I made out like a bandit

I let the Nestles guys leave their stuff here later than checkout time because they had a fly out fishing trip and there wasn't anyone checking in to that cabin yesterday or today. When they got back they were really funny. Those boys enjoy partying. It actually turns out that only one of them works for Nestles, so maybe it wasn't really a company trip. I still don't get it. It was the Nestles guy, his dad and two other older guys who I think were friends of the dad.

They left a TON of groceries and told me I could have them. It's mostly junk food, but I'm actually very excited because when I was moving their stuff I had my eye on these mini cakey donuts that had powdered sugar frosting on them. I really wanted one, but I wasn't about to eat their food. That's just wrong. Now I get my donuts!! I'm sure they may have considered bringing the food with them if they didn't have so much salmon to bring home. One of the guys actually left some of his clothes behind because salmon is apparently more important than them. haha!

Before they left I asked if he had any more coffeemate coupons because I got the shaft. He said ". . . aaaaactually. . . " and waved me over to the car where he gave me a GIANT stack of them. He's the boss so he gets all the coupons, apparently. I'm pretty much set for a few years with coffeemate. He also gave me some Nestles Quik coupons. I'm told, as well, that Jamba juice will be available in our grocery stores by next year. Alrighty then.

I'm still laughing that getting the salmon home is more important than clothes. I poked fun at him about it and he said he actually does it all the time on fishing trips. So funny. He actually left waders in there, too, which can be expensive, so that's kinda cool. Now I have my very own pair of waders down here. Frenchy isn't a fan about lending them out because if you get one hole in them they're toast, and they're also a bit expensive. Understandable.

So, I walked away with some salmon, waders, lots of coupons, delicious donuts I've had my eye on all week and some other junk food. Not bad.

It's funny you say that, Erica. When he was giving me coupons he asked if I wanted the Nesquik ones and I just went, "eh" but he gave them to me anyways and I said, "I can give them to my nephew, he'll like it"

har har har.

I love Jamba Juice. Where will they be in grocery stores- MA or Alaska or elsewhere? Cool blog...

it's already in some stores, not sure where, though. It'll be in Boston by next year. Alaska I'm not too sure about. I'm assuming they're attempting a nationwide thing. It is Nestles, afterall. It's not the fresh blended ones you get from the counter, though, it's some sort of to-go drink they've formulated for grocery stores.
