I gotta laugh!

After work today, I went to Grocery Outlet, to do some grocery shopping.

They sell a wide selection of overstock stuff at a discount.

Anyway, I spent just a hair under $90, but I saved $75.40

I took a look at my receipt, and I saved 5% off of each item that I bought.

I laugh because I'm not a senior!

I'm fourty-freakin-nine! *lol*

But, hey! I'll take the discount! *lol*

@Anonymous032819, did they ask you if you were? Usually if they aren´t sure they will ask. Was the cashier a teenager?

If you only paid $14.60 for $90 worth of groceries, you saved more than 5% per item.

@Anonymous032819    Well the obvious answer is that you must look like a senior. At least you do to whomever was the cashier.

No, the cashier didn't ask for my age, and she was a woman who looked older than me! *LOL*

I spent just a few pennies under $90, but I saved (it says so right on the receipt) $75.40.

Also, right on the receipt it says next to each item, 5% Senior.

My local Tops does a "young at heart " day the first Tues. of every month. They put something on your bonus card so you automatically get the 6% discount on your total order. You have to be 60 to qualify.

That is an ENORMOUS discount!

Something like 75% for just a senior discount.

Order was almost $90 and you spent $15.

If this is the old Amelia's which is now Grocery Outlet, we had one in our

area and then it closed.

It was alot of closeout and expired food. They sold some merchandise too.

I SPENT NINETY ($90) 

$90 came OUT of my bank account to PAY for my groceries.

But on the reciept it says that I SAVED $75.40 by shopping there, plus, I got a 5% discount on each item.

For example, spicy brown mustard - was $0.99, but I saved $0.05 (nickle) with my senior discount. It was FIVE PERCENT off of EACH item.

But $90 came OUT of my bank to PAY for the groceries.
