Albertsons

Okay, so I didn't do as good today as I wanted to, but I do have a very very good excuse that I will share with you all in a minute. I do want to share that they have their Gillett Men's Shampoo on clearance, back in their clearance section 10 for $10. They also had a bunch of pads (I think they were Always Pads) and stuff. I cannot remember the price on the pads as I was getting ready to check, but was not able to do that......

Anyway, I should have walked out of there paying nothing, plus a little tax, but I didn't

I got....
(2) Gillette Men's Shampoo for $1 each=$2
(2) Scotch Brite pads $1.59 each=$3.18

I used
(2) $1/1 Gillette Shampoo from recent P&G insert
(2) $1/1 Scotch Brite coupons from here.

I saved $13.98 and spent $1.63.

Now, what I should have done was doubled my Scotch Brite coupons to get my sponges for free, but I didn't. I still had a savings of 92%! :)

Well, onto my adventure...... As I was getting ready to go back and check out the clearance pads at Albertsons. I was getting my cart adjusted to sit off to the side with my assistant (Blakey) inside of it. I always try to push it off to the side when I am back there because it is such a confined area and I always feel like I am in the way. Anyway, as we are getting ready, a man dressed in nicer clothes comes running past me and runs into the back, and a worker that is normally there when I shop there comes out with this strange look on his face. Well, as I see this man run past the doors, I notice that he has a gun and is reaching for it. Yep, you read me right! A GUN!!! I stood there is disbelief and said to the worker, as I hear shouting from behind the door, "What is going on?" He says, "I don't know." I say, "yeah you do, what is going on?" He says again, "really I don't know, but maybe we should leave this area?" Yeah, that is a GREAT idea. As I am walking up to the front, about ready to cry, as I have never been close to any kind of situation like this. I go up and put my stuff on the counter, just shaking a mile a minute, and I see them walk her out the front doors and she is in handcuffs. I didn't even bother doubling! Anyway one of the girls says that she was with a man that they were pulling over and when they pulled him over she took off into the store, I guess trying to get away or something. I kid you not, when I walked out of the store there were like 8 or 9 cop cars there! So, then the other crazy thing, as I start thinking about it, is that when she came in the store, SHE WALKED RIGHT PAST ME!! She caught my eye because she was walking rather quickly. I just thank God that nothing bad happened, at least for the other shoppers and us. I just keep thinking about all the "what ifs." Yes, I tend to over analyze, but I never experienced something like that before and to actually see a police officer reach for his gun. Okay, THAT WAS PRETTY CRAZY!!

Anyway, that is my story....

Thanks!
