What you would have heard yesterday, if I had Twitter
La, la la la… time for groceries! I am optimistic, the sun is shining, I have coupons.
Wow. So I had to get stuck behind a dumpster truck, parked in the middle of a one way street. Awesome.
So dude behind me decided to try to get around me and Mr Dumpster Truck, was unsuccessful. Double awesome.
OK! On the road.
Cool! Great parking spot right by Trader Joe’s.
Flowers! No, Dani, you have a budget and a list. You are here for only the bare essentials, which does not include pretty things.
But…. oh! Cookies! I should have eaten breakfast.
OK. Back on track. Lettuce! Cheap, healthy, on the list. Check.
Squash. I don’t really like squash. Maybe Adam does. Is it cheap? Can I cook squash? I’ll put it in the basket and think about it.
Have decided I don’t know what to do with squash. Need more Food Network – keyword: squash. Put squash back.
Squash. SQUASH. Squish squash.
Tortilas! Coffee. Beer.
$4.99 for a six-pack? Yes, please.
OK, done! Only bought what was on the list! The Nichols are on their way to a smart budget! Hallelujah!
Oh, I still have to go to Ralphs.
My car was parked really close to TJs and far from Ralphs. Bummer.
Diet Coke on SALE!? AND Dr Pepper?! The stars are aligned.
Ten pounds of potatoes for $2.99. Holy jeez. How many things can I make with potatoes?
Water for the coffee-maker. Creamer. Morning ritual, done.
I have four cases of soda, three gallons of water and 10 pounds of potatoes in my basket, among other things. Can shopping carts give you a hernia?
No. But going over speed bumps with shopping carts can.
Holy cow my truck is far away. WHY was that a good spot, again?
AGH! I forgot Adam’s salami for backpacking this weekend. DANGEVERYTHING.
Grocery trip strictly following the list and being oh-so-budget-conscious – WIN! Salami-remembering and parking-job – FAIL.
