Not too shabby for our favorite peanut butter in the world. Need peanut butter? You can come to my house. :) Actually, I am curious as to how long this is going to last us. I'm thinking it will not last as long as I hope.
Oh, if you are getting quite a few, make sure you watch the dates as some are sooner than later.
Okay, so, of course, I wanted to share with you this awesome deal that we got, but I wanted to share something a little different.
You have heard me say that if you want a lot of something to make sure you order it ahead of time so that way we are not clearing the shelves. Some of you have asked how you do this and what do you do it with. My whole motto is if you are buying quite a bit of "something," and you are not sure you can always call them and ask. I often know ahead of time what is going to be on sale or what the good deals are, so I always make an extra special effort to call and tell them about what I am looking to buy and how much. I did that this week with the peanut butter. I ALWAYS make sure and let them know that I CAN wait. I do not mind at all. So, that is what I did this week. I called early in the week BEFORE the sale started and said that I was looking at buying 20. "Do you have enough for my to buy 20 at once or would you like me to wait?" So, he said he would order me some and that it would be ready for me on Saturday morning. So, I sent my dear ol' hubby to go get it. He goes and finds a manager and there you have it, it was waiting in the back room. Easy peasy.
I strongly suggest that if you want to go this route that you go in and fill out the special request form so that you have a paperwork trail.
Anyway, I hope that helps clear up a few things. :)
Thanks!
Cheryl
