4th of July sales

Grocery stores often will take a loss on one product in order to get you to buy its complement at the full price. Hot dog buns and hot dogs for instance. And I am exploiting the dickens out of that strategy this week.

C-town has hot dogs at 2 for $5. (Associated has them for 2 for $4, but I'm skeptical.) Their sale on buns was 2 for $4 I think. Which was still a sale, of course. But at Key Food, the hot dog buns were $0.99, whereas their hot dog sale wasn't very good. Nathan's hot dogs were buy one get one, but there was a limit of 3. So tomorrow I am going to buy all my buns at Key Food. I will test Associated for the hot dogs, then buy them either there or at C-town. The grill will be from Gem. The iHorn will be from the Apple Store. The canola oil will probably be from wherever because I'm not buying it en masse so it doesn't matter. The eggs will be from Jesus store. The wine will be from Trader Joe's Wine Store.

I am shopping because I am having a hot dog party tomorrow. It is a whole lot like a 4th of July party only smaller and tomorrow. I don't know if I'm having a 4th party, but if I do, the premise will be "I am doing NOTHING except having a roof and a bathroom you can use."
