The Stupid Candy Aisle

It was time for dessert. We didn't have any (read: Jenny finished the sherbet without me).

I had $4 in my wallet and a mission. Get the most I could with my money and nothing but junk food.

After careful evaluation of the candy aisle, the cookie aisle, the ice cream aisle, and the little debbie display, I was finally ready.

$1 on sale can of pringles BBQ. $1.39 box of little debbie Zebra Cakes. $1.59 bag of sour patch kids (my favorite candy). I had done it. $3.98 on my $4 budget. It was time for the self check-out aisle.

Total $4.09. What? Ahh, stupid candy aisle comes with a tax. Dangit. "Jenny, get this voided i'll be right back." Another quick run to the candy aisle to pick up a bag of gummy bears to replace the sour patch kids and we re-checked out. $3.98. Yes, victory is mine.

There are no more gummy bears. They didn't make it an hour.
