Pickles Won Over Kathy Griffin’s Book

First, let me tell you I love Kathy Griffin. Her Life on the D-list is awesome.

I think she’s hilarious, hard working woman with bigger balls then most men I know. She might be on the D-list, but I prefer her to most of the A and B -list celebrities.

Lately everywhere I look she’s promoting her new book Official Book Club Selection. Everytime I see it I think to myself that I should go and buy it, but I don’t have the extra money right now (check out my blog and see why I am strapped for cash).

Oh, yeah, if there is some well-to-do person that wants to help me out just because – I ‘m not proud (I was a week ago). Just kidding, no I’m not…really I am, but maybe not.

Anyway, this is a true story how I almost bought Kathy Griffin’s book Official Book Club Selection, but I bought Bick’s pickles instead.

My husband and I took our son for his regular check up at the diabetes clinic this morning.

I decided to do some grocery shopping and since we are on a very limited budget right now (I don’t like it a bit) I made a list of sales in 4 different stores.

First store – grocery store. I stuck to my list (very painful, in my prime I used to be an impulse buyer).

Second store was a liquidation store with great deals and I haven’t shopped for sooooo long. My husband and my son almost had to drag me out of there, but not before I got some wicked deals.

Third store was Safeway (I love Safeway). All I had to get were some Bick’s pickles on sale. Everytime I go to Safeway I come out with bags full of stuff “we needed”. I told my husband that I can go in by myself and I’ll be back in under 5 minutes and under $20. My son laughed and they dared me that I can’t do it.

I ran in , grabbed the pickles and on the way out I noticed the BLOWOUT table with books at 40%off regular price. Right on top I saw a pile of Kathy Griffin’s book Official Book Club Selection. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
BLOWOUT sale at Safeway? In Canada? Really?

I stopped, I grabbed it and wanted to purchase it for the BLOWOUT price ( I was willing to put some of the pickles back and they were the hard-to-find European style), but I couldn’t find the regular price sticker anywhere. Of course, no sales people. I was running out of time and I couldn’t risk not having enough money. The clock was ticking and I can hear my son’s laugh and my husband’s “I Told You So”.

Sorry, Kathy I was not about to lose a dare. I grabbed my pickles and left.

By the way, I made it under 5 minutes and under $20. I am a supewoman.
