Empty Wallet

"Honey, I have to run to the Club store and by a grizzly bear, be right back."
Linda went to one of those "club" big-box stores today.  She was looking for her favorite salmon burgers, but she could not seem to find them.  Instead, she bought some real salmon fish slabs.  They are three times as expensive, but they do taste better.  While she was there, she picked up a huge block of Chip's wet food.  It is four times the size of me and has enough cans to last her two months.  I was really hoping she would be living at Tierney's by then, but I guess the food can go with her.  She bought Noah a cute pair of warm sweatshirt overalls, a 5 pound bag of fresh string beans and a box of cookies for Chim and I.  There were some odds and ends (spices, wipes, protein shakes...) thrown in the cart too.  When she got to the checkout, she was shocked when the cashier told her $188!  How is that possible??  Looks like she'll be teaching a few extra classes next week.
