I went grocery shopping to 2 stores on the other side of town which I haven't been to in over 5 months, and I bought *all* the goodies.
Overheard; another customer asking a store employee:
"If I were canned corn, where would I be?"
Came home with:
A chocolate-glazed donut (and it was fresh, not stale like sometimes happens!), 4 different kinds of vegan chocolate chip cookies, lemon poppy mini-muffins (they are fresh, not stale!), 3 kinds of popsickles, lime-zest corn chips, strawberry & mango yogurt drinks, ginger-pear drink, berries, berries, more berries, starfruit,...
I keep telling myself that I don't need to buy any other kinds of vegan margarine or butter, as I've found 2 that taste great, better than all the rest, and I only want to buy them from now on. But I keep finding new ones that I'm curious to try. The one I got today is the same brand as one of my 2 faves, but a more spreadable version made out of oatmilk.
.
While shopping, I hardly ever look at other people in the store. My focus is on the food (or occasionally on other things that catch my attention*). Other people are basically obstacles to avoid. But now with Covid, it's even worse. Every time I pass someone in the aisles, I feel an obligation to avert my head to avoid any chance of breathing on them, even through the facemask.
*like the swirling rolling waves of cloudy mist above an open-top refrigerated display case.
