In the cupboard...
I have saved over $100 now, using the Target Cartwheel app. However, along the way, I might possibly have spent more money than I would had I not had the app. Case in point: Little Debbie mini donuts were on sale for $1.79. The app had a coupon for 20% off, which made the donuts $1.43. I had a pharmacy rewards card that made them an additional 5% off: $1.36. So, the $1.99 donuts ended up being 32% off. So, of course, I had to buy a bag (or two). Only, I don't buy donuts. Or at least I would not have bought donuts if I did not have that Cartwheel coupon.
Math ... it's never my friend.
Late last night, before going to bed, I made another batch of gorp. It looks a bit odd, to me, since the M&M's are from the Easter candy sale. However, I had a hard time finding my Reese's Pieces (I use half and half when I make gorp). I knew that a bag came with the second to last Subscribe and Save order, but I couldn't find it. During the course of my search, I ended up reorganizing one of my cupboards. Whilst doing so, I found not one, but two mason jars of chocolate.
Me: Doctor, I have a serious new symptom.
Doctor: What is it?
Me: I keep forgetting that I actually have chocolate in my house.
Doctor: Well, we all forget things from time to time.
Me: Never chocolate!!
I eventually found the bag right where it should be: in the basket of candy bags atop the refrigerator. Yes, I looked there three times before finally "finding" it. SIGH.
Anyway, maybe it was the gorp-making or maybe it was the fact that I ended up on my feet far, far, far longer than I had planned yesterday, with the extra cooking and candy searching and reorganizing and gorp-making. I slept 13 hours. I've napped almost six more today. I am exhausted.
But I do have chocolate in my house.
Will you help me remember that??
