The Steak or Nail Soup for the Married My wife and I are not rich folks. We struggle like most other people. My wife "Rocks" was out shopping, on Saturday. She is a very frugal shopper, only spending extra money on things like shampoo for her hair (I get whatever is on sale, she gets Paul Mitchell). This day, she found a steak, a New York Strip Loin, $24.65 a kilo, marked improperly. The weight on the package was .035 instead of .35, this made that steak a mere 0.77 cents Canadian, a true steal, as this steak would normally be about $7.00+. She searched in vain for another mismarked steak, but couldn't find one. That is when the motivation of the store became clear, or my wife's motivation became murky, choose either one. To go with the first steak, she bought a second one $7.00+. Safeway 1 Rocks 0 A barbeque would be a nice idea, she decided she would just get some things to go with that steak, baked potatoes need sour cream and bacon bits. Safeway 3 Rocks 0 Maybe a nice dessert, after all, she had saved lots of money on the steak, Strawberries, whipping cream and those little shortcake berry cups. Safeway 6 Rocks 0 Some fresh vegetables would be needed to grace the plate, maybe something colorful like green beans. Safeway 7 Rocks 0 On the way home, a pickup truck, parked by the road, selling fresh corn warranted a stop, after all what is a steak without corn. The other purchases may have occurred with or without the steak, this one, no way, so that is the reason for the -1. Safeway 7 Rocks -1 My wife will never read this, I love her dearly, she was very proud of her find, we had a wonderful dinner and I am still not sure if it wasn't all planned, that steak led to many unplanned purchases and I am sure we didn't save a cent in the long run. I would give you a good reason not to be married, if I could.
