OMG gift cards...good idea but somehow I don't remember ever seeing them at Food Basics. Anyways I will scope out the store on Thursday but going to call the girl tomorrow to double check a few things. Like are they starting me off at the beginning of the store? Do I have to return to a certain spot kinda like a race to qualify? Cuz all those will determine where I aim for, I want the pharmacy for the high end expensive stuff to max out the $250 but that is at the far end of the store, might take me half my time to get there. The meats are in the front but they do not have alot of halal stuff in that store so I will not go that route. Hmmm, so much to think about. I already have three friends coming to watch me, not sure if it is added pressure or a good cheering squad but everyone is so frikkin excited for me. The funny thing is these three friends all walked by the contest numerous times and thought 'who the heck wins these?' Suckers!!! I did... :) Ok better get to bed, Im so excited
