<div>An ancient #prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the oldest known version of which is found on an Egyptian papyrus from the 3rd century. This prayer is used in Litanies to the Blessed Mother and as a concluding prayer to Compline. A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who recite it. 🙏🏻 SUB tuum praesidium confugimus, Sancta Dei Genetrix. Nostras deprecationes ne despicias in necessitatibus, sed a periculis cunctis libera nos semper, Virgo gloriosa et benedicta. Amen. ✝️WE fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin.

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
This is a tale of a savvy shopper(yours truly) trying to prepare herself a decent cup of coffee at work. </h3>
Here's the backstory:<br />
<i>Someone donated a Keurig on-cup coffee-maker to our department at school. It is phenomenal because everyone always has the coffee flavor that they like, on demand. Your coffee is always hot and ready when you are. We have no more drama about whose turn it was to bring in supplies or brew the pot. Nota bene: I am environmentally conscious and do use a </i><a href="https://www.sanfranciscobaycoffee.com/index.php/onecup-for-keurig-coffee-machines/" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">compostable pod</a><i> for my coffee. </i><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhf5hkHfT0w7esOrmVUPrcNoDmV_ydDFsl2hvbMiVKFQJrv9uzJPPoP50k6kZTzyXi_4Ni-wqOyiXsV5JHprGOM-yLC0745aYkbhYpOYqXIjORHAMLoVu9t_wx-6L8m0024xtAHA/s1600/buyer+beware+at+target.PNG" imageanchor="1"><img alt="Buyer Beware at Target " border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="683" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhf5hkHfT0w7esOrmVUPrcNoDmV_ydDFsl2hvbMiVKFQJrv9uzJPPoP50k6kZTzyXi_4Ni-wqOyiXsV5JHprGOM-yLC0745aYkbhYpOYqXIjORHAMLoVu9t_wx-6L8m0024xtAHA/s400/buyer+beware+at+target.PNG" title="Buyer Beware at Target " width="266" /></a></div>
<br />
So the other day the dreaded <u>descale coffee machine</u> message appeared (for the 1st time) on the display. There would be no more coffee until addressed: cue the dramatic music riff.<br />
<br />
I headed to the Keurig site to find out what to do. My choices were to buy a descaling solution or use vinegar. Normally, I would choose the natural remedy. However, the vinegar instructions stated it took 4 hours; no time for that at work. Time to begin the quest for the magic potion.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt1MoEEtbytml1b9PHszgZd8O1IG-Vt7s_vRSxWQdcSfdcjfmphqqLP9yt-nRix7xknNkR-d6_wM3w0azn3DeHmga-VGbRwkqfPfHJfn9x2Bj9YWt1QrmXqGX-Xdqjhz8JByrPGw/s1600/%255BUNSET%255D" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="bottle of Keuring descaling solution" border="0" id="id_7f9d_b811_1e8_3259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt1MoEEtbytml1b9PHszgZd8O1IG-Vt7s_vRSxWQdcSfdcjfmphqqLP9yt-nRix7xknNkR-d6_wM3w0azn3DeHmga-VGbRwkqfPfHJfn9x2Bj9YWt1QrmXqGX-Xdqjhz8JByrPGw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" style="height: auto; width: 298px;" title="bottle of Keuring descaling solution" tooltip="" /></a></div>
As usual, I searched Amazon first to see what it would cost. Ooh, it was only $6.75; unfortunately it was an add-on item and there was nothing else I needed to buy that costs $25. I need my coffee STAT!<br />
<br />
So on to the Target app which stated it was $6.79, sweet! I’ll willingly pay four cents extra for the convenience of having it immediately. The app even indicated that I could find it at my local Target in aisle C-41. and that’s where IT was.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My heart sank when I saw the tag on the shelf that indicated it was $13.79.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Confused I wondered, "what is this? Is this a different item? Is this a different size bottle than what I saw online?" I browsed some more and found the same bottle on ANOTHER shelf with a price of $12.99! I scanned both with the red scanner in the store which confirmed the lower price. I then scanned the bottle with the Target app:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
$ 6.79! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is going on? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can order it for pick-up in two hours and pay the app price or pay double to get it now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I’m a busy teacher mamma, I don’t have time for that. This savvy teacher mamma went directly to customer service. I explained the facts to the young lady in the red shirt. Her take was, "Well, online we have to be competitive so our price is going to be different on the shelf than on the app. However, we will honor the price you have there on your phone." Satisfied, I made my purchase with the app price.<br />
<br />
What's the lesson my friends? Shop with your smartphone, double-checking the prices of things that seem overpriced. There is no reason to pay twice as much for an item just because you are on-location.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The tale of Target evolved into a period of indentured servitude to the coffeemaker. The bottle stated it took 30 minutes to descale the machine. Well, it took 30 minutes to soak the machine. Then it took another hour - 12 big cups of water cycled through --which emerged as bright yellow, then changed to chartreuse and was finally clear again on the 10th brew.<br />
<br />
I sacrificed my whole preparation period for my colleagues and me to have caffeinated beverages.<br />
<br />
We're high school teachers: we need it.<br />
