Space for Shade...Uh~Oh!!!

Grocery shopping last Saturday, I planned on using my store coupon which read: 

Buy $50 worth of groceries and get 300 points

Thinking that was a deal, I wandered up and down the isles trying to spend my $50 wisely (especially since I'd JUST gone grocery shopping on Friday!).

I picked up a few packages of Perdue chicken breasts ($14.00), a couple of boxes of Special K crackers (2 for $6.00) and thought about the remaining $30.00.  Then I noticed that the summer stuff was 50% off.  It was all on clearance.  They had resin Adirondack chairs in various colors for $9.99 but I chose a nice tan and hunter green patio umbrella for the table on the deck...on sale for $29.99!

As usual I went through the self~checkout isle, got my coupon for my 300 points (which equates to the .30 cents off each gallon at the pump) and carefully steered the cart with the umbrella protruding behind me out the automatic doors and out to the parking lot smiling.  I love bargains!

Huh?

Did you ever try squeezing a 9 ft umbrella into a Mini Cooper?

Imagine that?

I forgot about all my 6 P's.

(Helpful Hint: Prior proper planning prevents poor performance)

You should have been there!!!....:)  LOL!!!!
