I'm feeling pretty nast right now. NAST. Yep. What is nast you ask? Well, it's a combination of heartburn, gas, and bloatation that renders the sufferer a useless lump. A burpy useless lump, who is suffering extreme regret over the money I saved at Superstore last week.
Back story: I've been a bit under the weather lately, and have been trying to purchase inexpensive and easy to prepare meals. Normally I make most of our food and don't buy pre-packaged, but feeling ill can change a woman's priorities. So I bought fish sticks and french fries (big hit). Perogies and sausage (score). Delissio Pizza on special for $5 (rock on). And then I saw the sale sign in the freezer section:
Regular $9.99, on special $6.99 - Frozen Lasagna.
So I thought to myself - that big lasagna for 7 bucks? This is too good to be true. It's big enough for two meals for three adults - almost a dollar a meal! I am the FRUGAL QUEENNNNNN MUAHHHAHAHAHAHHHH! And I put it on the cart (wince) and paid $7 for it (dismayed sigh).
Now I happen to know from years of stretching bucks that there is a difference between a good deal and a good fleecing. And I should have known that for $7 there is only one kind of lasagna possible. The gross kind. The kind that tastes like ravioli out of a can. The kind you will never, ever taste lasagna again without remembering.
That's not frugal. It's cheap. WHITE TRASH CHEAP! Do you hear that, Superstore?
