    How fun! I've never even thought about it. I'm just trying to get through checkout as fast as possible. How do they know how many people you're buying food for? It seems to me that this is all in your head. I couldn't give two hoots what the cashier, or anyone else thinks. Maybe they're jealous, maybe they're having a bad day,....

    Buy what you want. I'd plan on how I'm going to budget it into my calories as I'm standing in line. A question. Do you look at other people's carts?

    Back when— tips for finding a good man. Go to the grocery store. Hang around the frozen dinners. Look for single men and check out their carts. Nothing but TV dinners? Probably single and available. Mostly twinkies and ding dongs? Probably hanging on to the last relationship, leave him alone. Mostly healthy produce? Grab him fast! Not only is he single, but he cooks!
    Lol.
    I met lots of gay guys that way.
    What does cat food and Ben & Jerry's say about me?

    It was said back then that dog food said he was loving and looking for companionship. I would say cat food says you are loving, and just a little bit independent!

    Last time I bought a box of 10,000 tampons at Costco, the cashier said, “Wow how many holes you gonna stick those in?!” and I was like “YOU SCOUNDREL!” and then I tore a leg off my rotisserie chicken and threw it at him.

    My history of hiding junk food and binge eating could fill a novel. Hey, you ever been to TWO drive-thrus for yourself and hidden the food from the first from the second cashier? Ha, ha. Good times. It’s been awhile since I did that but I still have related habits and tons of shame.

    As for me.. i hate when people look through my cart. I have to avoid wheat so that means frequently buying things marked gluten free. A lot of times I feel like people are rolling their eyes at the idea of another middle-aged SUV-driving soccer mom doing a trendy diet, especially if I happen to have a lot of veggies too but let’s face it

    hahahahah

    I don’t buy those much

    😑

    new year new me
