    I thought I was the only one! So often I don’t get food I want because I don’t want to throw food away. Half of every loaf of bread I buy ends up in the trash.

    The other day I went to Costco, and did my standard pacing of the bakery while lamenting I couldn’t buy anything, because if I did then I would eat all three dozen cookies or a party size cake. Then I saw a normal amount of danishes, and it was like the clouds broke and a single ray of light shone on the package.

    As I was checking out the woman was like “These are 2 for 1, you can get a second package.” “No thank you, I’m good with one.” “It’s really no problem, I could send someone to go grab it.” “I will pay you more not to. I don’t need this temptation in my life.”
