Once again the sun comes up in the East---its nice to know you can count on some things. Its Tuesday, and today is when we do the LP's grocery shopping---I think having spent the better part of yesterday listening to be moan, groan, scream with frustration snarl at everything and otherwise throw a day long hissy fit over the anti-virus fiasco, he opted to make today's shopping an easy one---his list consisting of "purchase any four days worth of TV dinners you like, and a book of stamps". When he gave me his list, and I read it---didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Actually that's not true, when he first gave me the list and I saw how simple it was I wanted to jump up and down with glee, but that was last night, now that I have slept on it so to speak, I find his list kinda insulting, like he was treating me like a simple child----like he didn't trust my shopping skills, and it makes me kinda angry. It occurs to me I should buy four days worth of frozen crispy fried chicken dinners (he can;t eat crisp foods as he has no teeth to chew with) would serve him right for being so insulting----but wait, now I AM BEING A SPOILED CHILD, and overly sensitive ----I think his gesture of allowing me to buy four days of food of my choice is HIS way of sympathizing with my all day long computer fiasco, and he trusts me to buy those foods that not only that I like but that he also likes and can eat. well damn thats why I call him
"The Little Prince"----what a great guy he is, a real true blue pal.-----I'll make that four days of MEATLOAF dinners, its the least I can do.

I always go grocery shopping when I'm hungry...leading me to buy more food then I need.
ReplyDeleteI try to go right after lunch, and go armed with a list of what I want---and then fight like hell to only buy what is on the list, and keep to a minimum last minute impulse buys. Howver being a old dude, I almost always find things that SHOULD have been on my list but I had forgotten (well thats how I rationalize it anyway (LOL).
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to get at least one *Super Food.*
ReplyDeleteI've never had Wasabi but then I don't like Sushi.
We've been eating blueberries every day now for two months. Waiting to see if my brain cells have increased any.
Bear((( )))
It's one of those well-known aphorisms that you don't shop on an empty stomach. Not only do I buy more, I buy badly.
ReplyDeleteAh Gary, you make me laugh! Really !
ReplyDeleteI see you are a sensible consumer. You don't suffer of the syndrome called "compulsive purchaser".
Thank you again for your kind comments on my blog. Ok you don't speak french, I hardly speak english correctly (I often use the dictionary) but we understand us with a simple smile , isn't it ?
I (mostly) never go to the grocery hungry and I don't take mr. kenju. He is the impulse shopper from Hell.
ReplyDeleteYou are a good man, Gary.
ReplyDeleteI also don't coupon either----way to easy to rationalize something you want impulsively, but don't need, on the basis of wanting to save a few pennies on a coupon.---besides Ralphs no longer offers to double the coupon values----.
ReplyDeleteYou will come up with four delicious dinners ... I just know it!! Happy Shopping Day Gary.
ReplyDeleteI hope you faired well on your shopping and bought 4 wonderful dinners to enjoy. I try not to shop on an empty stomach, but made that mistake last week and had to make myself put things back that I wouldn't normally buy.
ReplyDeleteFor the record people, I did NOT get all Meatloaf dinners---instead I got, your boneless B-B-Q pork ribs, Mexican Fiesta,Chicken Pot Pies, and Beeftips in mushroom gravy dinners----I wanna thank all the people at Claim Jumper, Marie Callendar's and Hungry Man, who made it all possible.
