It never fails.
I leave my house and make the 7 minute drive to Target, memorizing my short list of things to get along the way. I only need a few things, of course, so I forgo the buggy and grab a basket. I toss in a dress (not on the list, but today was payday so…), and get the toiletries on my list. Then I make my requisite circle through the food section. Fresh fruit and some sides for a cookout, not on the list but totally acceptable. Then it’s flower fertilizer (???), ArmourAll wipes for my car, a random salad bowl on sale (I don’t even eat salad), and a few other miscellaneous items that most definitely were not on the list. I’m about to break a sweat lugging my overflowing basket while carrying the salad bowl and my purse on the other arm, so I head to the checkout.
$93 later, all I can think is, “thank GOD I didn’t get a buggy!!”
