However, if you do use coupons, it can get really frustrating, mostly for the guy working at the self-check area, because, being visually impaired, something kept being wrong, well not totally, but I would get the wrong size or flavor or quantity.
That man was so patient with me.
Although it was a bit frustrating, I managed to keep my equipoise as well.
Even after that, though, I feel I need more food. What is that? Is grocery shopping starting to interest me?
The game. If you can turn anything into a sort of game, like a video game or reality show, it can be more fun, one of my tricks of getting through the more mundane tasks.
I once went Black Friday shopping with my sister, you know the day after Thanksgiving, when if you are a 'normal' American you go shopping for the special day after Thanksgiving sales, mostly for Christmas presents I believe, since Christmas comes so soon after Thanksgiving or Hanukkah if you happen to be Jewish.
I was buying a lot, getting Christmas presents as well as new sheets and new boots for myself. I told my sister it was a shopping reality show and that I was winning. I was playing a pretend narrator to this pretend, reality show... hmmm, there is a paradox, pretend reality show, like pretend pretend, very rhetorical and redundant. I was saying my sister was way behind but that Leslie was winning by a long shot.
If you saw Hunger Games, which I had the good fortune to recently, you can see how creepy reality shows could be. I thought it was a good movie making a lot of statements about society and the possible downfall of the future at the rate it is going, but hopefully not.
So, I feel pretty happy with my shopping experience all in all today. Happy Spring everybody.
