After her Dad in N. Mississippi told my wife that at 26 cents/can, she had better make room for all she could get, she dragged me back to Kroger last night. The Store Mgr., who was restocking the end cap display, said that it was a regional promotion and since the sale ended today (2-8-11) for us to take all we wanted and to nevermind the limit of 20. He has plenty in backstock thinking that people would buy more than they did.
For less than $95.00, we rolled out of there with 360 cans of a variety of vegetables. Everything from spinach to seasoned green beans, carrots to diced potatoes. All of them dated well into 2013. We also took advantage of the 45 cent/can Hunts tomato products. For a little over $100.00 we brought home 240 cans of everything from diced tomatoes to sauce, whole tomatoes to paste and stewed. We were turning some heads when we were loading the back of my truck.
The young man helping us load the back of my truck just kept smiling and shaking his head. I tipped him $5.00 and told him that when they ask you what we're doing with all this, "Just tell them that we're making hay while the sun shines!"
My Dad use to say that "The Big Guy upstairs smiles on idiots and children!" Guess that includes me!
