I ordered and picked up groceries on Sunday, February 15.
I didn't realize when I submitted the order that I had, accidentally, selected a different store than the one I usuallly go to when I pick up groceries! Even though the store address showed up on the notification that the order was ready for pick up, I didn't even notice it! As for as I was concerned, I had not checked a different store! I happily drove to my regular store and sent the text with my pick up parking spot number and waited.
After a few minutes, my phone rang and it was a store clerk saying he couldn't see me at the parking spot I had stated I was parked in and at which store was I waiting? It was only then that I realized that I was at my neighborhood store and my groceries were waiting for me at a different store a few miles away! That's the first time that has happened! The store clerk asked if I wanted the order cancelled, but, I said no, I will drive over if he could hold the items for me; it would take me about 20 minutes to get there. He said he will hold the order for me. I was able to get to the other store in just about 20 minutes and I called the store to let the person who called me know that I was at the store. A very pleasant store clerk brought my order to the car and loaded the bags.
I bought chicken, fruit, potatoes, frozen pot pies, peanut butter, and hot Cheetos. The potatoes, bananas, and mandarin oranges were not on sale and the chicken drumsticks were the store's $5 value pack (but, a good deal at 4.5lbs. for $5; they don't have chicken thighs for that same price, though). But, everything else was on sale.
Here's the receipt:
Order Summary
Item Details
16 Items
Other Fees
$0.20
Total spent = $49.99
My February grocery budget is $250 plus $57.42 carried over from January = $307.42
Total spent to date = $99.37 + $0.49 + $42.29 + $49.99 = $192.14
Balance left in the budget = $307.42 - $192.14 = $115.28
I am grateful for:
- Being able to order groceries online, even if I select the wrong store for pick up!
- The availability of groceries and sales
- Helpful store clerks who contacted me and held my grocery order until I got myself to the correct store!
- A safe drive to the stores and back
- Greens from the garden

| Kale, Mizuna, Arugula and Radish |
Daughter picked a bunch of greens and the last of the radishes from her raised beds and washed and processed everything. She used some of the kale leaves for a soup she made. The rest will be made into salads.
