What would you do?

I was grocery shopping today at Kroger. As I walked down the chip/soda aisle I passed a woman who was trying to get the lid off of a can of Pringles. I thought to myself "hmmmm, wonder why she is doing that. Is she trying to see if they are sealed?" As I walked over to the dairy section I continued to watch her as she took out a chip and ate it? WTH?! I thought. She stood there a little while, holding the can, as if she was trying to decide if she liked that particular flavor. I suppose she decided they were worth the dollar as she placed the can in her basket. But, wait...she wasn't finished. I guess she decided she didn't actually want to purchase the can that already had a chip missing, so she put it back on the shelf and got another (leaving this one intact.) Can you imagine? I wanted to say something sooooo bad. The only reason I didn't is because she was an elderly woman. I suppose I should have told someone in the store but I was so stunned!

Last week when I was in Walgreens shopping one of the other customers struck up a conversation with me. She told me that when she was shopping at Sellers Brothers (another grocery store) that there were customers in the store that were swapping the large or extra large eggs out with the medium eggs that were on sale that week. She said, "Now I nose how other people are keeping ahead!" Geez, who knew the groceries we buy were so manhandled! I really can only imagine how difficult things must be for those who are surviving on social security alone. Makes my heart break!

On a happier note...I got carded today! Isn't that so cool! Well, it turns out that they card at Kroger if they think you are not over 40, but still...I told the cashier he could be my new best friend!

Until next time...
