the very big grocery trip

 So I came home with just 4 bags full!

I leaned on my cart handles just a bit too much by the time I got to frozen foods. 

"What?" I exclaimed, "There are no frozen fake fish filets!"

So I got some fake chicken filets instead, though I know I've still got some of these.

I had carefully trolled through the produce dept. and stopped myself from buying everything I like...concentrating on, "can this make a meal for me, rather than a snack?"

I still returned home with two kinds of dips...and no chips or veggies to dip. So another trip is in order. I did get two kinds of salad greens, which was a goal. I gladly piled up some sweet breads for breakfasts, and frugally skipped the high cost berries. I also skipped the many bags of grapes. 

And I was headed toward the orange juice, which is on the opposite side of the store, in the back, while I'd been shopping the front. I didn't make it. The orange juice can wait 'cause someone gave me a whole bag of tiny little oranges. Did I mention this is a super store?

So unfortunately I had to do the self-check out. I was bleary eyed by then, but kept my mask on. I only had to get the manager's help twice. I've put away only the frozen things so far. Now I need to squeeze all these fresh veggies in with the ones that I already have. I keep eating the oldest first...when I go to eat. That's hard cause I'm rather tired of it by now. But it was a gift, and you know how you can't throw away gifts. (Watch me, today is the last day for a couple of these goodies!)

I have now returned from the land of the almost alive be-masked grocery shoppers.
