The Grocery Store Post

So much to write...none of it interesting I'm sure!

I'm a student so I'm looking to buy what ever is cheap.  Luckily, that is easily found here in the United States of America.  "What", you ask, "is cheap? And, what kinda 'cheap' are we talking?".

Here we go:
Brown beans: $0.40
Can of  soup: $0.40
Frozen Pizza: $0.87
Frozen burrito, etc: $0.99
Shampoo and Conditioner: $0.75 (each)
a gallon of water for $0.50
BEER!!!!: $19.98 for 30 cans - that's imported beer! (Well, okay, it's 'Blue' - but that's an imported here!)

I'm not saying that quality is good, I'm just saying it's a poor students dream!!

Other things that are cool/lame at the grocery store include being able to return pop cans and water bottles.  They have this self-serve area where you just bring in your empties, put them in a hole, and then you get a print out of how much money you're owed.  You bring the receipt to the cashier and you can put it towards your groceries or get $.

The grocery store is 24 hours (of course!) - imagine if we had this self-serve return center in Canada   The bottle collectors would be in heaven!  No waiting for the beer store to open-anytime they wanted they could just go in and cash in their empties.  I wonder what kind of problems this would create?  I think we should try it!

um...what else...oh, at the grocery store I go to, you have to weigh your own produce.   So, I get bananas, put them on a scale, enter the code, and then a sticker prints out that I put on the bananas.  (a bit of a pain, but whatev)

One final comment on the grocery store:

I'm pleased to see "Jones Soda" representing Canada in the Soda isle!

Happy shopping!
