Popped in to the local Evil Mart after work and did a wonderful job of staying on task and almost exclusively on list. I only went down the food aisles and didn’t even buy and junk food. In fact, the only impulse buy was a pound of frozen salmon. I resisted the urge to purchase a celebrity mag on the way out and was able to pay cash for my paltry purchases.
My next mission is to visit the health club should the urge arise to shop again this week.
Of course, I’ve thought of another category of allowable purchases. I like to call it the Law of Scarcity.
Emergency Shopping Scenario #4
Me: Um, how much is that?
Leprechaun: Why, it’s your lucky day! Crystal here is only seven magic beans.
Me: Well, I’m really not in the market this month…
Leprechaun: She’s a wonderfully tame Unicorn, broke for riding. Make a nice conversation piece out grazing on your lawn.
Me: I’m pretty sure I could wait…
Leprechaun: Today only I’ll throw in a Pegasus free!
Me: Sold!!
Happens all the time. In fairy tales.
