Sadly, since the thanksgiving holiday out-of-town, our pantry was bare. So, if I wanted grill cheese and soup for lunch, I was going to have to make a trip to the grocery store. ("dun-dun" or other menacing music inserted here) As much as a love to bake, I have tried to love the grocery store, but I just can't do it. I loathe it. No matter how much I like the food, no matter how many deals I can find, I inevitably waste time and money.

{GROCERY STORE VISIT FOR SOUP}
Soup, soup, soup... aisle with soup... Oooo look at those cute Ritz crackers with snowflakes on them! SNOWFLAKES! How festive! Everyone needs a cracker with a snowflake on it!
No, Laura, no! Stay focused! THINK SOUP and grill cheese. Just keep walking.
The festive Ritz almost had me, but I held strong... that is until I saw the holiday candles. There was an apple cinnamon, apple pie, christmas tree, peppermint, french vanilla, fresh snow, fresh fir.... And I sniffed everyone thinking holiday thoughts, thinking how each one would bring such holiday cheer into my home.
SNAP OUT OF IT, LAURA! THINK SOUP! PUT THE CANDLE DOWN.
As I set down the candle, suddenly it was as if the holiday aisle was calling out my name. I just had to know what hidden treasure was on the holiday aisle that I could not live without. I was a lost cause. Finally, after talking myself out of glass bottle cokes and egg nog, I made it to the soup where I promptly rewarded myself by also picking up some Salt & Vinegar chips... Here you go, Laura, these are for going to the grocery store and not wasting money on things you don't need! (like these chips)
Needless to say, I survived without doing
