20 year-old John: Definitely need a few loaves of bread. Love having bread with every meal.
28 year-old JR: walks past bread aisle

28 year-old JR: I’m going to lie and tell her these chicken breasts don’t have rib meat on them.
20 year-old John: Dozen Honeycrisp apples, boom. Healthy and fucking delicious.

20 year-old John: Can’t forget the ingredients to my favorite meal: pasta, vodka sauce and meatballs. A nice filling dinner that I can eat all weekend!

20 year-old John: “Uhh yeah I’m going to need some bags.”
28 year-old JR: “Hey! We brought these from home. Remove those bag charges.”
20 year-old John: Nice! Kept everything under $75 bucks
28 year-old JR: How in the everloving fuck did these five things cost almost $110?
20 year-old John: Now to speed walk half a mile home carrying all these bags while my traps feel like they’re going to explode.

Someone showed this to me the day we graduated from college and now I can’t go grocery shopping without feeling like an asshole. Enjoy!
Been to Walmart 3 times this week and Lowe’s once. I think I left bits of my soul there each time I left. #PGP
