i just saved 50%* on my groceries!
wow! according to this reciept, i just saved 50% on my groceries by shopping at albertsons!
that's incredible. i'm glad i didn't go somewhere else. and i'm glad they have little flags on everything, telling me how much stuff 'really' costs. in some fairy tale land where people pay way too much for groceries.
like the soda near the cash register. this little tag says i'm getting an amazing deal. i can get a 20 oz. mountain dew for only $1.29. that's 30 cents in savings off the "full price"
it's a good thing i bought a two liter bottle. that's something like a $3.90 discount off fairy-tale prices! i'm such a bargain shopper!
who the eff pays $1.59 for a twenty oz. soda? i want to meet this dumbass.
hey, buddy. let me tell you about maceys. you can get TWO two liter bottles of soda there for the price of that one 20 oz bottle. and you don't even have to tell them your phone number to get the bro-deal.
look at this:
- subtotal - 9.29
- tax - .58
- total - 9.87
- preferred savings - 9.59
and i'm even racking up points toward a free dvd. ooh. i'll just go out and buy more groceries. gimme that free dvd.
they tell me how much they've saved me as if they've done me some sort of favor... yeah. thanks for the hookup, guys.
it's not like i would have paid $20 for that stuff... if you were really charging that, i would have found somewhere else to shop. as it is, i paid a little more than i would have at maceys or smiths.
and you act like you're helping me out.
i know how it really is. but i actually buy into it. i let you track my grocery purchases. i give you my contact information... and in return i get "hooked up" with almost normal prices on crap.
thanks.

I remember once when Safeway was having a 10 for $10 deal on certain products, including liquid soap. They also had an instant rebate of $5 off if you buy 5 Colgate products, including the liquid soap. So Kiley and I bought 25 bottles of soap and only spent ~$2.50 on tax. The receipt said I saved 100% :)
Thank you http://www.slickdeals.net You not only show me the greatest deals, but how to fuck with the grocery tracking program!
When my mom shops at a store that is not costco it's usually either ralph's or albertson's...... and she has her own little system for screwing things up. She doesn't buy anything unless she can buy it on sale and then use a double-coupon. If it's only on sale or she can only use a coupon, she doesn't get it. She has a little filing system for all the coupons that she takes shopping with her (it's about the size of a large tupperware) and when she does buy stuff she frequently pays just the tax. Sometimes her "savings" will actually exceed the total cost of the purchases and the checker will try to give her "change" back. :D Literally, on a bad day she only gets about 80% or so in savings. Usually it's 90-100%...
She's actually given a few informal classes to ladies on how to do it.
haha- guess you should have switched to geico....
and that dvd? better not be some cheesy Disney rip off cartoon, or i'm gonna be angry.... and you don't want to see me when i'm angry
