I have been diligently listening to Kevin’s “Your Wish Is Your Command” disk set. I’m still in the learning curve but, trying to test the waters. So, here goes. My family loves penne with sausage and broccoli rabe. I was all set to put the sausage in the oven to bake (less mess than on the stovetop) and I realize that there’s no italian sausage in the house. Well, I had to run over to Trader Joe’s for something so I figured I’d stop off at a local supermarket in the adjacent shopping center. This is around 6pm at night.
I run into the market and head over to the meat case and start perusing the offerings. I realize there are no organic options but, I am willing to make the sacrifice. Lucky for me italian sausage is on sale. I pick out a big family pack with about 14 links in it for around $5.00…great deal, right. So, as I’m about to walk away, I grabbed another package because it looked bigger and I was thinking about freezing the extras. I take the larger and start walking away, looked down at the price and looked again. It’s priced $0.69! Yep, 69 cents. No, it wasn’t old leftover crap…it was probably mismarked. How it sat in the case all day and no one bought it is beyond me, especially since sale items get picked up more.
I paid and happily walked out of the market with my sausage for 69 cents. I was thinking all day that I wanted to start saving more money and voila…I saved money. Maybe coincidence…kinda funny. I’ll have to tell Kevin the first thing I manifested was a package of sausage…I’m sure no one else has!
