the devil is in the cookie aisle
So let me clear – the reason you are NOT supposed to grocery shop when you are hungry is because when you have to go to the cookie aisle to get those little snack pack of oreos for school lunches that are on the grocery list, you have to walk past the big oreos, like the nice mint oreos. And you think, “won’t that be a treat for the week”, and maybe you’ll have just one when you get home since you truly never ever buy them because you know you like them a bit “toooo” much. Except you rip the damn bag open in the parking lot while you are loading the groceries. Three for me and one for my child so it “seems” equal, at least to her. And then when you get home, you sneak just a couple of more and then a couple after dinner, and then you stupidly poor yourself a half glass of milk (which you normally wouldn’t drink at this time of night save for the mint crackeos you purchased less than an hour ago) only to find that by the time the milk is deliciously gone so are 2 of 3 rows of mint oreos which proves my sugar induced theory that the devil LIVES in the cookie aisle of every store.
So endth the lesson. *burp*
