How I wound up with a free avocado at Key Food

I went to Key Food for pop and provolone. Coke product pop sale was 4/$4 (must buy 4, with $10 purchase) and the 7up products were 4/$5 (must buy 4).

I got provolone ($5/lb) and a half pound of salami ($6/lb) and wound up with a bit over a pound of provolone. I also had an avocado in my basket. I got out my calculator, since math in my head is too hard, and found I had $9.81. So I got an overpriced lime for $0.25, picked my 4 pops, and went to check out.

The pops rang up at $1.89 each, not the sale price. I questioned it, and the cashier told me it was from the bottle deposit and tax. I questioned that, so she asked her manager. The manager added stuff up in her head and said I was short of the $10. I thought I had double checked, but I could be wrong, so I said I'd grab one more thing to put me over. They said I was about an avocado short. I like avocados enough, so I got another one, and the price came down, and I left.

Then I looked at my receipt and saw only 1 avocado on it!

Fifteen Years in My Apartment

Today (the 11th, not now when it is after midnight) was the 15 year anniversary of when I moved in. I invited some friends over and 2 friends came. And 1 roommate was here. I made baked ziti because that is what I would have made 15 years ago and because I completed my Italian course on Duolingo today too.

I went to Western Beef (ricotta, campanelle), Ozzie's (nothing), Key Food (nothing), Green Corner (3 lbs of ground beef), Bravo (nothing), Ozzie's (nothing), Key Food (spinach, genoa salami*), Jesus (nothing). I was outside a lot..

*At Key Food there was a sign saying they had a $5.99/lb sale on Genoa and hard Magnifico (the brand) salami). So I thought I'd have some antipasti and asked for a half pound of both. The guy said he was out of hard, so I said just give me Genoa. Then he did, and it was Boars Head and was $10.99/lb. I had already walked to 40 stores to save $1 on frozen spimach, so I didn't just accept it. I said he gave me the wrong one. He said "oh, I was out of hard salami."  (That isn't what happened!) but he did print out a new sticker to give me the correct price on the salami I did get.

I was going to get a 1/2 pound of Stella provolone ($5.99/lb) too, if he had asked me "anything else?" but he didn't so I saved either $3 or a random amount of money depending on how he cut cheese.

Resealable Bags at C-Town

C-Town puts its lunch meat in resealable bags now!

They were out of muenster, so I got mozzarella instead. I wonder how I'll like that with my turkey breast.
