I used to go grocery shopping with my Dad & ask for the most nutrition-free sugary no-chance-in-hell things, like Count Chocula cereal, etc.
Instead of saying 'no', he'd always say "Just wait, we might get it when it goes on sale."
I didn't really understand the idea of a 'sale' & just thought that the evil grocer-man was displaying these items to torture kids & never letting the 'good' cereals leave the shelves of his store.
I hated the grocery store owner's kids for years because of this misunderstanding.
Sorry kids!
