Sunday I had a craving for ice cream. I went to the local Ice Cream Speciaty Shop for a cone. Had never been there before. When I walked in I saw many people sitting at tables and (I counted them) nine people in line. Must be a good place for ice cream I thought. Looking at the Menu I saw a plethora of choices. I say plethora 'cause that's what someone that's a Starbucks freak told me about the choices there.
But I scoped in on the cost of a Scoop. A Scoop would cost me $4.90. Extra Scoops were an additional $1.20. So, I did the math. My double scoop of ice cream on a sugar cone was going to cost me $6.10. Do they tax ice cream cones? I think they do and I left the store.
Well, I just ate my fifth black cherry & buttered almond double scoop on a sugar cone since Sunday! Cause I went to Turkey Hill (a Philiies sponser) and bought two half gallons of my favorites. Buy one get one free. And at $4.99 a half gallon, I left with two halves for $4.99 and a box of 12 sugar cones...Total bill? $6.42 and I still have enough for seven more cones of double deckers.
Now that's smart shopping!
