Day 336: Monday, October 12

Today I made my pilgrimage to the grocery store. I love Macey's purely for the fact that I never have to wait in line at the checkout counter. Truly, that is why I shop there. I always wait behind several people at Albertson's and many people at Wal-Mart, so Macey's is generally the winner. Since I already hate grocery shopping, this detail makes it a little more bearable. I just wish I could get out of there by spending less than $100! My food covered the entire counter.

I have one complaint for my shopping trip last night, however. The checker was also the bagger for this trip. I think she was trying to use as many bags as possible. She would sometimes only put 1 or 2 items in a bag. All in all, I ended up with 15 plastic bags, and that is not counting the soda and potatoes that aren't bagged! I hate plastic grocery bags, but they have handles on them unlike the paper bags. I could carry my own reuable bags, but that just takes so much effort.

After I unloaded my groceries I noticed something I had not placed in my cart:


I don't buy bagels and I definitely didn't pay for these, so now comes the age old dilemma: do I get back into my car at 9 at night, drive back to the store, and give them back, or do I just keep them? I mean, they gave them to me. I know the honest thing would be to take them back, but I so don't want to drive back there!
