why i pick up stray cats

Yesterday was Tuesday also known as the last day of the grocery store sales ad. That means any $10 off $50 or $10 off $75 coupons that printed out at the Winn Dixie catalina machines yesterday will be good starting today. Every Winn Dixie loyalty card holder gets ONE $X off $XX per week, regardless of how many times you shop there during the Wednesday to Tuesday sale week.

People get these little gems and then litter them all over the parking lot. There is an apartment complex adjacent to my neighborhood Winn Dixie. The residents of this complex walk over to the WD for a gallon of milk or pack of smokes and promptly drop their "cats" on the ground.

Last night we went to the All-You-Can-Eat pizza buffet in the WD strip mall. After eating my fill of mediocre pizza, I left the family to walk around the parking lot. I scooped up a string of cats that included the coveted $10 off $50. This will go nicely with the $10 off $75 I received during my shopping trip earlier in the week.

I ventured over to the field between the parking lot and the apartment complex thinking I'd surely strike it rich. A fire ant hill is all I found. Ouch.

UPDATE:

I went today and worked my pathetic magic. The cashier (my new best friend, of course!) was impressed. She was sure I was, "one of those ladies who is going to only pay $1.00." I had to disappoint her.
