baker's dozen
the other day i was faced with some pretty mind blowing information; a terrifying sight. it was a normal day just like any other. birds singing, the sun shining, my belt matched my shoes. all was going well and i really thought that this day was going to go great. i had gotten a lot of work done on one of my papers, i had eaten more then a bowl of cereal and a hotdog, things were looking up for the day. but then the unthinkable happened. while i was sitting at the kitchen table taking in the gloriousness of the day at hand, luke also known as the bruce walked in holding a red bag. now this bag looked familar. it had black writing on it and it was obviously from a grocery store. but it was from no frills. most of you are thinking oh matt must love this cool bag because it's from no frills, but that is where the problem was. no frills bags are yellow, not red. i was in shock, i really was. i had no idea what to think. would no frills actually have a frill? i could understand sobeys having special red bags, i could understand loblaws, or any other store having special seasonal bags, but no frills. no. they could not have special red bags because when you are a store that claims to have no frills, is changing the colour of your bag not a frill? what happened to the plain ugly school bus grocery bag that cost five cents and you could spot and know that it was from no frills a mile away. i guess these are desperate times but i did not think that they were so desperate that no frill would forsake their character, their disposition, their whole marketing scheme and sell frilly bags.

Good to know that your belt matched your shoes, Matt. I saw the red bags today too and I though the same thing as you...so much for No Frills.
there's hope. what if they're just switching over because red dye is cheaper? the problem would be if they keep both kinds of bags...what next...fluorescent green bags? THAT would be a frill. maybe you should write to the president...if they even have one...or maybe that's a frill too...
don't sweat it Matt! The red bags have come and gone before, panic not . . . the yellow bags will be back and will prevail!
The world will continue to spin properly on it's axis at that time - lol
Matt,
We've heard the No Frills rant. Time for some new material.
If new, funny, insightful material is something you're looking for, look no further than frewdan.blogspot.com
It's funnier than Matt Foreman, Stewie Griffin and Saved By The Bell combined.
hmmm maybe the company changed the bag prices and red is cheaper...no matter...this post was borring...except your belt matches your shoes...thats interesting...i used to match my eye shadow to my shirt...do you ever do that?
honestly i say go no frills!! for getting red bags!! red is so much better, and youll still notice that its from no frills from a mile away, so it deosnt make a difference!!atleast now u know that theres someone up there who cares!!
i never thought that a grocery store could even have a moral standard.... their tomatoes on the shelves are already rotting..... poor matt, he has farr to much time on his hands.
Matt sucks!!!
