Not our groceries!
I was going through our pile of receipts for the week (I'm old fashioned and having tried it several times unsuccessfully and then worked in the industry, I don't trust the "online downloading and auto-balancing" features of most financial software programs - they just don't do it right for me) and was updating our finances on the computer when I came across the following receipt from QFC:
3 Musketeer - 3.49
Tot Piz Roll - 4.19
Hst Cupckes - 1.19
Plntr Peanut - 3.39
3Musktr Cndy - 0.65
3Musktr Cndy - 0.65
3Musktr Cndy - 0.65
Host Zingers - 1.19
Milk - 2.50
Although it's the only healthy thing on the receipt, I am guessing the sole purpose of the milk is to wash down the Totino's Pizza rolls, the three 3 Musketeer chocolate bars, the bag of 3 Musketeer candy, and the packages of Hostess Cupcakes and Zingers. Peanuts and milk don't really go together so I'm betting he already had beer at home to go with those.
Not exactly sure how this receipt ended up in our possession since it's nothing we'd buy, and the debit card # doesn't match one of ours, but I'm getting a very clear mental image of the real purchaser of all this "food" ;-) And yes - I said "he", because in my many many years of observing the contents of men's grocery carts vs women's grocery carts in the checkout line at the grocery store, time and time again I see my theory that women are healthier food buyers than men proven true. That's not to say that women actually EAT healthier than men, or that women don't just go home and closet binge on the junk food that their male housemates have purchased... I'm just saying the stuff the women actually BUY tends to be more wholesome ;-)
Hmm... I could really go for something sweet right about now. Wonder why that is...
Unfortunately Tim's decided to be a positive influence on me, his pregnant wife, and has eliminated all the "bad-for-us" stuff from our cupboards (or he's just really good at hiding it. Either way, it's effective ;-)). I guess I'll settle for a glass of water. ;-)
