But tonight, I couldn't help it. I worked in my classroom after school and didn't want to make dinner. I knew I had stuff to make a salad, so I thought I'd quickly stop and get some salad shrimp.
As I unloaded my hand-basket onto the checkout belt, I couldn't help but notice the randomness of my purchases:
- A pack of Light String Cheese
- A bottle of white wine
- 1/2 lb of salad shrimp (only item I was really shopping for)
- Pack of gum (yep, impulse item at check-out stand)
- A bag of pretzels (I craved them last night, and to be prepared in case the craving came back)
- Two 1/2 gallons of Organic Milk (this is a random purchase for me. I hardly drink milk. I'm still mulling over this particular purchase)
Items I looked at but didn't actually buy:
- Chicken breasts (why am I looking at these? I'm eating a shrimp salad tonight!)
- Cottage Cheese
- Corn on the Cob
- Salmon
- Turkey for sandwiches
I suppose it could be worse. But still.
Hey your list looks really good to me. I can never go to the store and buy just milk without walking out of there with at least 5 to 10 other items and that would be considered a good night for me!
ReplyDeleteHow funny that I was buying random items at the gorcery store last night on an empty stomach too! Bad idea! I ended up getting hummus, artesian bread, avocado, cottage cheese, yogurt and coffee creamer. Only went in for the bread, but everything looked so good! We're hopeless...
ReplyDeleteI also regret the LIGHT string cheese . . . it is so not as good.
ReplyDeleteAt least you didn't buy chocolate, lard, or Doritos....All temptations for me. Oh, and Twizzlers.....
