I do most of the grocery shopping and do well enough for the most part, but there are exceptions.
I purchased French Coffee because it was on sale. Right now, I am glad that I don't live in France. I don't normally put sugar in my coffee, but even with sugar, this coffee is too bitter for me. Live and learn . . . perhaps.
We tried
Chapmans Premium ice cream,
Chocolate with Salty Caramel & Peanuts. It was quite special. After finishing the container, I carefully chose it again on my next shopping outing. When it was time to treat ourselves to a dish, I discovered that I had picked up
Butter Pecan instead. It was very good but not what I wanted. I do this too often, reach for one item but look away and grab the wrong one. It's a silly habit that has sometimes led to very weird things in my shopping cart.
Bought some brats for the bbq. Cooked them, took a bite and found my mouth aflame. I did consume a few but passed the rest on to JJ who likes things spicy. I don't mind a bit of heat, so I tolerated it to some extent, but my spicy wife doesn't like spicy food, so off half of the sausages went to my grandson.
The final item isn't shopping related, but I didn't expect to have to put on the heater to warm up the bathroom sufficiently for a shower in the middle of June. It really is disappointing for the mid-year shower that I look forward to every year. I will now have to live in anticipation of my annual autumn shower. :)
What an interesting ice cream dilemma. And ice for your quarterly bath as well! I usually have the "slide to the side for the wrong thing" happen with words. The other day I clearly said the yard was being vacuumed, rather than mowed, when talking on the phone. I had absolutely no idea where that came from, and said so, since I heard myself say it. Sometimes I don't even hear it, and people say something back to bring my attention to it. Friends must be used to it by now.
ReplyDeleteYeahhhh I have done that at the store too. You are right, a bit disappointing. Coffee is so expensive here that buying anything but the least expensive is out of the question. However, last year when I heard coffee was going up in price I did stock up on the brand I like. No spicy for me but Mr. M. loves spicy hot.
