SUPERMARKET SWEEP!


This was a favorite show at our house...I remember watching with my sister Bronwyn and planning our foolproof winning run around the supermarket. Gotta go for the big bonus and the meat! Ha!
Well, anyway last week I came across a real live supermarket sweep of my own. A local Food Lion was going out of business and put EVERYTHING in the grocery store 60% OFF!!! What?!?!?
It was dangerous! I am telling you it was like crack to this little miss cheap, ahem, I mean bargain hunter. So I got there around 9ish, it was crazy and I had both kids with me...ok I know, I am the crazy one. So there I was living it up for over 2 hours and finally conceded to leave as Finley was starting to melt down. Ok, but here is where it gets really crazy. I took the kids across the street to Sonic, raised Finley's blood sugar, nursed Cason AND WENT BACK!!!!!!! I couldn't help it all I could think as I left was all the things I should have gotten. SO, after another 2 hours there I again decided to leave when I knew Fin had had it. How did I know you ask? Well, I turned around to find her with a package of marshmallows hanging from her mouth, hands out to the side and spinning in circles! Yea, time to go!
I did some serious carnage that day! My husband was horrified...good thing we have been married so long! Took many days to find places for all of it but I am happy to say it is now all away, or at least in a pile out of sight, heehee!!

  1. Hysterical! Great post Brea. And I laughed out loud with the mental image of Finley with the marshmallows.

  2. I can just imagine the look on Chris's face! I have to admit I enlarged the picture to see it all. Now the real question....what did it cost????
