I went grocery shopping.........

I went grocery shopping because my wife hurt her back.

And I had to make some choices.

1 lb bag baby carrots
the clerk had to point out that 12 ounce bags and 1 pound bags are not next to each other.

2 bags of bananas
I had a choice between yellow and green. I like green.

2 bags of apples
In a 5 pound bag or do I pick my own?

1 bag of oranges
She said one bag, I got two, just like the bananas and apples.

1 bunch of cilantro
Hidden, just where my wife said it would be.

10 Roma tomatoes
Are they supposed to be soft?

10 lb bag of potatoes
3 easy choices - 5lb, 10 lb and 15 lb.

Deodorant
I can recognize my deodorant.

1 small container generic ibuprofen
Anacin, Bayer, generic?

2 shopper’s value mayonnaise
After looking thru Nalleys, Best Food and Flavorite.

10 lb bag of Flavorite unbleached flour
Not bleached?

5 lb bag Bob’s Red Mill Flour
I recognized the color of the bag.

1 lb tub sour cream
I had to pass the milk and get the sour cream first.

3 - 1% milk
Green label on jug, Green label on jug.

2 -2 lb mozzarella cheese
What do you mean "over $5 a pound?"

3 (1 lb or so) pkgs lunchmeat
the 16 ounce bag at $2.38 or 6 bags of 2.5 ounces at .38 cents a piece. No calculator. (and she wanted "3" one lb packages - I need 12 more 2.5 ounce packages.)

1 pkg MD 12 Double Roll T.P.
I took a chance and picked this up before I got the milk. Had no pen to scratch my list.

1 box Electrosol dish detergent
Fresh scent or Lemon scent?

50 "Heavy Duty" plates
They don’t say "heavy duty" on the package.

7 Cascade Pride 100% whole wheat bread
Was that cracked wheat, 8 grain or stone ground whole wheat?

She said I did fine.

Honey, I hope you get better.
