sold out?

So I wrote up my grocery list with the help of the store’s online catalog, head out there and most of the promo items on my list are sold out! How maddening is that! And it’s not the first time either.

Not that I like to use the word ‘false advertising’ but that’s close enough for me. I’m thinking if they don’t have sufficient stock to do a promo, then they shouldn’t do it. It is inconceivable that the promo has been on for only one day and everything’s been sold out. Grr!

Need to get out of the house

We’ve been cooped up around the house almost the entire weekend now. I desperately need to get out of the house even if it’s just for a while. Me and the kids are going to head out and find ourselves a good Chinese restaurant, feast on dimsum (dumplings) over pots of hot Chinese tea and then worry about how to reduce stomach fat later. Ya, we definitely need that !

Yay for pizza delivery!

It really helps to have a pizza order professional in the family. Yes, that would be my youngest daughter who is now a pro at calling the pizza delivery man. And of course, what’s not to love about Mr Pizza Delivery when he’s saved me so many trips to the pizza joint?

We’re staying in today. I reckon the malls will be jam-packed so best to avoid them altogether. Pizza will keep my brood happy for the day. I just hope we won’t be calling for the best diet pills delivery any time soon !

eat first, worry later

Okay, I’ve just received a gift redemption brochure from my favorite credit card center showing me all the gifts I can redeem for the bonus points I’ve collected each time I swipe my credit card and part with my hard-earned money.

This means I get to shop for free as I get to pay with my points, not real money. Nice . I’ve got a few items picked out already. And I’m also going to redeem some food vouchers. Yay, I get to eat for free too. Loving the sound of it already… but that means I may have to go noxycut to lose weight afterwards.

leisurely Mother’s Day lunch

Just got back from the mall. It was crowded, the restaurants are packed with the Mother’s Day crowd. Yes, at the rate people are eating, they’re going to need weight loss supplements soon, I tell ya.

We already had our early Mother’s Day dinner last night for this exact reason – so we don’t have to jostle with the crowd. Instead we had a leisurely and healthy lunch of Subway sandwiches today and then walked around the indoor Sunday flea market.

more peanut butter

Would you believe I missed buying more peanut butter because the shelf label showed a higher price than the cash register price? So I only realized the peanut butter was selling at such a steal when I noticed the price at checkout. Dang, I should’ve bought more bottles seeing as how we seem to be gobbling them at the speed of light.
