Case Lots
















We were at the adult session of Stake Conference tonight and Duff's cell phone vibrated with a text.  It was from Shaun.  He was in Smith's grocery store doing some shopping for the weekend and noticed they were having a case lot sale.  Yahoo and yippee!  I like to stock up on pantry items like this and here in socal, they don't do case lot sales.  I asked my Albertsons manager about 2 years ago if he would consider having one, and he looked at me like I had rocks in my head.  One of our tradeoffs for where we live, I guess.  So I stepped out and secluded myself in the RS room as he walked the aisles with me and I would tell him yay or nay.  Between the two of us I think we made some good choices and we got $500 worth of food for $240.  Nice savings, huh?  When I went back into the meeting, the speaker was talking on preparedness.  Nice timing!

Thanks Shaun!  After the meeting I had a few people come up to me and ask if everything was okay because they saw me slip out and not come right back in.  When I told them what he and I were doing, they were pretty impressed that he would notice something like that and think to call me.  Way to go!

Now let's see what Macey's has going on...
