I drove to the health market down the road which was closed – maybe for the holiday – maybe always on Monday too

So I looked up another location and called and decided to drive to Port Orange

The sign read on the door huge sale!

Mega bullshite in fact…

But I was positive and hopeful to find some nuts as my stash is depleting and I was avoiding online shopping for them

This store does not have a cafe or outdoor seating and is a 20 minute drive away – one way

BUT THEY WERE OPEN FOR THE HOLIDAY AND THERE THE SIGN READ MEGA SALE

So I entered

And I begin putting things in a basket (which they do provide an actual basket that I overlooked and asked, “do you have a buggy or basket?”. Welp. Starring right at me. The real kind. Not plastic. Duh)

I asked about pricing as some things weren’t listed or were incorrectly placed

Now I’m on a budget but was a tiny bit flexible

I knew I needed to get produce and thangs they did not have

But, I opted to get the “raw milk” and farm eggs despite the pricing

Understanding that I’d get some sort of discount the Gen Z employee assured me…

The eggs weren’t much more than store

They were out of most nuts and seeds

But I’m trying thangs I never have before like these wheat berries (ancient grains I hope)

You just boil them and put them in a bowl

Maybe might make a good protein treat

Ginger is supposed to be ridiculously healthy and the bag was not expensive

I thought for the most part, aside from the big ticket items like the eggs and milk, that I was doing alright “mega sale” and all 🙄

Got one bottle of this, I mostly drink water, milk, coffee, (hopefully tea again)

I gave up juice and soda detoxing

This has elderflower –

Anyhoo time came to check out

And I was confused by the total, maybe even shell shocked and asked, “you applied the discount”

But I didn’t think to check the receipt in the car, and waited until I got home to “inspect” the prices like I normally do (to see if I got the discount prices or whatever)

My stupid ass should have checked before I left town – as it was 3 bags only

Sometimes having a brain injury ptsd get home don’t die routine is costly BECAUSE

The nuts turned out to be nearly $18 for a few ounces

I nearly cried. Welp.

Apparently I fucked the nuts and the one can of dog food – which is cat

Him: you spent how much on the nuts 👀

Seriously tho, don’t ever threaten divorce because I was gaslit

Anyhoo

I called the store and she said I could return the nuts tomorrow for a refund which means I’m gonna be driving a 40 mile round-trip which would likely use up all my gas money and gas tank

She stated the prices went up and they didn’t have them listed

Anyhoo. By very principle I cannot eat the nuts. I can buy 1.5 pounds of Pistachios for less than that and I can buy a pound of raw cashew nuts for less than that

So I’m going for a drive – tomorrow – humiliation factor and all

To return 9 ounces of dark chocolate almonds that I very badly want to consume – but not at that price 👀

And I have no idea if I’m supposed to put the wear and tear on my precious vehicle to get my $18 back but whatever

I don’t want my husband yelling at me for spending too much at the grocery store because they lied

Thank fuck I can get a refund but…

I’m gonna stick to local shopping only (and online until I can fully cut the cord)

Sex toys are meant to be sold at the adult stores, not at the fucking mall, and not at Walmart

Now I gotta waste my precious time and energy returning a tiny tub of nuts because the SIGN ON THE DOOR LIED

A second trip

I feel uneasy 😫

It’s a hard lesson to learn

I tried to do so good and within my budget

I still gotta buy produce to get me through the month

More soup is planned

I just thought I could buy my nuts and seeds at a health food store this time instead of off of Amazon and Walmart

I went back for that second Moderna vaccine which nearly fucking killed me

That kid went back “one more time” and the riptide took him

2 recent cave divers nearby drowned when they went back a second time (came up, went back down)

I wish someone would have stopped me from going back for that second vaccine even though the first one injured me

“It’s safe”

“The CDC”

The numbers 777 appeared before me today

I have information channeling to me but I don’t know what to do with it

I’m trying to eat healthy and within budget

I’m tired of having to chase my tail because of the narcissism and gaslighting

Go get the refund? Don’t get the refund?

Go back a second time when I don’t wanna…

I knew that would be the last shopping trip at Peggy’s for me

Asking for a refund is humiliating 😑

Running around chasing my tail

I WANT MY OWN PLOT OF LAND WITH A CHICKEN OR TWO FOR EGGS

I want my neighbors to be the roosters and the croaking toads

Apparently spiders will take water from you

The animals need our help

WE ARE ANIMALS TOO

STOP GASLIGHTING

What was mega about that sale??????????

I NEED TO KNOW

Angelic numbers keep following me. I don’t know what to do about the nuts. I’m returning the nuts.

MAYBE RIGHT NOW
