Grocery Shopping Insanity

Grocery Shopping was not a pleasant experience for a 1,2,3!
1. Ollie didn't want to be in the store, let alone for 1hr+
2. Hy-vee, I am so angry with Hy-Vee. I know at one point they advertised Ad-Matching. I would have gone to Walmart and Trader Joes. They have better customer service and better prices. And they would never make me feel like such an awkward idiot holding my ads, overwhelmed with an angry baby. I should know better, except for 3 A+ employees who work overnights, my local Hyvee is filled with borderline rude "Unhelpful Smiles". It ended up costing me $65+ more than I planned on spending.
3. There was a snow storm that coated everything while I was in the very oddly organized Hyvee. I wasn't offered drive up service (with a 18month baby and a huge cart full of groceries)...so I had to push through all the snow to the car I parked way too far away for the extra bit of exercise.

A bright spot, Walgreens. I had purchased a probiotic supplement and a bottle of wine there yesterday. When I got home I opened the probiotic bottle and the seal was broken. They replaced it, no questions asked. the manager offered to get the replacement for me so i wouldn't have to go to the back of the store for it. Great customer service!

Oh, and the bottle of Red Velvet from Cupcake vineyards? Not bad, just not for me. Next on the list, Pinot Noir from Cupcake Vineyards.

I've decided to take my probiotic today and play with my baby. My water is down the hatch for today. I'll cook tomorrow and start Wednesday. I don't want to doom myself because I'm ill-prepared!
