it's getting hard to get out of a grocery store for les than 50 dollars anymore!

[Smurfy]

Getting approached in a parking lot is never a good thing. They either want money or you're about to get jacked. I always tell my wife that if she sees someone suspicious and no peeps around, just go back inside or get an escort if needed.

Yeah I am definitely hyper-aware of situations like that. Ive been trained to identify potential risky situations - but as I get older I find myself more anxious and even a little bit paranoid at times. Good thing I dont express my nervousness outwardly. I appear confident and strong even if Im pissing in my panties.

I also try not to stereotype but it happens.

chopped pineapple (on special), grapes, bananas, green onions, 2 large yogurt, salad, ground beef, mega pack of chicken breasts, 2 boxes of lamb burgers, 2 bags of fries, 4 bottles of pasta sauce, tuna, 2 large & 2 small packs of fresh pasta, president's choice "memories of singapore" sauce, giant jug of cranberry juice, frozen oj, frozen berry juice, jamaican patties, havarti cheese, jam, large box of waffles, organic raisin bran, eggs, milk, large bag of jasmine rice, box of herbal tea, 12 grain bread, raisin bread, stove scrubbers, potatoes, pepper sauce, 6 tiger malt, apple crumble pie.

where did that fifty dollar bill go???

i bought just a few items.....no fat yogurt, smoked turkey, coffee, splenda, tea bags, budget gourmet frozen dinners....

all i had left was some loose change.....

Well, duh, I bet even your coffee was gourmet.

I walked out of WalMart today, where I bought a baby bathtub. Anyway, some IDIOT hopped in his truck and backed up really fast without looking. I had to jump out of the way. He came about 3 inches of running me over.

community brand dark roast coffee. a local brand....more expensive than that hills bro crap, but hardly a hi end brand.

those who have spent time here will know the brand....dark, smooth, rich in flavor......

Eating healthy is far more expensive than eating those junk foods and convenience foods it seems. Maybe that is why poverty and obesity are correlated.

i have three kids. . .we don't get out of the grocery store for less than $150. . .

 

[Arabian]

Agreed and God help me if I go hungry, I buy the whole store....

!!!! I would have been all over that. Some guy did that to my sister with her newborn and I totally flipped out on him. My temper is not one of my finer qualities. I guess it wouldn't have been as bad if he didn't jump out of his car and cop an attitude.

Honestly, it scared the crap out of me. Why people decide to do 50 miles an hour through a parking lot or back up without looking is beyond me. I'm ultra careful in parking lots.

This guy was so dumb that he never even realized he nearly ran over a pregnant woman.

I'm just glad you were aware and avoided it. I am really protective of my wife and kids. I like to go with the wife on small trips like that just for safety reasons.
