Venturing---last stop of the day.

   I left the cemetery and decided to see what the Shop N Save had to offer. The other day, when cooking something, I noticed I was low on flour. I don't bake much any more, or at all, but I thought I would pick up some anyway. I was surprised to see that the flour shelves  were  bare, stripped of product in the same manner as the toilet paper, Kleenex and paper towel aisles. The sign on the shelf said "One to A Customer" but the sign sat alone.
   I like Sprite and usually buy the cartons of cans. The only Sprite left were 2 of the plastic bottle packs so I bought one.
   I had downloaded a $3.00 coupon for Ensure. I drink only the Coffee Latte, and there were none of those. A quick look into Walgreen's was the same; they had no Ensure at all.
   The bread aisles were mostly empty. The meat counter the same. I didn't need either, but I spotted a package of Hannaford Hot Cross Buns.  I bought a pack, hoping they would be at least as good as Price Chopper's. I've had 2 packages of those this Lent, and, though not as good as Entennmen's, I enjoyed them anyway. As I was walking down the aisle, I spotted what I had thought was not available any more---a box of Entennmen's Hot Cross Buns. I was going to get them, but I  already had the store brand in my cart, so I passed, thinking maybe next time. The store brand was $3.49 and the Entennmen's $6.99, and besides I know they are high calorie, which should rule them out altogether in my case.
   Not unforeseen, but I was soon to regret my decision. The Hannaford buns look appealing, and they have plenty of that ridiculously delicious white piped-on frosting, but they are soggy and, when bitten into, become a wad of soggy dough, way more so than even Price Chopper's. The worst part is I know I'll eat them anyway, and indigestion will ensue. ----Maybe I'll try toasting them...
