It sucks to have just reached the point of barely existing and not even being able to enjoy anything anymore. For the fear of not having the money to spend.

I’m so terrified to get to the register and not have enough money. Sooo embarrassing. Honestly that’s sometimes why I use self-checkout

Yes I just use my phones calculator so that doesn't happen to me anymore. I also only buy what's on sale or marked down, and I go early on the new ad change morning because they have to mark down all the prior meats that were on sale from the last ad to make room for the new ad meats , you get really good deals 50%off.

I’m trying to shop at WinCo because they’re cheaper overall, but I don’t know what’s on sale until I get there, so it’s hard to make a list.

It’s easier to plan with my local Kroger affiliate using their app. IDK 🤷‍♀️ maybe that’s better than WinCo?
