Lookit that ugly thing. With just a few tweaks it could be the evil creature in the next James Cameron movie.

I have a lot of chocolate here at the moment

The thing is, those 8-packs of the little York Peppermint Patties, Reese's, Butterfingers and Nestles Crunch were on sale for $1.08 each. Excellent value.



Like the 8-pack of mini York Peppermint Patties are the equivalent of 3.487 regular patties - for a buck!!!!

Are you going to tell me that's not great value? A pack of Fun Size Butterfingers have the equivalent of almost 2.5 regular Butterfingers bars. You can't get 2.5 regular Butterfingers bars for a buck - forget about it. And these little sizes are so fun.

So I figured fuck it, I'll grab a cupboard full. It's not like they're going to go bad real fast in their little wrappers. What a deal!



It's counter-intuitive: you expect value to increase as you buy things in larger quantities - in bulk, if you will. This is just the opposite. I was pretty sharp to notice what was going on.

I'm an excellent shopper.
 
Crunch is my least favorite of the selection there. But they're okay - and the value is undeniable.

Actually the best thing there is the Nanaimo Bars. I'm not sure if people are noticing the little lineup of individually wrapped Nanaimo Bars there in the middle.

They weren't on sale but sometimes I have to have Nanaimo bars.

Some good.
 
I couldn't agree more. I go to my grocery store pretty much every day and there are always hands out.

Do you want to give money for lost children? It's usually some mopey old woman sitting there with a pic of some tragically missing child and a collection bucket.

:fok:

Then there are young kids selling chocolates for something or other. Some of them seem much to young to be doing that and I wonder if I am going to see their pics at the old lady's collection area sometime soon. The Provincial Police and local Fire Departments both have semi regular charity things they set up at the front entrance/exit. Sometimes the cashiers are asking for a buck or two for cancer or a hospital or I-don't even-know-what.

That's not counting people offering me free newspapers or trying to flag me down inside the store to try free samples. I know that's a different category of thing but it really does get crazy with the constant solicitations.

Just leave me the fuck alone.
