It pays to attention

Last night I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things.  We had let our cupboards go bare and needed something for dinner.  I have a few things that need to be picked and I want to look for something to have for dinner.

I go down the frozen food isle.  I know, not extremely healthy, but convenient.  I wanted to get some ice cream.  The one I had in mind is usually pricey, but I had a coupon.  The last time I was in the store, it was on a great sale.  Not that night.  Plus there not any flavors I wanted for the high price.  I did see some ice cream that I could get two for the price of getting that one.  So I did.

I found a great deal on skillet meals.  So I picked up two.  Once home, to my dismay, I had picked up one that was not on sale.  So due to my error I purchased one not on sale and three times the one on sale.  I harped on that until Wendy rationally said we could not eat out for that price.

Today for lunch I wanted a orange from the bag I bought last night.  Most of the bags last night were in bad shape, but I thought I picked out a good one.  Apparently not.  I had to toss two because they were already moldy.  If you cannot get produce from the grocery store, where can you get it?  Maybe I should try a farmer's market.

I guess that is why Santa checks his list twice.
