While Beaumont is the biggest white trash city in the world (and yes, I will fight you for that title), I have to admit that the people here have one good/horrible quality. They know a good deal when they see it and they are not afraid to fight for it.
Walgreens currently has 5 12-packs of Dr. Pepper on sale for a mere $10. While I am not a Dr. Pepper addict (yet), I am not going to pass up 60 cans of ANYTHING for only 21 cents a can.
So, not really planning anything out, I moseyed over to Walgreens just a few minutes ago to pick up my 12-packs. When I got there, there were two VERY large women hovering over the stack of Dr. Pepper. I stood back and waited for them to finish before I waded in. I was loading my 5 packs into my cart when another VERY large lady came bustin' around the corner, eye on the prize. I quickly calculated and realized that there were only 9 packs remaining...one shy of the 10 that we would need for both of us to fill the 5-pack-each quota.
The VLL (Very Large Lady) started punching in the hand grips on the 12-packs and slinging them into her cart...A LOT faster than I was slinging my own since I had taken the pretty girl approach of picking them up from underneath. Not to be outdone, I also started punching and slinging and ended up wining the contest and the extra 12-pack.
Naturally, the VLL was very upset and started grumbling about having to take a 12-pack of Diet Dr. Pepper. Listen lady, all is fair in love, war, and white trash sale getting contests.
I have to admit that I am weirdly proud of my Dr. Pepper victory. Just wait until I'm a seasoned veteran and no longer a new-to-Beaumont-and-Beaumont-white-trash-sales-rookie.
