Ouchy ankle. Much ^^%#%@%$ sitting today.
Standing in the kitchen on one leg like a ^$$@&% stork, but I can't help myself. Breakfast done for them that's up. Chicken soup on for her lunch. Radishes pickled and cooling.
We generally grocery shop at Giant Foods, mostly because they bought out almost every grocery store in the area. On the whole, they've been okay. Decent pricing, fair specials, and they offer pickup which is kind of cool. They usually don't mess up, but I have to check every order for missing items. Always a fast refund though.
As part of that, they E-mail offers. Today's was 10% off on a pickup order of $100 or more, IF completed this week by Friday. Click Here!! Well, click here delivers this message:
Notice anything? Maybe... something missing? Yup... you need a promo code and they ain't giving that up. No code, no discount.
It seems once again Giant has fallen prey to Billy Bob's Bait, Tackle, & Discount IT Emporium. Nyuck..Nyuck.
Frankly, things like this are are frequent and probably the biggest aggravation we face shopping at Giant. Coupon prices not applied. Advertising items on the sales flier not in stock. Faulty sales gimmicks like this one. Most of the rest of the experience is pretty smooth. I've tried to point these out to Giant, but there is no getting past that BBBT&DITE wall they have put in place. They simply don't want to hear from customers.
Meh, at least it's entertaining aggravation.
Tea... it's what's for tea.
Yesterday I took roses, basil flowers, and fresh cut mint. Dehydrated it all well, and then crumbled it before a spin in the chopper-upper. Today I mixed that with black tea, about 40/60, and had a brew up with the Missus.
Not Bad I say, Not Bad at all. Crackin good tea, that is.
Yes, now that Great Britain is on it's death bed, I am trying to honor my blood connection to the isles.
