The Happy World of Haribo :)

October 2, 2010

When Zach and I went to see The Town on Wednesday, we stopped into Walgreen's for our gummy of choice and found that all Haribo packages were on for 69 cents with an ad coupon. As this one was out of Gold Bears, we got some Happy Colas and were, indeed, happy. :)

On Friday we went to see The Social Network and popped into the Walgreen's down the street from us. This one had EVERYTHING. We also discovered we could get six (SIX!) with our coupon. So we got four Gold Bears and two Happy Colas, giving one to my mama. We also got a $2 off our next purchase. :)

So we decided to go back Saturday and stock up some more. (Hey, we go to the movies quite frequently, and these are the BEST. At least we don't sneak in beer...). We got three Gold Bears, two Happy Colas, and Twin Cherries in a cherry tree. So far we've eaten two bags and are working on a third. :)

I used my coupon, which means we spent a total of $6.97 on 13 packages of Haribo--or .58826 per bag (regularly $1.49). Score. :)

My mathematics may be off. I wasn't an English student for nothing, mind you. :)

Affleck-Damon movies about Boston make me never want to go there. Ya know what I mean?
But Ben is sure talented; he wears so many hats well. :)

This movie was amazing. How can I tell I was mesmerized? For one, I didn't touch my popcorn and Coke after the movie started. And B) I stuffed my face with Haribo Happy Cola and put off going to the loo until.I.got.home. AFTER we stopped for free hot chocolate at McDonald's and a wreck occurred right as I stepped out of the car in the drive-thru. I felt like I was in a State Farm commercial.

I'm still not quite sure where I would place my compassion and sympathy. I kinda wanted them to get it--I couldn't believe how Claire was betrayed--I mean that was a one-of-a-kind betrayal...and what about how Blake Lively's character was treated? Sheesh. (Wasn't her name Christina? *lol*) I'm still not sure what her daughter's name was...and I actually heard her name said.

Zach could point out places that he had been when he was in Boston last spring.
From Wikipedia: At the movie's premiere, Affleck made a similar statement: "Charlestown isn’t full of bank robbers and Dorchester isn’t full of bad guys and Southie isn’t full of math geniuses or bad people."
Well, thank goodness for that, Ben.
That means I can go someday. ; )
