A Happening

In most cases, I never get offered a coupon . . . unless I get a sample from a demo table and they give me a coupon so I'll feel obligated to buy it . Now if only I could get a coupon at the gas pump !

@RubyHawk Buy 1 gallon - get 1 FREE ! (I wish !)

@much2say Coupons at the gas pump would be welcome.

I did the repeating on purpose . . . my way of trying to be funny . Strange that he would just pop up like that, right? I don't think he was following me, but still it was a bit creepy how he happened to have a coupon that I could use (normally there are not coupons for produce anywhere). Hmmmm .

@allknowing What a weird memory this will be .

@much2say Whatever be it you created a memory. And yes I knew you used the word happening on purpose.

Wow - getting 5 bucks off at Aldi's is super good . . . that is literally free money!!!

It WAS odd . First of all I've never seen a coupon for produce and somehow he took note that I had celery . But yep - every bit helps!

@much2say I've seen those before, but often ignore them.

@kaylachan I don't use coupons much anymore so I don't really know what's out there these days in the way of coupons.

Isn't shopping such a gamble sometimes? The price difference at stores is incredible sometimes (sometimes worth it, sometimes not). The celery I paid for wasn't the best, but I needed it . . . but for 40 cents off I could live with it .

@LadyDuck Lasting weeks, wow! Any taste difference from the normal size ones? I have seen big ones at the farmers market but have never gotten them.

@much2say Both celery I bought were a beautiful big ones from Spain and it lasted many weeks.

I guess so - I was surprised by it all! I would normally be at the computer, but it's just been a crazy month - less time to myLot. I hope you had a productive day!

@much2say ......But celery is so green and crunchy. Yum!

A weird slice of life - over celery .

I'm just glad he didn't try to attack me . . . we have to watch for violent people here these days . Yes, it was nice of that man to just give me a coupon out of nowhere!

Right ? Now I look at celery in other people's shopping cart differently .

@RebeccasFarm You just made me realize maybe this dude was a celery stalker !

@much2say Do they have little faces on them, the celery stalks?

Yah, I was ready to karate chop this guy if he tried anything . It was such a strange, random slice of life - just had to share the true story! Oh man, a busy day for you two! The driving and waiting and all the procedures can really zap you of your energy . . . how did it all go? I hope you get a nap in or at least get to sleep a bit earlier. Thank you! I've just been very busy lately - kids stuff at school and just have lots to think about with life in general lately. We are good though. What's up with you guys? I hope you have a wonderful week!

@DaddyEvil Haiiiiiiii - YA! Karate Chop Mama! And if we were in the meat section, I would have thrown pork chops . I'm keeping my fingers crossed about all your blood work. Glad to hear Pretty had a good appointment. Please tell her I said hi! So did you get that nap in? I certainly didn't get mine in. How are your eyes doing? Ah, so you officially filed . . . I'ma gonna keep my fingers crossed about that going through too. It would be fantastic if your lawyer is right . . . I'm hoping it all goes your way . Yah. I've been poking my head in here and there, but I couldn't get to much on myLot. You know eventually I'll come crawling back . I'm glad I got to chat with you a bit today .

@much2say I could see the headlines now... Mother of two karate chops nice man shopping! We won't find out about the blood tests for about a week but Pretty said her appointment went very well. You're welcome. Any time I don't see you here, I figure life has caught up with you again. We filed for me to get disability because of my eyes swelling up. The lawyer thinks the judge will grant it. Thanks.

With all that is going on with the world, I was surprised - but it was a good surprise. Right - and I appreciated that there was no ulterior motive for this kind act . . . I think he was actually a decent dude!

@TheHorse I believe it when things like this happen. I think you may be one of those kinda dudes .

@much2say Such people DO exist.

So weird, but true! The stupid thing is I received that very same coupon in the mail in December (it was from Ralphs) . . . but I didn't use it .

@DianneN

@much2say In that case, glad that man “stalked” you

It really was - probably a once in a lifetime thing!

@much2say Probably.

It's funny because I never see "coupons" for produce - twas weird, but I'll take it . Glad you are having lovely days out there - your garden is the perfect place to be .

@much2say I never see those coupons either. Funny how he just sort of appeared.

@CarolDM Just a strange slice of life . . . but it happened. However, I was ready to pop him one if he tried anything .

@much2say I forgot I had read this post already and reread it just now . Our grocery store has the worst condition for produce. The head of lettuces were all brown. Their celery was all floppy. Even the bagged lettuce mixes weren’t in the best of shape but I bought two as that was the best I could get. I really like celery in my salads though so I was frustrated over that.

Yes, funny how that all played out! I haven't thought about coupons in a long time - and certainly I've never seen a coupon for produce . . . so I was stunned!

I'm happy to save any $ . . . but it was strange to get a produce coupon (I never see that) - and from a random stranger!

@much2say I don't think I've ever seen a produce coupon either

Life can be so weird, right?

@much2say the universe is watching you my friend

So weird, right? It wasn't even supposed to be an eventful grocery shopping trip .

@much2say Very very weird but so so cool!

It was a strange happening, but glad not anything more! What is SNAP? I am so glad you are finding things to make life easier!

@much2say SNAP, or Supplemental Nutrition Application Program, new name of food stamps. I have to apply yrly now, for turned 67. Before twice a year... 6 months review then, reapplication.

It was strange slice of life, but it did indeed happen . . . it was nice to happen upon a decent person.

@much2say It's really happening.
