proof that some kind of god exists:

i was at the self checkout counter at Shaw's, picking up a few things for dinner. i left my bag in the car, but had $40 in my coat pocket because i wasn't planning on spending more than that anyway, and it is too annoying to lug around my huge work tote at the supermarket. as i totaled everything up, i reached $39.80 before i could scan my last item: a can of Progresso Split Pea Soup with Ham (which was $2.89). woefully, i placed the can on the "stuff you decide at the last minute you don't want" shelf..and slid my money into the machine.

(i realize i could have run out to the car and grabbed more money, but why would i do that? i'm pretty lazy)

seconds later, a coupon spits out from the end of the machine "$2.50 Off Your Next Purchase. Brought to you by Progresso".

SCORE

Split Pea Soup with Ham you are MINE.



(it looks nasty, but it is delicious i assure you)
