That sentence works well with that song.
Unless you don't know the song, and you just read it as a sentence.
In which case, you probably don't think I'm very clever.
You're all like, "Why doesn't she think up clever titles?"
And I'm like, "I know!"
And then you're like, "What song was that?"
And I'm like, "Billy Joel? New York State Of Mind?"
And you're like, "Huh?"
And I'm like...really annoying?
Honestly, that song combined with that sentence went through my mind as I sat down in a chair to look at the grocery ads.
I keep thinking to myself (yes, I do that a lot, wanna fight?)
I keep thinking to myself, "I need to use coupons more often."
I'm so lazy, most days I think, "Aw heck, I'll just go to the dollar store!"
Because, you know, it's too hard to find scissors to cut those things out.
Or to remember where the sales are.
I don't know how people do it.
My brain is on lock, and lately can't hold anything more than remembering to pay the water before it gets shut off.
Now THAT's important.
Water.
Staff of life.
No wait, that's bread.
Water can't stand up to be a staff.
It just...like...falls.
Bread can get all moldy if you use it as a staff for a while,
but it also hardens which is good for staffs.
Coupons are important, but there's always the dollar store.
My dollar store sells produce too.
Jealous much?
Not that it's a dollar.
No, even produce at the dollar store has gone up.
It's 2 bucks now.
Pfft.
If the dollar store keeps going up, I'll be shopping behind the dollar store.
I can't even imagine what the dollar store throws out.
Judging from what they sell, they're dumpster is pretty empty.
Maybe some crappy toys that someone played with and broke.
Can't eat those.
Well, you could, but it'd probably hurt.
Speaking of dollar store toys,
They have this new circus line there.
From China.
I'm thinking the circus is different there.
They have this "unicycle" guy.
Yeah, he's on a tricycle.
Now, I don't know how to count in chinese, but I'm pretty sure one, means the same thing world wide. Right?
Can you tell I haven't had any adult conversation today?

Really? Produce at the dollar store? What do they sell?
And I totally heard the tune when I read your title. I like that song.
I love Billy Joel. I got it...
I am a coupon user, but not a total coupon junkie. I use them for cereal at Fred Meyer to avoid paying more than $2.00 a box. And I use them to get my Tillamook Ice Cream fix on the rare occasions that they have coupons for Tillamook.
I don't have a dollar store at all, so count yourself lucky.
I got the song too. I think I even have it on my ipod. also...there's probably a dollar store here but there's nothing in it that is really a dollar except maybe the candy.
Where do you live that you have produce at the dollar store?
Mine just has plastic this and plastic that. Its great for kids birthday parties, though. Then you don't feel guilty when they break or kids tear them apart.
Who's Billy Joel?
I didn't know anyone who actually says "pfft". I'm kind of excited to actually know someone now.
and, "And I'm like, "I know!" made me laugh out loud.
Your always a Carrot to me.
Oops. You're.
Honestly - honestly - as I read your post on Reader, I heard Billy Joel singing it! Love his old stuff! Not that you're old, or that you're his. But you know what I mean.
I gave-up on coupons - too much organizing to do. I use the "I'm such a special customer that the store gave me a CARD!" discount. I save a ton.
I have a subscription to the grocery store game so I know what to buy and when to use the coupons. I can't seem to even manage that. :(
I'm a big Billy Joel fan!!!
And I never go to the dollar store, but I always hear about the great deals everyone gets. I really should get myself there.
I am the same about coupon clipping. If I waste all the time doing that, how do I remember all that crap when I actually get IN the store. Too much effort.
I thought coupons were make-believe...and a funny word. You are telling me I have to cut coupons out so I can afford to feed Ted and I? Gah.
I too, am amazed by the dollar store produce.
Do I follow the wise counsel of my RS sistahs and plan out meals with organized little meal calendars? No. We eat what I can scour out of the dried blood puddle in the meat clearance bin. We feast on the crumpled, rejected boxes of cereal and oatmeal discarded on the clearance tables. We rejoice in the bounty of discontinued items because that means that the Infidel family will survive on more than just PB&J this week.
Now if I can only figure out how to get enough money to put gas in my vehicle so that I can actually go to work to make money, that will be the miracle. Oh and I just got the happy news that we have a leak somewhere and our usual 70-80/mth water bill is now 700 dollars. Yes, there's a reason that the suicide hotlines are seeing a dramatic increase in calls. Not that I'm considering suicide, mind you. I'm considering calling the Betty Crocker Hotline. I think someone there would care about my problems and offer some kind of chocolatey cake mix solution to the problem, don't you think?
I know you looked at my cooking blog. Did you enjoy the picture of my very festive and patriotic tablecloth? A dear friend of mine gave that to me. :)
And now you know the wicked truth that I splurged 4 bucks on a container of Tzatziki sauce in a moment of weakness. But hey, I got my pitas for 1.49 a bag and the chicken breasts I used were on clearance.
I don't know the song. I am now, officially, a loser.
I use coupons, which reminds me I need to re-organize them and get rid of the ones that have expired. I hate having expired coupons in my coupon organizer.
Anyway, reading your blog makes me want to give you a hug.
((Carrot))
We are in sync. I was going to blog about coupons!! These past few weeks I've really been not wanting to be an apartment manager and everytime I complain, I remember the money thing and how we need some, and shouldn't spend some. So these past few days I have been thinking: I need to use coupons. So I've learned a bit about them and am getting kind of excited about it. There...I just blogged my thoughts on your blog. Blog stealer.
Please don't shop behind the dollar store. They have ROUS's lurking out there, mimes, and Salvation Army officers, looking for someone to do-good-unto. It's scary out there.
It would be much safer just to go rob a bank.
Or have someone rich die and leave you produce.
We had a fabric store called "Dollar Fabric" in the town I grew up in. Everyone was so excited for it to open... fabric for a dollar a yard? WOHOO! Come to find out that NOTHING was just a dollar... but they sold everything ROUNDED OFF to the dollar amount. No $2.99... just $3.00 So disappointing. I have no idea what that has to do with your post. But I just thought I'd share.
I tried to do coupons once or twice. I needed therapy following those episodes.
I have a friend who has a whole 2" binder full that she keeps everything in. Are you kidding me. I have other things to do. Like blog and read Twilight.
Am I the only one that doesnt know about these coupons? Maybe they dont have them in Africa?
We are too busy trying to escape from lions and such to worry about clipping coupons.
:)
You should buy a coupon organizer. That way it can hold all the out dated coupons you knew you should use but then you didn't, but you keep anyway, because one of these days you know you'll remember to take that dang thing into the store with you.
And then we'll be, like, twinsies.
You keep me lol!!
Thanks after the post I put up today, I need to lol!!
or a stiff drink, oh wait I don't drink!
When dollar stores raise their prices to $2, how can they be called a dollar store anymore? ;)
I try to use coupons, but often I forget about them until after they're expired! Maybe I'll get better eventually! :D
I hate coupons. THey drive me absolutely and utterly insane. Don't ask me why. Also don't ask me why I read all the pennysavers and newspaper ads anyway. SIgh.
I admire people with talents I don't have.
Happy Anniversary today Mr. and Mrs. Carrot!
Ps. I know your anniversary is technically tomorrow like mine is but we're going out tonite so I thought I'd throw that out there since I won't be online tomorrow. Just so you know...
I knew that song THE VERY MOMENT I saw your title. Honest! In fact, I was disappointed that you told everybody it was by Billy Joel, because then I couldn't be all smarty pants and say I knew that song and impress anybody because they would just think I was lying so that I could look all smarty pants and impress people.
I started listening to "Joe Bill" as my hub and I like to call him, way back when I was a teenager. Many, MANY, M-A-N-Y moons ago! :0
