Whoops! Got Caught Red Handed!!!
So the hubs and I were at Sam’s Club yesterday. Guess who I ran into? MS. BETTY from my surgeon’s office!! As I’m wheeling up to the register with 2 gigantic, over-flowing carts (totaling almost $650!), here comes Ms. Betty with her almost empty cart. Seriously? How can you only buy 3 things at SAM’S??? LOL…I hope like goodness she didn’t see all of the junk I was buying. But I’m gonna go out on a limb here (and a shaky one, at that), and use the standard defense of “It Wasn’t Mine!” I am babysitting this summer. I have 5 children that I’m keeping, and lemme tell ya: the kiddos can EAT!! Good Gravy!! I think the girls actually eat more than the 2 ten year old boys!
So there are my 2 grocery carts over-flowing with cookies, pizzas, brownie mix, chips, nacho cheese sauce, and one rather large bag of M & M’s. And of course all THAT stuff was on top. You couldn’t see the box of Healthy Choice Soups, or the bag of frozen Tilapia, tuna, and fresh fruit I bought for myself!! She spoke, and she was really nice. She didn’t comb through my cart and start analyzing the calorie and protein content in each of these awful selections. But I can’t help but wonder if she peaked a little when I wasn’t looking. And what she must have thought!! OMG!!
I admit that I check out other people’s grocery carts when I’m in line – not to see how much hemmoroid cream they bought (EW!), but because I’m a menu planner, and I love trying new things. I like to see what other people like to eat!! I’ve gotten many dinner ideas from my subtle snooping! There I said it!! I’m a grocery cart snooper!! Do you check out other people’s grocery carts, too??
I have never realized I grocery cart snoop, but it is entirely possible that I do. SOunds like this summer is going to be crazy for you, but I know you’ll do great. Hope to see you at support group on the 12th at 7pm.
Where’s Amy? 2 months and no update.
