groceries---$$$ up up and away....

[nomoney]

You too

Gawd my kids were horrible in there one day. Of course I ran into Barbra and her hubby and BL and that was just the forum people. I also ran into a few former co-workers.

May I relay a story that I have already shared with a few others today.........



Imagine this; me, hubby; and two very energetic little boys at the grocery store. (do I need to go any further??)

we're standing in line to check out; not all the way to the conveyer belt yet; but next in line. I notice the boys snickering to eachother and over hear them questioning what gender the cashier is. As the cashier has a weave and a very very dark mustache. Do I ignore them and just change lanes knowing the outcome? NOoooooooooooooooo...of course not. :dur: My hubby pulls them aside and tells them that all people are different and it would really hurt her feelings if they continue on talking about it so loudly. That they need to remember their manners. They say all sweetly "yes sir". Awww...my kids are great.....YA FRIGGEN RIGHT!!!

They wait until we're all the way up in front of her....and my youngest asks..."Are you a boy?" (I nudge him in the shin to move forward but he doesn't budge) She say's "excuse me hon?" The oldest answers for him "he wants to know if you're a boy" (I tug on his ear trying to move him on now also...he also does not budge). The cashier says "no hon, I'm a girl" and plays it off nicely..I'm thinking whew..that was not that bad....until.............my youngest then goes "well then why do you have a mans mustache?" to which my oldest pipes in just to make sure she heard, "ya, you have a daddy's mustache but girls hair; thats wierd". She just chuckles and continues doing her thing being ever so not gentle with my tomatoes now. I grab them by their necks and move them down the line to which their going "what mom???" I tell steve; you take care of this I"m going to take the boys to the truck; to which my darling hubby throws his wallet at me; grabs the kids and goes "I got it! "(he's so kind to leave me at the mustache ladies reckoning).

My youngest then throws himself on the floor and starts screaming like he's going to get beat once he gets outside..." NO DADDY; i WANT TO STAY WITH MOMMY; I PROMISE I WONT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT MUSTACHE LADY!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" (you know just in case no one heard them picking on the hairy woman the first time)



Kids are great.

They're only bad in stores if you know someone there, you know that!

That I have learned.

My grocery bills seems fine here in fairfax. A wegmans is opening next week, will be curious to see what they will be like. Anybody ever shopped at one of those?

You are going to love Wegmans. The first one was built in upstate New York, and it has spread from there. There are a couple in Pennsylvania and I knew Virginia was getting one soon. I'm hoping they come all the way to St. Mary's County eventually, too.

I wouldn't say the prices are particularly good, except for the sale items, but they have just everything and it's always so clean and well organized.

Where in Fairfax is it opening? I'll have to find my way there soon.

Ahh. I see your mistake right off. When you ordered your kids, you ordered the kind with nuts. Don't you know nuts impair the ability to think?

I would have died of embarrassment.

You know you can never shop in that store again.

[likitysplit]

Ah yes. My mother always got some deals from there. Remember the old Jamesway?

yep, old school............

I wonder if shim went home and shave the Mustache.

Giant and Safeway are expensive. Always have been. They tend to have better selection, especially Safeway. Sometimes I just go in there to spoil myself with a visit to a "real" store. Food Lion selection sucks, but they have the basics and the meat isn't bad, but watch those dates and avoid "preseasoned" meats, where all you see is seasoning and can't tell if the meat underneath is off color. Also, watch the dates on bread and milk. They don't pull those suckers until the last minute

McKays, well, their only plus is they have alcohol and their fried chicken and birthday cakes are first rate. They occasionally have some good specials, but overall, you end up paying more for regular shopping and the layout of the store has to be the most retarded thing I've ever seen. It never fails that if I go in there with a list of things, there is something I just can't find. I'll find it by accident two trips later in the dumbest place.

Oh, Jabba, you really DO need to have your gas system checked for leaks. At the very least, compare bills with the neighbors who have similar houses. You seem to be paying an awful lot.

My kid was standing with me in line and a chubby ladies pager in front of us started beeping. He yelled LOOK OUT DAD SHE IS BACKING UP !

If this is the same lady that frequents SFW then no. We call her the bearded lady for obvious reasons.

Nah, it's Helga's only claim to fame.....without that attention, she only has the soup bone and the dog.

Maybe she ordered one of the four-cylinder super sized tasteful treasures that runs on gas. :shrug:

Vrrrrrroooooooooommmmmmmmm, Daddy. Vrooooommmm.

 

[JabbaJawz]

Have you checked for leaks?

We've called and questioned them twice - but, compared to the overall cost for the gas in '04, we're on track. hwell Only the previous owners were on the monthly plan that we haven't been able to sign up for just yet. In the summer we won't use much at all - only what is required for cooking.
