Tastes like strawberries

You know you’re an adult when you have the ‘we have food at home’ talk with yourself in the supermarket.

Me at the supermarket: ‘must stick to the shopping list’

Also me in the supermarket: ‘ooh a marshmallow assortment gift box’

At the age of 32, I consider myself a sensible and responsible adult. (A sensible and responsible adult who genuinely considered buying a snack helmet the other day because it was on offer. A helmet…you fill with SNACKS!)

Thanks to the cost-of-living crisis, most of us are shopping for food on a tight budget – which is why I put the snack helmet down and picked up some strawberries instead. 

This will definitely fall within my budget, I thought.

So, you can imagine my horror when the strawberries went through the till and the receipt came to £117. I repeat, ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN POUNDS.

Are these famous strawberries? Grown by a famous farmer? With their own Instagram page, brand deals and thousands of followers?

I knew the increased cost of living would hit us hard. I wasn’t expecting it to hit this hard.

Sadly, these were not famous strawberries. Luckily, the price was wrong. Phew.

The cashier had accidentally put them through the till 83 times. I repeat, EIGHTY-THREE TIMES. Let’s face it, if you’re going to make a mistake at work, make it entertaining. 

The drama over (what an episode of Eat Well for Less that would have been), I hurried on out feeling like I got the deal of the century. 

Now if you don’t mind me, I’m off to become a coupon Queen.
