We were on our way to Wal-Mart tonight for our semi-monthly run for necessities. Yes, we are part of the group of sheep that have been sucked into Wal-Mart’s cheap prices. We happen to really enjoy the Eight O’Clock coffee brand of coffee. We drink the regular whole bean in the morning mixed with a pre-ground Brazilian Arabica coffee from Wal-Mart. During the evening we drink the whole bean decaf. Wal-Mart sells 5 pound bags of the regular for a ridiculously low price of $6.37 per bag. We usually go through 4 bags a month. So we were off to Wal-Mart to re-stock on coffee and some other essentials.
On the way, Marlene spotted a sign for a “Senior Stamp Show.” My first thought was, “Are these Senior Citizens or Senior Stamps.” That turned the conversation downhill. Wonderful remarks from me such as, “How old does a stamp have to be to qualify as a senior stamp?” I mean they have to be members of AARS? I’m sure you have heard of it – American Association of Retired Stamps (AARS). I mean how else is a retired stamp going to get a discount on a nice post office box in Florida for vacation. You do know how stamps go on vacation- AIR MAIL.. Ba da bump.
To finish off the night I had the great comment about a LARGE can of baked beans we had acquired. “I wonder if they should have a BTU rating on Baked Beans” I will let you guys figure out what to turn BTU into.
