Hello to all you bargain hunters.
The other day I was in one of the local Walmart’s stores when
a woman that I can only surmise was clearly not a fan of a mine, tried to
insult me. Whether she was a part of the
group of harassers who have been attempting to cause trouble among the
neighbors in the area or an outrage mother who dislike me saying that some
mothers in our neighborhood were essentially clueless to the whereabouts and
actions of their trouble seeking off-springs I don’t know and I truly don’t
care.
One thing was clear she and her companions were sizing me
up. True I am a little slow on catching
hints and some of the stupid slights women tend to make toward other women, but
it was clear to me this woman was overly curious about me. She and the others watched everything that I
put in my cart, and so when she could not engage me in conversation or bait me into
an argument she resorted to calling me ‘Seven Ninety Eight’.
As stated above I am slow to catch a hint or a slight
directed toward my person. This is probably because I was taught better
manners. Nevertheless, when I realized that this woman was attempting to insult
me because I was buying some inexpensive reading glasses, I was not sure if the
matter was worth getting angry over. And now that some time has passed, my
response to her is thank you for recognizing the super bargain hunter that I am.
Like millions of people, I truly believe that in saving on the cost of some products
one can have the funds for nicer things when needed.
Therefore, being called ‘Seven Ninety Eight’ is no insult.
Personally, I did looked good when I was out shopping the
other day. So if the glasses I wore were
the only thing about me this woman could find to insult, then I am doing well.
In fact, for sixty-four year old, multiracial woman dressed as nicely as I was
--- I looked down right fantastic. Many
other people told me. However, since I enjoy dressing for me, I did not need
the compliments. Yet, a little conceit does a body good from time to time.
I also want to thank that woman for helping me come up with
the title to my new blog, ‘Seven Ninety Seven’ The Bargain Queen. It will be about bargain
shopping, easy fix recipes, cleaning the and other fun money saving tips. I have been thinking on such
a blog for some time now, but could not come up with an interesting title
before this incident.
In the next coming weeks ‘Seven Ninety Seven’ The Bargain Queen will premiere
with fresh new articles. Yes, the title is one cent less, but I am a bargain
hunter after all.
