Hello again! Liv and I went out on Sunday afternoon and did this week’s grocery haul. We waited until late afternoon which helped tremendously with time and people rage. Is that a thing for you too? I hate being out with all of the crazies, trying to get what we need for the week and people are standing about having family reunions and get together’s in the aisles. It makes me want to hurt people. GO HOME. Sit on your porch and gab. Or your living room. Anywhere that’s not a grocery store aisle. Please.
When we got home, I completely forgot my promise that I would take photos of all the food for you. One time does not make a habit, does it? Hopefully I’ll remember next week.
We ended up having to make two grocery store stops. Another thing that seriously gets me bent from shopping on a Sunday, is the supply available. Wal-Mart is especially bad in our town. There was not ONE single bag of Great Value plain potato chips in the entire store. Not the red kind, or the yellow kind or the blue kind.
Since we needed to run into Food Lion anyway to keep up with Denton’s need for Coke Zero and they were on sale there, (I am completely content with Diet Dr. Pepper at the moment) I just switched chips to my Food Lion list. Don’t you make separate, detailed list’s for each grocery store too? I know, I’m a weirdo.
While I have you held captive with my ranting for the day, let’s talk about store stocker’s, shall we? My brother worked for a grocery chain for years in his previous work life and he started out as a night stocker in high school. A NIGHT stocker. When did stores stop doing this? I know, I know, I just got through whining about my Wal-Mart not having chips out on the shelf for me to purchase, but for all that’s good and holy this is only adding to the chaos. You can walk into any grocery store in my surrounding area at any time of day and there are workers with giant pallets on those pull along things blocking aisles all throughout the stores. Why aren’t they doing this at night, when most people are home asleep, instead of the prime shopping time for little old ladies who are trying to navigate this mine field?
Here’s a list of all the things Tracie has complained about today:
- People
- Store supplies
- Store stockers
- I’m sure I’m missing something……
Okay, I’ll hush now. Onto what we spent this week, so far……
Wal-Mart:
One of the perils of Liv shopping with me is additional items in the basket that are not food related. I’ll gladly buy them though, just to be able to spend a couple of hours, uninterrupted with her.
