I went shopping today to fill my cart with the ground beef on sale, plus two giant 25 pound turkeys that were on sale for $.79 a pound, some chicken livers, and two clearance packs of boneless pork chops. While I was there, I picked up some assorted other groceries, and broke down and bought a giant bottle of Tide. My clearance bottle of $1.50 detergent was just NOT getting my clothes clean and I was tired of seeing that ice cream drip still on the t-shirt a week later!
As I was leaving, I stopped to check my receipt like I always do. (Last week I ended up with $10 in free meat because they had not rung up the sale prices properly and they have to give you the item free if it rings up wrong). Well, at the bottom of the receipt it said that I had joined the "IAMS club" and gotten $7 off my grocery bill.
I just kept staring at that, and a nice older man who was collecting the carts starting talking with me about it. He had no idea what it was, so we both went back into the store and he asked one of the cashiers. They all assumed it meant I bought Iams dog food. I assured them that I did not so no one could figure it out.
The older man decide he was on a mission to figure this out by the next time I came back to the store. I was putting my groceries in the car and he came out to the parking lot to find me. He had contacted the manager about it. It actually turns out that you can buy almost any proctor and gamble products between now and january 1st and as soon as you get enough points, they automatically take $7 off your grocery bill. It just rings up as the Iams Club as if you had bought dog food.
So, Iams paid for my ground beef!
