The last two days have involved some wild goose chases for me!
Yesterday, there was allegedly an event about autism on the SCC Beatrice campus’s dining hall. I walked over there, and there was no evidence of said event, nor any information about whether it was a speaker, a table, or a display. Thus, it was a wild goose chase, but at least I managed to not waste the trip since it involved walking, which is never a wasted trip!
Today, I had two items on my shopping list: peppermints to refresh our stock after Samantha and I both used a bunch of them, and egg roll wrappers to take to Mom & Dad’s tomorrow for her birthday dinner.
The first stop was Target, since my Discover card is earning 5% cashback there right now.
Alas, this Target had NEITHER item. (I found on the Target app that they might not even stock them here, so I might have been able to avoid the wasted trip. Though, it wasn’t a wasted trip because it was on my way anyway from where I was going.
At Super Saver, I found the egg roll wrappers (which were the more important item anyway), but I whiffed on the peppermints. Go figure!
One out of five ain’t great, but at least the four misses weren’t based on wasted trips!
