Shopping for the Groceries

Believe it or not I am the one who gets the groceries for my family. At first I didn't consider a very appealing job, but now I have grown to love it. Let me explain how it all started. When I got my license my father said he would get me a car if I met some conditions. I said sure, his conditions were simple. Taxi my little brother when he needs to go somewhere, drive the family home on family gatherings for the holidays, pay for your own gas, and go get the groceries. Out of all those conditions, I started out hating getting the groceries. Normally it would be taking my brother around, but that kid is just to funny. So my first real grocery shopping occured the firt week I receieved my car August 14, 2006. I went to the Safeway at Seqouia station in Redwood City and went in confident with my list. I didn't know how hard shopping for the family was. I got all the right things just the wrong type. For instance, I brought home 2% milk instead of 1% milk, I thought it was just milk and I don't care if it is skim milk. Then my next trip to the grocery store was the Safeway on woodside road. I ended up getting a little extra food not on the list and was yelled at. By my third time I almost thought nothing could go wrong, only to figure out that I was supposed to bring home wheat bread and not the white wonder bread. I thought I was pathetic and was probably the only kid unable to by food. I love food, I love the taste, how it looks, the many combinations and I just love food. At this point in life I decided to get my food right because someday I would have to get my own food. So, I went to the big kahuna, Costco. I not only tried all the samples, but I couldn't go wrong because they had exactly what I wanted. That day opened my eyes and allowed me to fully appreciate grocery shopping. Now I know alot of the people at the safeways and costco. This is helpful especially when you want the hook up for the "good stuff" that I can't attain yet. But, that is besides the point,the point is go grocerie shopping because it could be so much fun.
