Awhile back I wrote about how Jon HATES getting samples like the ones at costco. Refer to http://jonandbrethorpe.blogspot.com/2009/08/sample-anyone.html for a reminder.
So we were at Sams Club yesterday right before 6:00pm. Apparently for anyone that loves samples this is the best time to go. They were just cleaning up their stations and trying to get rid of their leftovers. I spent like 15 minutes at the shrimp cocktail bar and was loving it! Then I look over at Jon who is literally being followed around by this guy in a goofy apron and white hat begging him to take his frozen yogurt sample. "No thank you" "Come on its Ice Cream! You know you want it" "No I don't! I really really don't!" and this went on for a little bit ending with the guy giving it to Jon and running away. I come up to Jon and he said in a sad voice "I dont want it Bre" hahaa oh you poor poor thing. So I helped out and ate it for him. Poor guy he probably had nightmares last night from it lol.
About Me
- Jon and Bre
- Jon and I met in October of 2006 at a friends house and instantly became inseparable. After a few months of dating I knew he was the one however I had to do a little convincing him before he finally proposed January 19th 2008. We were married May 15th 2008 in the Salt Lake Temple and are excited for the journey ahead of us. Jon graduated in December '08 with his Bachelors in Technology Management; emphasis in Construction. I just started back to school to get my Nursing degree.

Lucky for Jon he married you (many reasons)-- you can save him from the sample fiends. Lucky for you you married him (many reasons)-- you get more samples!

The trap: “Even if you’re not hungry, a bite of food physically signals your body to get ready for a meal,” says Markman. Research shows that these physiological changes make you a less disciplined shopper.
What to do: Hold off on samples until the end, “right before checkout, so the insulin rush won’t affect your bottom line,” says Markman.
i saw this in an article today and thought of this.
