Coupon dilemmas, cops, and more

Okay okay I know most of you would think my life is nothing but a boring mess..but here are some highlights of my heart pounding day..

On Sunday I purchased a newspaper. I really don't do this anymore, but the highlight of sunday's paper has always been the coupons. This Sunday I found a coupon for $2.00 off a pack of razors. Now I know I could buy the cheap kind for less than two bucks. However, I like the nice ones it's one of the last few luxuries I have since moving out on my own and never having ANY money. (Although I am aware that according to some countries I am rich.) ANYWAY so in this sunday's paper there was a coupon for the fancy razors. I decided I would purchase the razors on my way home from the gym to save myself a trip. When I was about to leave the gym I decided to purchase the razors at the grocery store instead. That's when this story gets interesting. I found the razors on sale for 4.29. Plus I had my two dollar coupon so that would make my purchase less than 2.50. I was stoked. I probably wouldn't even beat that price at Wal-mart which was my original vendor until I realized they would be cheaper at the location I was presently at rather than driving to another location. As I approached the register there was a lady waiting on someone else so she let me go ahead. The customer before me was loading up on non necessities. It always bothers me to see other people purchasing cigarettes and booze. You don't really need those things and there is probably an unpaid bill somewhere else that you could use the money towards. If you owe money on a mortage than you shouldn't be buying anything you don't need. But hey that's just my opinion. For some reason while thinking about the wasteful purchases the lady in front of me was making I decided to grab my razors off the belt. To my dismay the coupon began to roll in the belt. The lady behind me was trying to explain that every time I picked up my razors the entire belt moved forward. I felt pretty dumb that this lady knew more about grocery store belts than I. I immediately became completely defeated. First I lost my discount after all of that planning and hard work. Second of all if I was going to pay full price for the razors I would rather not be in a location as disguisting and depressing as this particular Food Lion. Fortunately, the cashier was able to give me the two dollar discount. I became quite relieved and pleased at this outcome. However, when she rung the razors up they were only showing the two dollar discount. The additional VIP savings was only showing for the customers who had the card. A double bonus day--the lady behind me allowed me to use her card. So finally, I left the store with my razors saving about four dollars. One dollar per razor.

I didn't realize the story was going to take so much time to write. I will keep the second story short.

I was in front of a cop. I wasn't speeding or anything but I have this fear of riding behind cops. I pulled over into a nearby neighborhood. When I was driving back down the original road I noticed an ambluance two cars behind me. As I pulled over on a sidestreet to the let the ambluance pass I turned right into the place the ambluance was headed and the cop that was behind me was there too. I think he was inside I don't think he made the connection. Oh well kind of ironic.

Lastly, I have a cheers and jeers for the day. Cheers to Sonic's Caramel Milkshake--very good.

Jeers to the movie Grace is Gone I should have known better but it really wasn't very good. I can't wait until Definitely Maybe comes out later this month.

Please ignore my spelling mistakes I am typing without glasses. I hope you enjoy getting a little glimpse of my life.

Enjoy tomorrow!
