One day, while at Costco, there was a FIVE pound bag of good and plenty's. Wow. And they were really cheap. I mean, in those boxes you get what, 6 ounces? So, of course, my friend and I were compelled to buy it. I mean, we really liked good and plenty's. A lot. You can never get enough good and plenty's. Well, until you buy a five pound bag. The, about two handfuls in, you've had enough. You can barely look at the bag, let alone eat anymore. The smell even seems a tad sickening. Five pounds of good and plenty's is more than plenty. It's like...........crazy. But, it was such a good DEAL.
So many deals seem good at the time. Like you can't pass them up. The kind at the grocery store. Or the kind in relationships. But, what something seems is not always how it really is. Sometimes my mind is blinded by the offer of something big for little money. Or by not having to do a chore that I don't want to do in return for some favor. Life is like that. Good deals. Making deals.
But, while deals are good in the grocery store. Good at the Wal-Mart. Good when getting a decent buy. Sometimes, the deal is not good. It's like the bag of good and plenty's. It LOOKS good, it sounds tempting, but really, it stinks. And, when that is the case, it's ok to say, "no thanks." I'm still learning that. I don't have to take every deal that comes along. In any venue. I get to choose. So do you.
I chose those good and plenty's and they should have been called horribly too much's........I learned my lesson the hard way. But I plan on remembering it so as not to waste it.
