I used to miss out on the digital coupons for a long time because I didn't have a smart phone! These days, I check and clip the digital coupons, but, only for the items I buy. It would have been nice if they gave me a little something extra for the inconvenience, but, it's OK, at least I received everything I paid for! :DBlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-31534766175501292432022-05-21T15:26:43.677-07:002022-05-21T15:26:43.677-07:00Thank you, Eileen. :)

Hope the new store has all the items you want. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-36776444182354174262022-05-21T13:49:05.959-07:002022-05-21T13:49:05.959-07:00Well, I guess I could have simply said, "I ha...Well, I guess I could have simply said, "I had to go twice to pick up my groceries as they forgot some of it the first time", but, that would have been too easy! LOL. <br />I used to think I didn't like ravioli, but, I had some that my daughter brought home from a friend's birthday party and I really liked it. It might have been a fancier brand, than the store brand that I bought, but, I thought it would be something nice to have on hand and, at that price, I was willing to give them a try. I ate some, yesterday, with canned pasta sauce and they were good, but, I wasn't too impressed with the filling. I want to try the cheese version, next time, to see if that is better. I don't think I've tried tortellini, but, maybe something else to try, one day. :) I just checked and the store brand is $4.29 for 19 oz. and $5.99 for 36 oz.

I'm trying Iceland for some of the frozen stuff this time because they have just announced that over 60s will be entitled to a 10% discount on a discount and any savings help with the way prices are rising.Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-15613938645677707972022-05-21T06:26:53.924-07:002022-05-21T06:26:53.924-07:00Oh my - so much drama with our pickups! lol

That's a big package.<br />I like to keep fresh pasta in the freezer for a treat when I want to make pasta but want something other than the normal types of dry pasta that we mainly eat. <br />I have cheese ravioli and cheese torttelini in the freezer currently that I bought on sale. <br />I like to put a handful of the torttelinis in soup. 56stepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714155300369089630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-87003969031354930252022-05-21T00:09:53.663-07:002022-05-21T00:09:53.663-07:00Yes, they were probably scrambling to get the orde...Yes, they were probably scrambling to get the orders ready. Ha, I've done that, too - left groceries behind, either at the end of the counter or in the cart in the parking lot! Then, I'd call the store and they'd say, yes, we have your groceries or, someone brought in a cart that had a dozen eggs left in it, etc. I was looking for the strawberries and then I noticed I didn't have the lettuce or the eggs or the frozen ravioli! LOL. But, at least I received everything and next time, I might get down from the car and do a quick check to see if everything is there!Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-41948051172439265172022-05-20T17:44:55.960-07:002022-05-20T17:44:55.960-07:00They must have been really busy in the store.

No, I wouldn't yell at them! It was not the store workers' fault that the system was not working properly and they didn't receive their usual notifications that customers were waiting or they had refrigerated items. I'm grateful that they offer this service in the first place! Besides, I've had my share of being ranted at by angry clients when I worked and know how it feels. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-59425625329995490162022-05-20T12:00:40.122-07:002022-05-20T12:00:40.122-07:00Yes; I was a bit annoyed, but, the store is less t...Yes; I was a bit annoyed, but, the store is less than 2 miles from my house and since they had already realized that they had forgotten to give me all of my groceries, I didn't have to try to explain that I received fewer groceries than what I had paid for. I was glad I was able to go and get the rest of the items. In general, I only buy organic items if they are the same price as the inorganic ones (the carrots I bought on my previous shopping trip, for example). I had my daughter look over my order, just to check if there was something I had forgotten, etc., and she didn't catch the organic strawberries, either. Oh, well. As you said, I'll be more careful, next time! :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-22298666348129335392022-05-20T04:36:20.761-07:002022-05-20T04:36:20.761-07:00Thankfully you were able to get all the groceries ...Thankfully you were able to get all the groceries you ordered - especially given the rising costs of food.

Jennifer sounds like a lovely store assistant and I'm sure she'll remember to give you your discount next time. I must admit I don't buy organic produce as it is so much more expensive. I sometimes click on the wrong product as it's such an easy mistake to make but it makes me more careful when doing the next online order.Eileen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755260410513572943noreply@blogger.com
