Amanda is Confused (Again)

I know that I am not really with it this week with my cold and all, but I have had several confusing things happen in the past few days.

1.) I was at Kroger looking for some NyQuil and I found this really great deal, buy one, get one free on Kroger brand NyQuil stuff. So I decided to get the 20 pill pack for $5.59 which would give me 40 pills for that price. I was so impressed with myself for finding this deal and I was ready to go pay for my pills, when something else caught my eye. A combination pack of 20 daytime pills and 20 nighttime pills for $4.49 + buy one, get one free. Does this make sense to anyone? Why would anyone buy 40 pills for $5.59 when you could get 80 for $4.49? I stood there for a while wondering if I was reading it wrong, or what the catch was, but there was no catch, so I bought my 80 pills at a great sale price.

2.) While at Kroger, I was really there to pick up a prescription for this antibacterial ointment that I put in this sinus rinse that I do (which is truly a Midevil torture device) when I have a sinus infection. They said that they didn't have enough tubes to fill my order. "Enough tubes?" I thought, "I was only picking up one." Oh no, they wanted to give me six. Six! I have only used one or two in the last three years, and they want to give me six at a time! Not only that, but I am set up to get 132 tubes of this stuff before the year is out. That made me really confused.

3.) I started reading "The Jane Austen Book Club" today, and I am already confused because it is written in the first person, but you don't know who that person is. They say that there are six people in the club, but each time the author talks about a person, he/ she talks in the third person, but they also use words like "we," "I," etc. Maybe it is a Jane Austen thing.
