If their is one thing that I am placed in a chock hold by is when it comes to buying the groceries
because that means i would have to go to each and every individual just to get the most niche stuff ever
“Tree could you buy that yoylecheesecake!”
That thing costs my entire budget
“Tree could you buy me gelatins remains”
What..
“Get me 2.3 ounces of flour.”
Why bottle
“For fun…hehe!!”
So when four gave me my budget of 40 bucks,how should I get the most out of it while also catering to the contestants needs?
Easy!
“Just buy everything in bulk”
They squeal out like it’s a miracle that the concept of bulk exists
——-
The supermarket is brightly lit with deals and offers each flickering in the night
Most people leave the place buried in their items,it seems like the shopping bags are floating
Speaking of shopping carts..
Do I have to touch that..
Eugh
I cluch onto the cart,the wheels rustic and barren
“This is gonna be a long night”I whisper to myself
As I enter a loud ping rushes through my ears,wafting my wings
I swear these things have a mind of their own
Rows and rows of Items are stacked like cargo,each and every place unpacked from their respective shelves
“Buy everything in bulk they said”
I push my cart round the shelves attempting to find the dairy.
As I get closer the place gets colder
And there it is
On the top shelf of dairy and cheese the milk hung,like a jug of oil which stood on stacks of more “oil”
And in this case it’s milk.
Grabbing it down the milk sloshed round the carton,like a carnival,as I place it on the cart
I check off the milk as I head of to the rest of the items
———
As I pass by the bread isle I notice a sale on jelly
More specifically
Coffee jelly
Huh…
If I remember correctly,Golfball mentioned her obsession with coffee jelly to donut
And I did kill her last episode
Like 15 times..
I owe it to her after all
And I do admire her and her work ethic
Wait
It’s just one serving of coffee jelly…and they’re charging my entire budget on it..
I could just get the 3 pack one version
I see Golfball getting this one
Which is only $1.20
For three mind you!
And if I get this one then it’s more coffee jelly
Clearly this one’s the best
She would want a lot of jelly so this one is the best
Quantity beats quality!
Wait..
Net weight?
So each one is smaller because it’s in a bigger pack
So it’s not double..it’s about 1.2763 times
So the $40 one is better?
After all quality beats quantity!
My allowance is 40$ so I’m wasting my entire budget on one coffee jelly
That’s obscene
Who would spend that much money of coffee jelly
.
..
…
I would!
Now I know what you may be thinking,one coffee jelly for $40 seems a bit expensive
But Golfball would be so happy
And she would forgive me!
So it’s worth it!
——
The hotel is closed shut,if I open it,they will see me with it and stuff their mouths with it..
Or they would get mad at me
And I would have to spend $520 on each and every contestant
Plus I would need to buy for four and x and for their big appetites would mean I would have to buy 5 for each
So that’s 2,600!
No..
Tree think right now
I could ask black hole?
But they don’t know I killed Golfball so then I would be betraying the pact and I would have to save my reputation
And black hole doesn’t know how to eat so I would have to do something through acts of service
And then I would waste my time
Wait
Golfballs window!!
Easy!
Dropping the bag gently,I dig my hands for a stone good enough for me to catch her attention
I end up finding a stone just enough for the glass not to break but for her to hear me
Whack
A second passes
And another
Golfballs head peeps out as I try to point at the bag in my hand
She adjusts her glasses and for a moment I swear I can see her eyes glow with curiosity
She opens her window,and extends her protestetic arm
It doesn’t move
All all
“Great job”I call out,deadpan
Golfball scrunches her nose
“Wait a moment”She respond
Her arm reaches to the ground,with a loud thunk
“Bring it over!”
I grab onto the arm
“Not you!..ugh never mind”
The arms twists back,and an adrenaline rush powers through,as my hair and wings sore through the air
oof
Faceplant
“You good”
I wimply reach out my hand,with a thumbs up
“Good..so what’s in the bag”
I push myself back up,as I open up the bag,hoping if the jelly is not broken
“So after I killed you very brutally I thought i could get you this as a token of my-“
“I love you”
“What”
But Golfball sits herself down on her chair,munching happily on the jelly her eyes glowing with glee
“So do you accept my apology”I shrug my arms out,hoping for her approval
After a couple bites she stares at me
“I kinda forgot about it but it’s fine I guess I forgive you”
After she finishes it she drops her hands plate to the ground
“But now that you’re here..maybe I can investigate on your wings”
I grab onto my wings like it’s my life support
“Don’t eat them!”
Golfball stares at me like I’ve gone crazy,as she responds
“They don’t even look that good..Leafys was better anyways”
“WHAT”
