Walgreens?

Leina is an astute shopper. She knows that Walgreen's offers hella coupons and discounts in their circular and often don't even put the sale prices up in the store; it just rings up cheaper when you check out.

So Leina flipped through this week's circular and noted that many of her staples were on super sale there--kleenex, canned mandarin oranges, and Pringles. She clipped a few of the coupons and made a list of the things she wanted that were cheap.

So Leina went to the pharmacy and filled her basket with the abovementioned items, feeling savvy. However, after getting almost all the way through her list she realized that she was not in a Walgreen's--it was a Rite-Aid! Super frustrated, Leina sheepishly put down her basket and left. She had forgotten that several months ago, what used to be a Walgreens had turned into a Rite-Aid.

Valentine's

Charles wanted to go out to a nice dinner for Valentine's Day. Leina had a better idea. They would both eat dinner at their respective homes and then Leina would drive down to Foster City and they could go out afterwards. The plan was a success. They drank bubble tea.

Not staying at Ricca's

Leina is in L.A. with Charles right now visiting friends. Ricca had invited them to stay with her. But Leina didn't want to impose. She wouldn't stay at Ricca's even though Charles said he'd be comfortable there, because he knew Ricca best of Leina's L.A. friends. But Leina didn't want to impose so, despite her cheapness, they booked a hotel room.
