My family husband is a junk food junkie. Our grocery list routinely states “Candy for Randy”.
It is like a staple at the top of the list: Milk, eggs, butter, candy.
I always feel a little odd when the cashier unearths these items. Hidden under a mass of nutrition from the other end of the spectrum: Organic, organic, milk, milk, milk, organic, produce, produce, orange slices, sour cherry balls, anise dolls, organic, organic, produce… I try to avoid eye contact.
Then there is the immediate foraging for snacks upon entering the door after a long days work. After a quick greeting it is straight for the chips!
He will easily consume an entire bag in one sitting, before dinner. We -he- was going through three or four bags of potato chips a week. Concerned this may not be the ideal choice, I switched his snacking from conventional greasy potato chips to organic tortilla chips. Still not exactly healthy, but better I thought. This was the routine for several months.
Now I have reached the point where I am tired of spending the nearly $3.00 per bag and sick of throwing all those bags away. Think of all the money and waste we would save by making our own snacks!
