As a college student, especially one who lives off campus, you likely know the struggle of having to buy your own groceries.

Not only do you find yourself spending a large portion of your day at the supermarket, but you also find that cooking is a chore and you’ve spent half your summer income on a week’s worth of grocery shopping.

If you consider yourself on a budget, a lousy cook, and someone who enjoys food shopping a little too much, it’s likely that you’ve had these thoughts in your local supermarket:

1. Okay, I’m here for sandwich ingredients and that is it. All I need is some turkey breast, bread, and lettuce I should be out of here in half an hour MAX.

2. I’m only going to take a basket I don’t even need a cart.

3. Okay, maybe I’ll just take a little peek at each aisle.

4. *Starts on aisle one* WOAH carrots are on sale I could definitely use some of those my hummus is about to go bad.

5. If I buy carrots, I should probably buy some other stuff for a salad also, it’s no big deal I needed lettuce regardless *puts carrots, lettuce, corn, celery, broccoli, Craisins, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, and croutons in the cart*.

6. I know those things weren’t on my list but I can eat salad for lunch or dinner it’ll be so worth it in the long run.

7. *Walks into the second aisle* cookie dough is soooo necessary.

8. Okay, this has to stop all I need is turkey and bread then I’m leaving.

9. This might just be the cutest mug I have ever seen I need it.

10. You know what would be smart of me- if I went to the frozen section and got some frozen meals.

11. *Picks up a frozen dinner* WOAH why is this so expensive I can’t afford this do they want me to starve?

12. Either this is a sign that I should learn how to cook or that I should stick to salad, canned soup, and cereal.

13. CEREAL, that’s what I forgot I need!

14. There’s a sale on cereal it would be insane if I didn’t take advantage of this deal and buy at least three boxes.

15. I did eat a lot of the cereal my housemates and I bought, they’d be so happy if I got us more.

16. Okay, cereal is a must; in the cart it goes.

17. I can’t eat cereal without milk I better go down that aisle next.

18. I. NEED. STRING CHEESE.

19. I’ll get the Weight Watchers one because I’m on a diet and what goes better with a salad than cheese sticks for dessert.... nothing *puts milk and two packages of cheese sticks in the cart*.

20. Okay, I just need bread and turkey breast, I’m already near the deli section I’ll be out in 5 minutes top.

21. Wow, I’m pretty hungry I’m going to ask to taste the turkey even though I practically eat it for every meal and know exactly what it tastes like.

22. "Hi yes would I be able to taste some turkey breast? Can I also please try some buffalo chicken? Can I just taste a small piece of roast beef this is the last one I swear.”

23. Now that I tasted so much I should probably buy them it’s only right.

24. Okay I’m going right to the bread section and then I am LEAVING.

25. The shortest way to the get to the bread section is to walk through the cosmetics section so I guess it’s justified.

26. Makeup wipes is a must have.

27. If you buy a two pack you save $.99, I’ll get that one.

28. Look at me saving money on necessities.

29. Is my shampoo low?

30. Okay no I’ll hold off on that I really need to cut back.

31. HOW HAS IT BEEN TWO HOURS?

32. I have so much homework I need to leave.

33. *Cashier says the total is $131.48* How is this even possible I don’t understand.

34. *Walks out of the store feeling guilty*.

35. I FORGOT TO GET BREAD.
