NHG: Random grocery store giggle

[mrs.jacinthe]

Backstory: My parents have been visiting for 2 weeks. My dad takes his meds every morning with a small glass of prune juice. (Don't hate - he's 73 and he just thinks it tastes good!) Before they got here, we ran out to the store and bought a bottle of prune juice so we'd have some for him. Our grocery store prints out catalinas (the register coupons) based on stalking you via a little key card that you use to give a % of your purchase to your favorite charity.

Scene: Mom and I in the grocery store yesterday, buying bread, milk, granola bars, that sort of thing. Register lady rings everything up, I hand over the card, mom swipes her card (this stuff was all for them on their drive home). Two catalinas print out. Register lady hands them to me. They're usually really generic - $2.00 off any toilet paper purchase or something similar.

I glance down at the coupons because they're like winning the lottery - nearly always useful and a good deal. I received the following coupons: 1. $1.00 off next laundry purchase over $6.00. and 2. $2.00 off Depends. :-|

I was all :-| :-( before I realized that it was probably the prune juice that did it. LOL. My grocery store thinks I'm both constipated and incontinent (apparently).

Just wanted to say that even my husband laughed at this one.... and 90% of the time he doesn't 'get' GBCN humor.

Too funny!

Years ago DH and I were buying condoms and the machine spit out a coupon for pickles. We had a pretty good laugh about it and still talk about it today.
