The Ream's Bandits

So Tuesday as Andrew and I waited to take the bus home from campus, we noticed in the Daily Universe (BYU's Newspaper) that there were scratch and win coupons in every newspaper for Ream's, a local grocery store. Well, we had another ten minutes or so until the bus came so we decided to get to work and start scratching. It was about 5 o'clock so I feel like people had there fair chance to win already. So we tried to be inconspicuous about it and go through every paper and scratch the coupon to see what we could win. There were four things you could possibly win: an ice cream cone, a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, or a $100 gift card. We were mainly going for the gift card but we ended up with about 30 scratched coupons, none of which were gift cards.



It was kind of disappointing not to win the big prize, it felt like we were looking for a golden ticket, like in Willy Wonka. But we were really excited to go and get all of the things we did win. The only catch was that you can only use one coupon per person per visit.

So Tuesday night we went and got ice cream cones. Each day since then we've gone about twice each time. So we've frozen two loaves of bread and given some donuts and milk and extra coupons away to Jessica and Laura.


Well the coupons expired today so we're going to miss our little visits to Ream's. We really like Ream's, we'll probably start doing some of our regular grocery shopping there. I think they've gained two new loyal customers.

Speaking of making memories in my last post, I think we accomplished that again this week with our little scratch and win coupons!
