Grocery gopher

Grocery shopping is a little different nowadays. Tresa would sniff something and we skip that item. I don't think she even went into the meat section at all. I went and bought some chicken to cook for dinner. Turkey and chicken meat seemed to offend Tresa the least. We've been eating a lot of pizza lately. Not sure when it started or why that is. But it's something that Tresa finds comfort eating. Comfort food, you know like Nibs, twizzlers, what else, oh ya, Butterfingers, chocolate covered almonds, stuff like that.

The odd thing was we were in the fruits and veggies section of the No-Frills near our house and she got a bag of mixed salad. I'm thinking. We have a ton of lettuce in our backyard. Why did she buy this bag? She said she saw the grated carrots and had to have it.

Do you ever get into a grocery lineup and wait and it's moving pretty quickly, then there's a holdup because of some person requires a price check on an item or the paper ran out. And you look to see who they are and you think. The other checkout lines is moving we could've been in that line and be on our way home by now. DAMN YOU for wasting my life away in this god forsaken queue.

Just an FYI that person causing the delay is us. We have a habit of lining up and then realizing we had forgotten something, that's when we do the "Price check on #7" delay. Usually I get told to "Hold On" and I look at the clerk with a glazed look in my eyes, because it's better than looking around and having people shoot laser beams from their eyes at me. Tresa seems to wear clothes made of lead, cause she's immune to it. So in this case, I did the running and looking for the packs of gum or popsicles or whatever we forgot.

I headed to the gum isle and I looked and looked, the isle was ransacked. I sort of felt like I was Indian Jones looking for eye of Annubis. Nothing, I thought. It's got to be here. I know it. Then I found one! I brought back fire cinnamon flavour, thinking doubtfully she's not going to want this. She looked at it. She didn't even need to sniff it. It was wrapped in plastic and sealed. No air can escape. No smell, nothing. How can she know she won't like it.? I came back to the checkout 2 or 3 times because the flavour of gum I brought back would make her gag. There was no more. I had nothing. I felt like a failure. I was on a mission and I HAD FAILED to GET GUM. Oh well.

She said she'd get the gum tomorrow.

But we did manage to get some Halloween candy and bananas, no more apples still have 5-1/4 bags of courtland, golden delicious...what else, mutsu. I don't know anymore apples are apples. I haven't seen the Nibs package open yet. Good sign. The waiting game is on. One of us will cave in. I just don't know if it'll be me, Tresa or the kid's cravings.
