There are tons of perks to still living at home while you’re a student (cons, too, but that’s another story). One of them is that food seems to magically appear out of thin air. In this case, “thin air” is my mom every Friday morning. This week, I tagged along. Here are 5 thoughts I had while we shopped for our family of four.
1. Where did my mom go?
She was here just a second ago….2. I'm starving.
Brownies? Chicken nuggets? Ice cream? WE NEED THREE OF EACH.
3. I can't believe how expensive that is.
What am I, made of money?4. There are too many options here.
No one needs 10 variations of Oreo cookies. Keep it classic. (Don’t @ me.)5. Wow, this is a lot of work.
Living at home, you don’t realize how much it takes to grocery shop for an entire family every week. Thanks, ma. I see you.I was going to say that this post should show us to appreciate the little things, but being fed three times a day isn’t a little thing. It’s easy to take all of this for granted, and it’s also incredibly privileged to have 10 variations of Oreos - you see where I’m going with this.
All I’m saying is, we should remember how lucky we are to have the things we have. (Tiny rant over. Go tell someone you appreciate them.)
