Oh Dear just not thinking

January 4th, 2011 at 06:52 am

I broke two of my own strategies in the past two days. My mind was thinking a long the lines of this

Strategy - If you will use it and cheap enough then have a treat now and then!

When I got home I found that I was charged one at the special markdown price and same second item at full price. It may have been two packets of pikelets but to pay full price no way.

As I didn’t use my other Strategy - Check your dockets and ask for a refund so I went back this morning for a refund of $3.00 and bought another treat for myself of some Christmas candy. Now I have 24 pikelets and 1 kilo (2.2lb) candy for less than price that I was charged.

While I was shopping I remember that I was out of paper towels in the kitchen but forget to check my stockpile area for them. So bought a pack of three on special it wont hurt to buy one packet of them WRONG, I already got six rolls in storage. That will teach me not to look next time.

So the Strategy - Do remember what you have stored before you go and buy more of the same.

Now remember not to buy any toothpaste, shampoo & conditioner, toilet paper, soap, liquid soap, makeup or creams, paper towels, detergent, washing powder or pre-soakers for a while.

    Small size sweet pancake, it’s Australian /NZ name or may have been British at some point, it was common to serve for afternoon teas in granny day with Strawberry Jam and some cream if you had some. I will find a recipe and post in few days time.
