After experimenting with a lot of different chili recipes in the last year, Chad has decided to venture out and make up his own. He wanted to put his concoction in the crock pot all day to let it cook while we're at work. (I already can't wait to get home for this!)
When cutting up all of the ingredients last night before bed (and having already made one trip to the store), he realized we were out of chili powder. I suggested we get up a few minutes early and go to the store on our way to the gym.
At 5:30 a.m., we pulled in to the parking lot, but Giant was still closed. As one of the benefits of our urban landscape, there was a CVS right next door, which is open 24 hours. I ran over really quickly to see if they had any spices, knowing my chances were slim.
Two minutes later, I walked out with a container of chili powder. Just one. The time was 5:32 a.m. The total was $1.01.
I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall when the marketing manager at CVS headquarters tries to understand the rationale behind that purchase!
