Oh Kettle Cooked potato chips! There was a coupon last week 2/$4 limit 4. Since I needed to bring chips to a BBQ, I bought some. Two to bring and two for home--the limit was 4 after all! I don't keep chips in the house; I generally don't buy chips. They are expensive and not good for you. So, why, WHY?!?, why did I buy not just the ones I needed to bring to the BBQ, but two extra for home consumption??? That was $8 that could have been used on other items, like fruit, or five and one-third hot dogs with drinks at CostCo. As it turns out, we didn't need the chips for the BBQ and they are staring at me from across the room. Sharp Cheddar Kettle Cooked potato chips. I really don't want them. Why did I buy them? They were a good deal. I don't know what the policy is for returning potato chips. I don't really want to find out and I don't really want to eat them.
I should admit that I have a problem with good deals. I have mostly confined it to the grocery store. I love a good deal, but am usually regretful later. I currently have 17 boxes of cake mix and 9 boxes of Hamburger Helper. I recently decided that I want to make cakes from scratch--they taste better and they are easier to work with. I don't like Hamburger Helper or Chicken Helper or Tuna Helper, yet there are nine boxes in the garage and I forgot about the three in the cabinet. That's a lot of money that could have gone to other things. Like meat, fresh veggies, the savings account.... *sigh* I haven't even mentioned how many boxes of cereal I have in the garage!
