24-AUG-2007

August 24, 2007

Jill went to visit her mother on Friday. She asked me to do the grocery shopping while she was gone. She gave me a detailed list and told me I needed to take $100 out of the grocery fund.

I was precise in following the list. I did not deviate in quanity, size, or brand name of anything on the list.

At the checkout counter I watched in amazement as the cashier rang up the total. Ninety-nine dollars and eighty-four cents! Awesome! Fourteen cents less than Jill figured I would need. How does she do that? She would do great on "The Price is Right" television game show.
Coleen and Dan are right my math is wrong...
...I have sixteen cents in my pocket.

Scary sometimes, Dorothy and I think alike and forget the same items if we don't make a list!

Hmm, low fat diet. :) What did the cashier think when you whipped out your camera? Jill knows her groceries.

Cindi... Well trained is only part of it :^)
Jill knows me so well she even had the impulse items I would have grabbed off the shelves on the list. Imagine that.

I am LOL at Laine also... the older I get the more wisdom I see in those lyrics.
Heck, I even screwed up the addition/subtraction of the change I had coming :^)
Cindi Smith25-Aug-2007 13:00
LOL at Laine! Yes, we all know the exact prices on items. And, you are such a good husband not to deviate from the list! Well trained! Hmmmmm.....no wonder Jill loves you so much!

Time to take that trip to Calif. I'll be watching for her.
Deborah Lewis25-Aug-2007 12:07
WOW - right on Jill - good idea to send her to the Price is Right show!

$100 doesn't buy much nowadays.
LOL @ Laine! :-)

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again

CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

This is the answer as to how Jill does this :>))

...let alone 16¢!
Dan Chusid25-Aug-2007 05:01
Just think what 14¢ would have bought 100 years ago...
Coleen Perilloux Landry25-Aug-2007 04:55
And, neither one of us knows how to add or subtract, because it is 16 cents.
Coleen Perilloux Landry25-Aug-2007 04:54
That's her secret and I'll never tell. Did you put the 14 cents in the gumball machine?
