I'm Kicking myself today.
It's Easter Sunday in Vietnam as I write this, and I'm completely unprepared. I knew today would be Easter. I even tried a new "mandarin orange" flavored Kit-kat earlier in the week, thinking that if I liked it, I 'd go back and get the box. (They seem to be a special release thing: minis sold in a pretty gold box.)
But these days, staying in is the norm, and going out just to get one thing seems superfluous. So I waited.
And now it's Easter, and there's no chocolate in the house.
I found that there was still some nutella in the bottom of the jar, so for breakfast I spread nutella on a couple "Digestive biscuits" (I think Digestives are a British thing?). They will have to suffice for Easter chocolate.
I could have bought not just chocolate, but all kinds of goodies! Had I thought about it, I might have splurged on apples at the market when we went on Friday. Kicking myself.
I mean, I have a mango, pineapple, passion fruit. All good sweet treats, but nothing special.
Kicking myself for forgotten items when out shopping on Friday.
How are you handling shopping these days? Do you keep a continual list so that nothing is forgotten? Or do you just go out anytime you need to regardless of how much or little you are buying? Why do I feel guilty to go out for one or two things? Do you get that, too?
Well, we are not allowed here in France to go shoping everyday, except for bread of course ;) French people can't live without fresh baguette. My husband does the shopping (and cooking so he knows what to buy), and he find great to go shopping once every 2 weeks.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your mango!

Each country is different. I think Vietnam closed their borders early enough that we can be slightly relaxed. Still no gatherings. Still many guards checking if you cross a highway to see what necessity you are chasing!

I have things I will go out for and things I won't. The last grocery trip, I needed milk. That was it. I mean, I bought way more than that, but milk was what prompted the trip.
ReplyDeleteYes. There are certain things that will prompt a trip. Otherwise, we try to do a once-a-week run around - fresh market, small grocery, maybe the special grocery with western stuff. Like cheese. And sausage. Necessities. ;)
