TTC After a Loss
I showed them!
So yesterday I came home to a little package by my front door and was so excited when I saw my name on it. I thought maybe someone sent me a gift! I opened it up to find 2 freaking canisters of Gerber formula. Thanks Gerber, I'll use those right away! How the heck did they know my name and address and why in the world did they choose me to send this to? I'm not talking a sample here, I mean these were 2 large canisters! I was beyond pissed.
So to show them how angry I was, I went to Walmart today and returned those little suckers! They were over $14 EACH and I got a gift card which I turned right around and used to buy myself 2 boxes of HPT's 
I figured, I'll probably wind up needing to buy them anyway since we're starting to ttcal and I got a total kick out of buying them on Gerber's dollar. I'm glad I decided to try to return them instead of throw them against our dumpster which was my original plan
The moral of this story: If you get stupid baby crap in the mail, don't trash it, try to return it and buy HPT's, ovulation tests, pre-seed, whatever! Show those companies who is boss

Lol well thank you to Rosie's DH! I totally didn't think about TB selling my info, those jerks! They really shouldn't be doing that, but I bet that is what happened because I've never signed up for anything baby related besides this account. Luckily it didn't make me cry, and allowed me to get some HPT's, but I'm sure many women would have had a really hard time seeing that in the mail. Maybe they'll send me more (fx!) haha
Honey. Have you learned nothing from us?
See siggy. Go Wondfo. Do you know how many Wondfo's you could have bought for $28?!?!?!

Lol I know! I was honestly thinking about that when I bought them, but I'm impatient and wanted to buy them right away, plus it was free so I didn't care. I'm a SUPER cheap person though, so when I need hpt's again, there's no way I'm spending that much of my own money on like 6 tests! You have taught me well, o wise one
