Wrong Chicken

Sometimes, I do silly mistakes like:

buying the wrong chicken... Yes, you read that right. Wrong chicken.

I went to buy my groceries three days ago, taking advantage of the student discount every Tuesday (being the cheapskate I am). Chicken was on my to buy list because I saw that it was on sale in the flyer I subscribed too (very makcik-ish, I know). However, I didn't find any in the freezer! Pfft.

I then resorted to a readily packed chicken thighs and did not realise that it was not branded with the Halal sticker on it despite being underneath the Halal section. Unwarily, I bought it because it was cheaper. -_-

I only realized it when I went to the grocery store the next day to accompany my friend. I was lucky that I felt lazy the night before that I decided not to cook the chicken and ate scrambled eggs instead.

I was contemplating to return the chicken as I was not sure whether poultry products were returnable. The next morning, I woke up early anyway and brought my chicken back to the store. I was determined that if they would not accept it for return, I would give it away to the cashier (should not waste chicken!).

Cashier: Was there something wrong with it?

Me: No, I just bought the wrong chicken.

Cashier: Um, kay.

However, they did accept chicken returns. The chicken was back in store and I am back $5 richer.
