Food Shopping - after hours!


Late night grocery shopping could be one of my favorite things to do.

I love the peacefulness of a gigantic store after a certain hour, when everyone is home, no babies crying, no pushing or cutting in line, no lady with 50 different coupons taking an exorbitant about of time, as you wait impatiently behind her, shooting rays of death in her general direction, hoping she feels the heat as they shoot past her. No cashier giving you attitude cause shes had no break in the last three hours.

All that surrounds you as you walk down the empty aisles, as wide as Montana farmlands. are shelf-stockers and in the next aisle is the hum of some form of floor cleaner. You feel almost like running with the cart as fast as you can, cause who would stop you!

I remember as a kid going shopping with my mom, we'd always be on a budget and she'd give me certain items off the list to go find, and bring to the cart. Usually it was the cereal..( which she would let me , almost always get my favorite) I would try to ride on the end of the cart.

I try to make lists when i go shopping, they dont always tend to work though...cause i shop by sight alot. Tonite i didnt go by my list at all really....I got romaine lettuce, 2 large tomatoes, Potato bread, Avacados, 2 bags of almonds, Organic Cashew Butter, Sliced Ham, a bottle of Pinot Noir, and some Coke. I love taking my time and just looking over everything. I love the hiss of the water sprinklers over the fresh produce too ;)
