Life from a Grocery Reciept

So, it’s Pizza Tuesday and a few of us run over to The Rail for a few drinks, some pizza and talk.  I’d made a grocery run to K-Roger and was talking to the Captain about Spam in a Pack, not a can.  And that’s where the conversation grew. Meridith say’s why would you buy three of these for $1.05 each, when you could get one of these for less and eat for the week.  and “what was I thinking buying “Ground Chuck” with healthier choices out there.   And, What, I only spent $12 on 20 pounds of Purina Dog Chow, why wouldn’t I feed my dogs better.  And I thought I was just going to catch heck for the Spam.  I think I may have bought the wrong kind of biscuits too. Someone did notice the cans of mixed veggies I got, so not all is lost. I did also get a “thumbs Up” for the range feed chicken’s Brown Eggs, which by the way taste pretty darn good!  I suspect we’ll examine more of my shopping habits over the coming months.  I guess that’s why a large research group follows all my monthly purchases!
