Is it any wonder that my cart at Market Basket contained the following items -- blueberry Pop Tarts (no frosting, I'm trying to eat healthy), braunschweiger, a box of couscous, a package of genoa salami for Chris, a container of Ben & Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk and an industrial sized box of Wheat Thins? Honest to God, it looked like I was getting ready to throw a 4:20 party. (I'm not. I swear...)
So there I am as the Market Basket in Nashua, NH, wheeling my cart listlessly through the aisles, grabbing whatever looked good and I thought we needed. Apricot jam? Sure. I'll get the store brand, though, because it's the same as Smuckers but cheaper. Roasted chicken? It's healthy and I can put the jam on it as a garnish. Dried cranberries can go in the couscous with the chicken and the mushrooms in the back of the refrigerator. I can even throw in that corn on the cob I bought last week and never used.
One should never enter a grocery store in this condition.

lol. I've found myself there many times.....most exhaustion induced shopping ends in economy sized wheat thins. :)
Okay, first of all....
You do get "free food" where you work, so why are you buy so much to begin with? Second, I don't really have those "bad days" anymore, but I have gone to the store "hungry" and it's not a pretty site. I've convinced Ed that he is better off going to the store without me. When I go, the bill usually jumps from $45 to $125. There are just so many things that I didn't realize that I needed until I saw them at the store. Oh well, as a "recovering" shopaholic, it is a difficult place for me to be. LOL
Deb in PA - the kitchen doesn't have blueberry Pop Tarts, now, do they?
And if they did Cole would be in a heap of trouble...hehehe
