Supermarket Bonanza

Going to the supermarket is a huge errand.  It not only takes time, but it requires a great deal of stamina.  First I have to make a grocery list.  I usually look in my pantry, refrigerator, and cabinets to see what I need to buy.  After I make a list, I look through the supermarket advertisement to see what is on sale.  Next, I check all of the coupons that I can use to save even more money.  When I get to the supermarket I grab a cart and begin my excursion through the store.  I always start at the produce aisle and make my way around the store until I end up in the junk food aisle.  I don't know about you, but I can NEVER pass up the junk food!  I also love to stock up on things that are non-perishable and are on sale; this way I can fill up my pantry for future use.  By the time I am done, my cart is overflowing.  Sometimes I walk out of the store with 50 bags full of food.  I never like going to the supermarket because it takes a long time and I spend way too much money.  But, I do love eating it all!!!
