... after reading some posts last week about coolidors and talking with some guys at the LOLH VI yesterday I made up my mind to start scouring the local stores for some coolers on clearance. 45minutes into my search for a new cooler and it happened.
It started with a slight ringing in my ears, which quickly grew to a deafening roar. I dropped down to my knees in the middle of target and threw my head back about to let loose a blood curdling cry. Before I had a chance to scream bloody Sunday, I saw the white light at the end of the tunnel.
All the way at the top of an 8 foot shelf was a 48quart green cooler. Once I wiped the tears from my eyes I was able to clearly focus and realized that there was no price tag anywhere to be seen.
As I leapt with super human strength and snatched it off of the top shelf. I gripped it close and began to pet my new precious. I noticed some movement out of the corner of my eye and wheeled around and saw what appeared to be a middle aged woman with an 8 year old child. I clutched my precious closer and slowly backed away and soon was busting out in a full sprint to get to the checkout line.
23 minutes and 2 customers later the 92 year old cashier rang up my new precious and hit total. But I wasn't done yet; the cooler rang up as $0.00.
Shit, I thought to myself I should have bought something else and they would have never noticed. After about 10 minutes of fending off the cashier and the manager on duty from stealing my precious we agreed upon the price of $3.74.
48qt Cooler: 3.74
4lbs of Pure Silica Gel Litter: $3.36
The look on my fiancés face after explaining how much I plan on spending to fill the coolidor up: Priceless
