He will fight tooth and nail to get a coupon honored. He also brings things BACK to the supermarket if they are not satisfactory, like if one of the oranges in the pack is dry...he'll take that orange back and demand another. The GAS he wastes doing these things....doesn't matter...because, you know, it's the PRINCIPLE.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446770591516588794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-4706470446469411322012-05-23T20:17:53.097-04:002012-05-23T20:17:53.097-04:00Shopping in supermarkets.

Prepare ahead, pick <b>your</b> time - requires some reserch as to locale, crowding, re-stocking, school hours, etc.<br /><br />2. <b>NEVER</b> shop on an empty stomach - hungry shoppers are a marketers dream customer.<br /><br />3. Make a list - use it and stick to it. Avoid impulse buying.<br /><br />4. Never buy rotisseries chicken - if you've ever seen how they are handled prior to, during and after cooking you would know what I mean. And they are always the oldest stock chickens.<br /><br />(<i> Did you know that cooked chicken causes more cases of food poisoning than any other pre-cooked food item?</i>)<br /><br />5. Always avoid 200-year old Little Old Ladies with blue rinse hair, bad perm and a face like a wrinkled up like a Sharpei dog. Any supermarket they shop in is a '<i>below civil standard</i>' supermarket.<br /><br />6. Take a 'Fart bag' from a novelty shop (pre-loaded with rotten egg gas)and release it when on the end of a long queue and exclaim loudly "Ohmigawd! Who did <i>that!!!</i> and watch the queue rapidly depart (works wonders in a crowded) elevator as well, lol!)JohnDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608216150220329902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-53464654964427247322012-05-23T17:09:00.229-04:002012-05-23T17:09:00.229-04:00It's 7 am and I suddenly have a hankering for ...It's 7 am and I suddenly have a hankering for rotisserie chicken...Shelly - Tropical Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464868349672755774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-3848461114442698542012-05-23T16:12:29.421-04:002012-05-23T16:12:29.421-04:00Cranky......I like your writing and what you write...Cranky......I like your writing and what you write about.<br /><br />We all know that 200 year old lady......and that damned talking chicken got what it deserved.Lohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08398370059689865989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-11648667540633578772012-05-23T15:57:12.206-04:002012-05-23T15:57:12.206-04:00You have one of those ladies too.
