This is how it is in my house. If I don't buy shirt, my family doesn't ask for it and we do without it. When I do buy it, count on it being gone in a day or two. It's weird how the cookies, ice cream and chips all disappear faster than everything else, but buy healthy food, it gets spoiled far more often than I'd like. Old habits die hard.I definitely don’t mean it like that. I just mean that I live alone and when there’s booze here, I will have a drink or 3 mostly every night. When there’s no booze here, I never drink. I’m the same way with snacks. I try not to buy them because again, I’m the only one here and therefore they’ll be eaten within 3-4 days.
My mom can have cookies in the house and they’ll sit there for weeks. Not me. I’m like oooohh there’s good stuff in the house let’s get some regularly until it’s gone. I’m sure there’s some buried psychological reason but whatever. I just don’t buy it because I’m more prone to drinking more often.
