra Mist or 4 12-packs of Coke around the store with me. Yes, I could drop everything and go get a trolley but I don’t need one for my 10 items (or less), and I don’t want all that in my fridge.
It’s very annoying.
Oh, a Friday video…. I love this version of Cameo’s Word up by Willis. You can buy it on the iTMS, but here’s the only video clip I could find, from the episode of CSI that first turned me on to it.
