I just bought $322.88 worth of groceries... what did I forget to buy??

[SoCalDem]

When I got there I realized I had left my list at home..

I know I forgot to buy avocados.. but I did remember to buy shrimp cocktail sauce :)

[madinmaryland]

You went before eating.

Never go shopping on an empty stomach!!

[Sabriel]

1. Obviously, diapers

It would be closer to $400 if you had.

[obreaslan]

2. shrimp?

[Pacifist Patriot]

3. I hate it when I do that.

[LuminousX]

4. I bet...

you bought dinner rolls and you will forget to put them on the table when dinnertime comes.

[Placebo]

5. Wouldn't you have rather bought an iPod with that money?

Or if you already have an iPod, buy it a boyfriend/girlfriend. :P

[SoCalDem]

9. Bah!!! I have no interest in ipods.. The last music I bought was in 1968

:)

[tk2kewl]

6. I heard that some company is developing

a shoping cart that you can email your grocery list to.

[SoCalDem]

12. I would like to have a shopper, or at least have it delivered.

I am a LAZY person.. There are bags full of the canned goods atill in the trunk..waiting for my husband to come home & help carry it in:)

[tk2kewl]

14. we've got that in nyc

[autorank]

7. Sterno, no Thanks Giving is complete without it.

[dr.strangelove]

8. BACON!!!

Did you forget the Bacon.

[SoCalDem]

10. I refuse to pay what they are charging for bacon these days.

$3.99 for a 12 oz pkg..:grr:

I wait for it to go on sale, and then stock up.. This is the same damned bacon that I used to pay 99cents for a 16 oz pkg..

It's not good for us anyway:).. But I do love a BLT:cry:

[dr.strangelove]

21. Bacon is good for you.

All that greesy fat help the blood slide through the veins. Just keep telling myself that while I have another BLT.

[TheMightyFavog]

11. You forgot to buy me a bottle of Jack!

a .75 will do nicley.

Hey, it's my secret BBQ sauce ingredient! I gotta have some use for the leftover turkey!

[SoCalDem]

15. We do not believe in left over turkey..

I send what;s left..home with the guests:)

When our Labs were alive, I would portion it out in baggoes, and freeze it.. Every so often I would thaw some and they would have a yummy treat.. but no more doggies:(.. and my kitties are too "above it all" to eat scraps.:)

[underpants]

13. Butter stick?

[SoCalDem]

17. Ooooh,. what a great idea

Is it real?

[underpants]

31. Yes yes it is

[ewagner]

16. Must have bought tomatoes

They are $4.29/lb here...........

[SoCalDem]

19. Yes I did.. and I just found my list..

I forgot carrots & cranberries and crackers..:) I'll stop in later tonight and get them :)

[BurtWorm]

18. Did you remember the Tidy Bowl?

Something tells me you're going to need it.

[ohiosmith]

20. Cranberries.

[HereSince1628]

22. Were those ugly black Hass Avocados or 20% less fat Florida

Slimcados?

[SoCalDem]

24. Haas avocados are the ONLY kind to buy :)

unless they on a tree in your yard for free..then any kind will do.. alas I have no tree of my own :(

[queeg]

23. Ammo for republican thanksgiving-- NT

[On the Road]

25. $322? Woah -- What Did You NOT Forget to Buy?

Any beluga caviar in there? Or do you have a walk-in freezer?

[SoCalDem]

27. I just keep putting off going to the store until I am out of EVERYTHING

I will probably not go again until after Christmas..

Once the 3 boys grew up and moved, I don't shop often.. We usually eat out 3 times a week, and I buy bargains and freeze for later..
Like today, tri-tips were on sale so I bought 5 of them. We have an annual potluck (actually of them) next month and I always make tri-tip, so if I waited until I needed them, they would be $5 a ppound. Today they were on sale for $2.49 a pound :)

[On the Road]

30. I Hate Food Sitting Around

so I do a lot of small shopping trips.

As far as meat goes (is that what tri-tips are?), I suggest finding a Korean supermarket like Hahn Ah Reum. There have to be some in Southern California. Fresh cuts at 30% discounts. Produce is an even better deal. Plus it's weird and wonderful.

[ZenLefty]

26. You forgot to buy the TOFURKEY!

O well, I guess it's Boca Burgers again for Thanxgiving. :9

[SoCalDem]

28. eeeeew

no thanks

[cally]

29. Why do you want avocados for Thanksgiving?

I know it's California, but avocado for Turkey Day? I always forget stuff when I shop. I call my guests and ask them to pick up the forgotten stuff if at all possible.

[SoCalDem]

32. You have to have guacamole for an appetizer

and turkey, swiss & avocado is a wonderful sandwich:)

[cally]

34. Did you buy the swiss cheese?

I love guacamole. Have you discovered the guacamole at Trader Joe's and Costco? It's mostly mashed avocadoes and so much less expensive than fresh avocadoes.

[Squeech]

33. You forgot Poland

Can't believe nobody's made that joke yet, out of 33 replies!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

35. TP

Break out the Kleenex! :)

[ZoCrowes]

36. And SPAM

It's always good to have canned meats on hand. You never know when you might need it.
