I made the ULTIMATE grocery shopping mistake Saturday night.
Anyone?
Can you guess it?
Yes, I went grocery shopping HUNGRY. And not just hungry but ravenous. Growling stomach and all.
Let me tell you something. Other than Sunday mornings during the congregational prayer, my stomach NEVER growls. Not so Saturday evening. Maybe it was prepping for Sunday morning?
So, I did my shopping and didn't really delve into my psyche enough to realize what I was doing. Because HELLO, I was out at the grocery store kid free! My mind goes crazy fun bonkers when I'm set loose like that. Dangerous I tell ya, Dangerous!
My Sister Becca was at my place when I came home. Bag by bag was unloaded and she. couldn't. stop. laughing.
Why? This is why. I brought home:
4 cartons of ice cream
1 bag of lime tortilla chips
3 jars of queso (just in case we got snowed in)
1 bag of Reeses peanut butter cup bites (in pastel wrappers. Because anything in a pastel wrapper can be marketed as EASTER candy. So dumb)
3 Flavored coffee creamer (Coconut cream my NEW FAVE!)
1 loaf of WHITE bread!? We are a hard core wheat bread only household. SERIOUSLY where was my brain?
Oh yes and 2 cans of extra large (but light!) whipped cream.
Busted. No WONDER she laughed at me.
My only saving grace is that I DID purchase 2 lemons, a can of diced green chiles and some fresh chives. You know, the nutritional equivalent of sucking on some pine cones.
Good thing I have superhuman incredible self discipline to avoid those foods or I'd be in MAJOR trouble...

ReplyDeleteHahahaha...sure you're not pregnant?!? That sounds like a pregnant woman's diet!
ReplyDeleteHa! I can so relate!
ReplyDeleteChives are actually a good source of Thiamin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Phosphorus and Zinc, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, Copper and Manganese.
ReplyDeleteYes, I Googled them to make you feel better. Not at all because I desperately don't want to fold the giant pile of laundry that had completely covered my loveseat. I'm totally not stalling. Nope. Not at all. Hey, on another, completely un-related topic, do you want me to sing a song? No? Drat.
This was seriously the funniest thing I've read all week. Thank you for the laugh... We've all been there... LOL ok, maybe not quite that bad, but you get what I'm sayin. :)
