This morning I went to Safeway armed with a $1 off coupon for a 15 ounce tub of butter-like spread. It was urgently needed, as Chris was making waffles this morning.Upon finding the appropriate aisle, I found that the spread was actually on sale for 99¢. I took it to the cashier, who struggled to figure out what to do about the Free Butter Mystery. She eventually called her manager, who came over and pushed some buttons, rendering my butter free.
Actually, better than free. The cash register told her that because the price was 99¢ and I had handed her a $1 off coupon, that she owed me 1¢. I dutifully took the penny, and returned home triumphantly, bearing both free butter and 1¢.
A grand morning of one-cent Win. The waffles were delicious as well.

Frame that penny so you'll always remember this victory and those delicious waffles.
Way to go! If you walked to Safeway, it was a win all the way.
Well, I would have walked to Safeway, but the waffles were impending-ready, so that would have taken too long.
I like to think that free butter, 1¢, and waffles is already a win all the way though.
Emergency situation, eh?
