yesterday i went grocery shopping
it was a case lot sale and one of the things on sale was a 12 pack of canned pears. i quite like pears and so i was humming and hawing over the purchase. $1.08 for a serving of pears? surely that’s a little too extravagant for my blood. i took a devil may care attitude and decided to buy them anyways. the cashier took forever to ring in my goods, eying the french side of the tomatoes,...
