Strange Orange Fruit

Seven Royal Questions on Tuesdays

The Grocery Store Meme (#77)

The last time I went grocery shopping I came home with way too much chocolate. It wasn't supposed to be that way. I went for mangoes. But the chocolate kept calling my name.

Let's see what kind of trouble I can find in the grocery store today.

You can play along at The Queen's Meme, written by Yours Truly.

1. Do you make a list when you go grocery shopping?

It said MANGOES

I somehow read "Hersheys"

Don't they look the same to you?

2. Do you buy more groceries when you're hungry?

Never ever ever EVER go to the grocery store when you're hungry. You will suddenly acquire cravings for the strangest items you never ate before.

What ARE those things? I came home with 3 bags of this strange orange fruit

3. Coupons. Use 'em?

 I handed it to the cute checkout clerk but he said it was unredeemable unless I was of royal blood.

Fine day to forget my crown.

4. Have you ever complained to the manager of your grocery store?

 I asked for a raincheck for the massage.  I swear I heard him mutter "You need a braincheck" as I prissed away. 

The nerve! 

5. Do you like to buy groceries at huge chain stores like WalMart? Or do you shop exclusively at food stores?

I go to the Tire Store to buy tires.

I go to the Hair Salon to get a haircut.

I go to the Nail Salon to get a manicure.

I go to the gas station to buy gas. 

I go to the doctor when I'm sick.

WHY would I go to a Wally World to buy my FOOD?

A person like that might actually go to the grocery store to get a massage. 

I try to steer clear of those people.

6.  How much time do you spend reading labels in the grocery store?

TOO MUCH TIME. Yes. I read them. All of them.

There I stand with my magnifying specs on cause Lord knows ordinary people (not that I'm ordinary) can read a blasted thing on those labels. And that IS the point, now isn't it?

By the time you decipher the calorie and salt content your ice cream has defrosted and the milk has expired.

7. Do you push your own grocery cart to the car and return it?

No. I pull mine to the car. Don't you? Return it? Returning a grocery cart takes the same amount of time as walking to Cambodia.  I have no time for this!!!

(But seriously..I actually drive around to the front and they load my groceries in the car for me. No kidding. All you have to do is ask.)

8. What is the one food item you always buy at the grocery store that you can't live without?

See #2 above

It's my only vice.
