Jordan awoke Thursday morning and went into the kitchen to roam the fridge. Leaning down into the icebox, he rummage around to see what was available. Seeing that there wasn't much, he grunted and opened the freezer, it was equally bare. Letting out a frustrated sigh, he closed the fridge and thought of what he would eat. He didn't have much money considering the fact that after paying his rent for that month and the month that he spend down here, he had bought a round trip plane ticket leaving enough for the car rental. He was an idiot for paying two hundred, sixteen dollars for the car for the full week and insurance that cost extra forty dollars to cover.
Now, as he thought about it, he could have taken the bus system from Richmond to Hampton, hitch hiking in any areas he needed to. He made a mental note to file that away the next time he to visit. Sighing, he glanced up at the clock, it was seven thirty in the morning there was plenty of time for him to get to the store and back. Running up to his room, he opened the closet, pulled down a small leather pouch and opened it. He took out the twenty dollars he had left over wondering what could he possibly get that would last while he was here. Peanut butter, jelly,bread, and sandwich meat. Although he didn't enjoy balonga to much, he'd have to make a due. Sighing, he zipped the pouch back up and sat it back on the shelf on the top of his closet.
When Jordan made it to the super market, he parked his car next to a grey Toyota. Going inside, he glanced around to see all kinds of specials going. It was just his luck, that piggly wiggly was having a sell. Cruising the isles he pulled off a pack of generic chess for a dollar in the mini dairy section. Next to that, he pulled out a pack of hot dogs that were also a dollar. He pulled two packages of meat. Going to the milk aisle, he saw that the half gallon jugs were a dollar a piece.
Denise pulled into piggly wiggly, cursing her mom for making her get up this early in the morning on her day off and go to the deli, just so she could get some boars salami and goat cheese. Sighing, she stepped out of her car and walked up to the sliding door that were electronically activated. Stepping inside the cool air, she headed straight for the deli, fuming the whole way.
Jordan stopped at the deli, checking out all of the meat in this section. He could really go for some peppered turkey right about now. He hadn't had any since he'd left. No coleslaw, or anything that was native to his southern roots. Lingering just long enough to think about trading in a few miscellaneous items, but not wanting to completely starve, he moved on away from the section.
