If you have been a constant follower of this blog or any of my blogs, I have mentioned so many times before that I really want to buy a nice grill but every time I try to save for it, something always comes up. Either here but most of the time in the Philippines. I know, why would I be excited with just a grill, right? Well it is something that I really want even when we still lived with Dad. When I wanted one Ryan got me one but it was really tiny because we didn’t have the space to put it away. It was charcoal that grilling something using it takes forever. I remember we only used it just once. Anyways, I helped Ryan with his stores last Monday and Tuesday without expecting any pay. I know exactly what to do because I have done it before as a part time job. After servicing Matteson, I took Ryan to the garden section of the store. I remember seeing an expensive three burner gas grill in one of the endcaps when I was shopping with Frankie and Papa last week. When we went there it was already 50% off from the original price. There were two boxes. The other one already opened while the other is still intact and unopened. So I took Ryan there just to show him the grill. I wasn’t expecting him to react about it, I was just showing it to him when he immediately said, this is really nice for this price and that we will get it tomorrow. My eyes grew really really big and I was sooooo happy. Finally we can cook out in our backyard this summer. I insisted of buying it that night but we only took the small car and he wanted to dine out somewhere for dinner so the store might be close by the time we get back to get it. It was already clearance so we are not able to hold it either. Ryan and I agreed that he will pick me up earlier today so that we can take the van to pick up the grill.

I was so scared that it won’t be there when we go pick it up. I told Ryan that I am going to cry if it is all gone hehehe. Good thing when I showed it to him yesterday, there was another grill that was exactly the same in another shelf but they missed marking it. So it appears like the ticket was only 15% off the original price. When we walked in Target, Ryan saw someone with the grill going to the register. I was so scared that it was all gone. When we got there, the two grills that were in the endcap were already gone but the one across it on a shelf was still there. Ryan made sure that we are going to have the right price and we did. The pricing peps just forgot to ticket it. I was so happy when Ryan finally put it in the van. During the summer I can now cook dried fish outside. I am glad I found it. Ryan said it was my reward for helping him and although I didn’t expect anything, at any rate it was a very nice gesture. I/we finally have a grill. Yehey!
