This Is Why The Pony Wears Glasses

I have been telling The Pony that he might want to check out the 5 for $19.99 deal at Country Mart. He shops there on occasion, but does not look in the refrigerated bins where these selections are kept. He mainly goes around the perimeter, I think, for the meats, and the frozen goods inside the glass doors. These would be quick items that he could prepare after a hectic day at work, and not have to stand and cook much, nor buy pricey delivery food.

Anyhoo... I took some pictures Thursday to show The Pony what kind of stuff I was talking about. Shockingly, they were 5 for $25! I'm sure they used to be cheaper, but I might be confusing that store with Save A Lot's deals. Anyhoo... I saw a lot of breakfast food selections that The Pony could eat for supper, since he rarely eats much for breakfast, what with having all that 11-mile walking route to get through. I know he likes hash browns. A couple of them could even work for breakfast.


Just before our 6:00 a.m. phone call Friday, I started sending pictures to The Pony by text, figuring we could talk about such items. Of course my phone decided to show out, and sent the food pics, but then wouldn't send the two of The Unofficial Hillbilly Family Pupster, nor let me make my call to The Pony. That stupid phone said I was not registered on a network, and could only make emergency calls. Farmer H's phone does this sometimes, and The Pony's used to, when he lived out here. I had to do a restart, which thankfully worked this time.

"I got those food pictures, and I was trying to figure out the first one. What is THAT? Why is she sending me this? Is that french bread? Then I enlarged it, and saw that it said Hash Browns. I didn't have my glasses on yet."

Heh, heh. Let's hope that The Pony never loses those glasses. And if he does, that he calls an Uber, or Farmer H or me to drive him to get a replacement pair!

  1. 5 for $25 is still a good deal.

    1. River,
      Yes. If you don't buy 5 of the items, they are about $1-$2 more for each of them.
