essay 2 re write :)

So as I was purchasing a box of cheezits at my towns gas station which happens to be about two feet from my house I wondered if I was making the right decision. Though I really did need the snack was it necessary for me to being paying this outrageous price for a box of cheeszits. Should I have gone to the grocery store or even better on prices the supermarket?

Now going to the gas station isn’t that ritzy either. There’s usually the group of creepy drunks I see or the teenagers with there adult buying them beer of course. Or when you have to use there wonderfully clean bathrooms. Although that wonderfully clean is quite an excageration as we all know gas station bathrooms are gross. But it’s just simply impossible to resist going in and getting out of the store quickly even though you are mostly likely going to pay 5 times the amount you would be any where else.

Now of course the logical conclusion would be to go to the local grocery store to spend as little money as possible but I truely do not enjoy walking a hundred miles to get a box of cheez its. And grocery store checkout lines are always under staffed in my opinion and I end up waiting a hundred years just to check out my few items. I don’t understand why they have speedy checkout lanes because most likely there not speedy. And when you do find a line there’s usually not a bagger there to bag your items so you have to wait for the cashier to ring you up check you out and then liesurly bag your items. Yes it’s convienet for the price and not as large as a supermarket it’s still not my personal first choice.


A third conclusion would be to go to the large supermarket. I would surely save money there versus the gas station and grocery store. But do I really want to run a 5k race just to get a box of cheezits. I mean they couldn’t make those stores any bigger or they’d become there own state. And the parking is always horrendous. Usually you will have to park a mile away so by the time you do get in the store you’re already winded beyond reason. Then there’s the crowd inside you have to fight through. All those soccer moms being pushy and shovey trying to get the best deals makes me want to pull my hair out. And best of all one you do find that isle you were looking for of course in the back of the store you realize they don’t even have the box of cheez its you came for. The whole thing is a sticky mess but truly does save you the most money.


So in conclusion I have told myself that I must go to the local grocery store for a compromise to myself. Not paying a lot, or walking a lot. No more spending a ton of money when I don’t even have a ton of money really. I think that grocery stores can be good if I just go in and out and dogde all the stupid distractions. So no more paying a ton of money for a boxc of cheez its for this lazy old girl!
