First Real Grocery Shopping Experience...Disaster

So on Wednesday I went on my first real grocery shopping trip or whatever you wanna call it. I had been a couple times before but to only pick up a few items like stuff for raspberry pie. :) YUMMY! Or I just go with my room mate to get out of the apartment. lol. Any ways so I made this huge list because I was gonna make dinner (hawaiian haystacks) for all my room mates and I didn't have any of the things I needed for it except rice. So we get to the store and the first thing we go for are the apples we just wanted some fruit. And do you think I would know which ones to buy? Even after going to the store with my mom many times but zone out. So I decided to get the Utah apples since they were the cheapest (I'm on college budget here.lol). After I decided what kind I wanted then I had to figure out which ones were good...and I had no clue how to figure out which ones were good or not. So my room mate picked out a few for me then I just grabbed some on my own. Then I look in the bag and I'm like oh that ones gross and that one too! So I took them out and got new ones so I had like three in the bag and when I put another one in the bag broke and the apples went EVERYWHERE! Down the medicine isle, across the store etc. It was so bad and of course there were people around who saw it all happen and looked at me like are you retarded? So I went around and picked them up as my room mate walks away pretending that she doesn't know me. lol. We finally carry on after the apple fiasco and I had to get vegetables and didn't know which ones were good and which ones I shouldn't get so I gave up and just picked them randomly. lol. Then I had to figure out what chicken to get and how much and size and the best and I didn't have a clue so I had to call my mom. I must of called her 5 times over the chicken. Pathetic! Then I had to find the right gravy stuff, another phone call, wasn't there, another phone call, they don't have the chicken kind, another call. haha. My poor mom but she didn't mind. She likes it when I call her. Thank you mom for the help! So about 45 minutes later we finally get out of the store. And my room mate says she never wants to go grocery shopping with me again. haha. Even though I had a hard time with this I had alot of fun at the same time because every time I was unsure of what to get or had to call my mom I laughed at myself. So that was my first grocery experience. The End.
