Today my sweetie and I made our semi-monthly trek to the grocery store. Before we head to the store, we always make a list, gather our coupons and pour over the ads to find the best possible deals.
We weaved our way through the rows and filled our cart with everything on our list and then some. We finally pulled up to the check-out and proceeded to watch the bill go bigger and bigger and bigger. We proudly handed over our Roundy’s card and the pile of coupons we poured over earlier over coffee. The clerk gladly scanned the card and the coupons and then gave us our total. I swiped my debit card and then watched as the clerk picked up the phone and called the manager. Knowing that I have plenty of cash in my account, I quickly asked the clerk “what’s up? what’s the problem?”
He smirks, looks over to us and says with a shit-eating grin, “you saved too much.” I was like “yah, whatever. What’s the deal?”
Just then the manager bounces over to our clerk, swipes her card and pushes a few buttons and my transaction completes as it should. I asked him again what the scoop was and he replied once again “you saved too much money.”
Seriously?!? Have you ever had someone tell you that “you saved too much money?” Needless to say, I giggled all the way to the car. I saved too much money… too funny.
