Ranting and Raving

Went grocery shopping today. I hate grocery shopping. It seems and odd thing to hate doesn't it. Not one of those more often hated household chores like laundry, or dishes or cleaning the bathroom (none of which by the way to I really like either).

I used to like grocery shopping. I'd always by myself some kind of little treat, cookies, or fancy cheese. And lets face it. I love to eat therefore the place where I buy the food that allows me to eat delicious meals well c'mon, should be a fun place to go. Not anymore.

I think this is due to my status as a single woman living alone (the living alone thing more so then the single thing). Add this to the fact that my refrigeration unit is about 1.5' x 3'. and the teeny tiny freezer inside this "fridge" is literally about 4" x 8", well I can't freeze much more then 4 chicken breasts at a time.

So storage is clearly a problem...

But then one would think that I could just buy less, and therefore storage would not be such a problem.

Yes, one would think.

Clearly the grocery store folks are thinking of families more so then single women. You can't buy small portions of much. I can't eat carrots, celery or lettuce fast enough. I end up throwing out at least half. And today I got so angry in the dairy isle trying to buy eggs. A dozen eggs is a lot of eggs, for just one girl, so I try to buy them by the half dozen or 8. However today I bought the dozen because for God knows why the half dozen eggs were only $0.30 cheaper then the dozen.

How does that make any sense at all?

Oh and! Since I'm going home for the weekend I only bought the essentials, as in, milk, bread, margarine, eggs, and tomatoes and I got 4 plastic bags. That's right 4 bags for 5 items. Usually I bring my own bags, being environmentally inclined. Bah!

So now I have a dozen eggs...I guess I'll have to have someone over for breakfast, now where will I ever find a breakfast partner?

On a happier note. I also went to Zellers and got lots of 1/2 price Easter chocolate....so much that now my tummy hurts a little, so maybe not that much of a happier note. Gonna get some tea...tea always helps.
