And indeed it wasn't, because before I left the store that day, another attendent at the meat counter called me back to the meat department and handed over a 5kg box of frozen sausages (at sale price) from the freezer. To my satisfaction, sausages shipped frozen from the plant and they will remain frozen until I choose to use them.<br /><br />But you made a reasonable point -- it was an ad that could have been interpreted either way.Roberta Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032348890093502999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729729299765225091.post-52529890018168431252009-08-26T17:46:37.242-06:002009-08-26T17:46:37.242-06:00Yes, fortunate, Dick.

I do like the lighter look at your place.Roberta Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032348890093502999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729729299765225091.post-65583752678156115282009-08-26T05:14:04.966-06:002009-08-26T05:14:04.966-06:00But R, if the sale was all about the thawed sausag...But R, if the sale was all about the thawed sausages (which, once thawed could not be refrozen, I presume), why would there be frozen ones still available at the sale price? See? I would have been as confused as that clerk, lol.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555472024981357622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729729299765225091.post-76729789400631294642009-08-25T10:16:10.244-06:002009-08-25T10:16:10.244-06:00Once the rule, now the exception.
