Trip to the store

This evening Neil and I decided to head out to the store to pick up a few items.  The justification for the trip was to buy a frozen turkey, as they are on sale this week.  As we needed to buy $25 worth of goods to get the Tuesday 10% discount we also ended up buying a stick of butter and a green pepper.

As we were checking out the cashier asked us if we wanted our turkey in a bag.  This question shocked Neil and I as we weren't quite sure how else we would have carried it home, particularly as neither of us relished the idea of carrying a frozen turkey in our hands on the walk home.  Fortunately we were eventually given a bag (Neil eventually double bagged it) so we weren't forced to deal with this problem.

After finishing up at the grocery store we moved on to the convenience store to buy a few lighters.  I thought that these would be appropriate given the degree to which our lights have been flickering tonight (and how are we to light all of our recently purchased candles if we don't have lighters and only 20 matches).  The only hitch with the purchase was that the only lighters available had all kinds of fancy designs, making the lighter the fanciest looking thing in my pocket (my keys will surely be jealous).
