Grocery Store

So this morning, Mark and I went to the Grocery store. We were in sore need of toilet paper. I know, I broke all the rules. I went all the way to the store for just one thing; wasting countless gallons of gas and wear and tear on my van. But here is the thing; we really needed toilet paper. So as I was walking back out of the store, I looked in my cart and IT WAS FULL. There is nothing worse than going to the store for just one thing because i never ever buy just one thing. I make the mistake of perusing the aisle and seeing what is on sale. Stupid! I should put on my blinders and go straight to the aisle I need and go directly to check out. Do I ever do that? No, I do not. So today, I came home with bucko bucks in groceries.

I didn't have have my camera with me so you will have to take my word that these took up my whole cart.


Do you think these were on my list? In a word, NO!


The good news is that I did get what I went there for. I have been known to come home from the store after going for just one thing and not even having the one thing I went there for. Jeesh.


It seems as though bread was on sale today. I didn't' even realize I bought this much until I got home. They love to see me coming at the store.


Disclaimer: Ordinarily, I would have used my mom's (We are staying with my parents. That is a story for another time) reusable shopping bags. But I thought I wouldn't need them because we only need one thing. No excuse I know.

It runs in the family this having to get "one thing" and coming home with the store. Sorry to tell you it only gets worse with age.

I am realy realy really glad you didn't forget the toilet paper since you gave me your horrible stomach bug - it is the least you can do to go and buy me some toilet paper. :)
