Gross-eries

Last night was "no coupon Thursday" at Shop 'n Save. We don't miss it at our house. I refuse to cut out a million little coupons, so this is the only way I can consistently get money off at the grocery store--an automatic $10 off if you spend $50. I didn't get there until 10:30 because I forgot it was Thursday, but there was a lady there in her velcro rollers and slippers. No kidding. I guess she forgot too. Apparently she thought she'd be the only one there at that hour. Not so. She glared at me as I passed her. I'm pretty sure I wasn't laughing out loud. I guess she was just mad that I was there. There was also a dad and his son there trying to shop from the mom's list. After discovering that neither of them had brought their cell phones, they had to ask me for help. They said I looked like a professional shopper. I think that means mom--ponytail, no makeup, flip flops. I'm thinking the other lady might have looked even more "professional" than me. I was thinking of asking her about how to get mold out of my shower tiles, but I refrained. She just looked like she would know. Anyway, the list said "choch chips." I know there's not a 2nd "h" in chocolate, but really... They were saying, "choke chips?" "choochoo chips?" I'm pretty sure even my husband could have figured that one out. Boys...

So I was on a mission to find some sort of goldfish cracker-type snack that doesn't have yellow dye. Big Sissy has an intolerance that gives her "diaper rash." She doesn't wear diapers now, but that sounds better than alternative ways of describing it. Anyway...I didn't find the organic ones my sister suggested, but I found some other really gross things. I'm not a health nut. I love snacking, but I do have a sense of what is healthy. I know you really should eat whole foods the way God created them. Processed foods are bad. Lots of fat is bad. Some of the things I saw tonight were just gross. Let's take over-processed food and make it even worse. Some examples are macaroni & cheese-flavored crackers and Burger King french fries/ketchup-flavored potato chips. Gross!!! That makes mac & cheese and french fries look like health food. At least they've only been processed once! What are the grossest things you've seen at the store?
