Working Mom
I got a part time job working for Giant Eagle Corporate Headquarters in Pittsburgh. I am doing product development/sensory work for my old boss, Jim, from Ross. It is perfect for a busy working Mom like me. I am doing projects at home at my leisure. The amount of hours that I work are flexible and can be as few as none or up to 40 hours a week if I want. I love the idea that I am using my brain and still staying in the game after 5 years of being a stay at home mom.
Most of my projects require me to purchase food at the grocery store and do various testing at home. I buy the food myself and turn in my receipts for reimbursement. Last week I bought over $450 worth of peanuts and mixed nuts in one trip. You should have seen the cashiers face when I unloaded my cart full of nuts onto the conveyor belt. She asked me if I bought every nut in the whole store.
Then she told me that the biggest grocery bill that she ever rang up was for a guy that was doing his regular grocery shopping and the total came to $640! She said that the guy winced a little bit when he saw the total bill then just handed her his credit card and started loading up his bags. Who knows with four boys that eat like ours do we may have $600 grocery bills in a few years too! Scary!!!
