Grocery shopping and baked goods

[mtbc]

This afternoon I stopped at Food City, the closest grocery store. Not far beyond it is Walmart, which I've visited, and Aldi and Kroger which I've yet to (the local ones), plus maybe another I've yet to discover. I want to do enough else at the moment that I chose not to spend the extra time of visiting an unfamiliar store. It is the first time in quite a while that I have had need to go out and drive somewhere, my to-do's are largely in or around the house and will be for some time yet. Walmart are better at stock levels in general and at stocking larger sizes. Oddly, Food City was out of parchment paper, though had plenty of wax paper, aluminum foil, etc. around the empty space; I don't need more soon anyway.

As I passed on my way to get a loaf of bread, I resisted the chocolate-dipped macaroons and the glazed donuts filled with strawberry jam. Toward the end of my shopping, I discovered where this branch keeps its expiring bakery items and found both the macaroons and donuts there, substantially discounted, so I bought them anyway.
