A Cereal Deal Finder

(My dad and I are at the checkout counter. I buy my own things. The store is running a ‘spend $100 and get a free turkey’ promo. My dad is always on the lookout for a deal, and has no problems spending $100+, so he grabs a turkey. But of course, THIS time…)

Cashier: “All right, your total is $97.”

Dad: “What? It figures….”

Me: *looking at the checkout counter’s candy rack* “Hey, dad, want to get a couple candy bars to make it up?”

(Dad looks at the rack, and then turns to my items, on the belt behind his.)

Dad: “What have you got here?”

Me: *indicating a box of cereal* “Well, that’s $4.60—”

(Dad grabs it and puts it with his items, and the cashier rings it up.)

Cashier: “All right, your total is $101.”

Dad: “Just enough!”

(We all chuckled. What my dad will do to get a deal sometimes…)
