Ladies Luck.

This is blog worthy:
Last night, Ainslie and I had no plans and nothing to do, so... this being Truro, we decided to sit around, watch a movie and eat. But first, in order to do that we had to get the food first. Ainslie had received word that Sobey's was having a sale on Crispy Mini's. Since we both adore Crispy Mini's, we decided we had to take advantage of such a steal ($.97 each!). But, alas, when we got to the grocer's and found the spot in which they store the Crispy Mini's, they were gone. Apparently we are not the only ones who are cheap and enjoy a healthy alternative to chips. So, rejected, we took a stroll through the frozen foods section. Suddenly, Ainslie stopped and proclaimed that she had a craving for fat free, flavourless ice cream. After I quizzed her on whether she was pregnant or just insane, we looked for the object of her desire. As our eyes scanned the shelf, a small sign caught our attention. I can't recall exactly what it said, but the jist of it was that Ben and Jerry's (regular $5.99) Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Cherry Garcia were on sale for $.99! You can imagine our surprise! So, our enthousiasm restored, we desperately searched the shelf for the ice cream. It appeared that there was no Chocolate Fudge Brownie left. Until, I spotted a lone container of the delicious stuff tucked in the back. So we grabbed it, and a Cherry Garcia, and headed to the check out, not believing our good fortune. When we got to the checkout, the cashier rang our order in and we saw that it came up on the screen as $5.99. We told her that we had reason to believe it was on sale for five dollars less than that horrific price. She was not certain, so she called her supervisor, who checked the sign and realized that our ice cream was indeed on sale, and that because they had caused us much grief, they would give us one of the containers for free because we had been "overcharged". Which means, we left the store with two containers of Ben and Jerry's wonderfulness for a mere dollar.
'Twas a good night.
