We spent the afternoon running more errands in McComb, MS and a trip to Aldi's.
I also wanted to stop at Dollar Tree for a few things and we stopped there first. The lights were on, but both doors were locked. No sign on the door, nothing! I don't know what happened there, but something did for them to lock the doors during business hours.
We filled the car up with gas and then drove to Aldi's. My hubby decided to sit in the car and I did a quick shop. I got everything on my list except for one item they did not have in stock. I also came home with several things NOT on my list. Those items were a chocolate bar for each of us and a bag of Zapp's "Voodoo" Potato Chips. I usually get the Jalapeno flavor to clear the sinuses, but they only had the Voodoo flavor. Plus other odds and ends. You know you can't stick to your list when grocery shopping!!
Got the car loaded up and we head out of the parking lot when the famous question hits: "What's for dinner tonight?" I told him whatever he wants--we can make hamburgers or some other kind of sandwich or he can hit Burger King or Arby's, which were both close by. He chose Arby's and we came home with Crispy Fish Sandwiches.
What did you have for dinner Saturday night? I got off from cooking both lunch and dinner with that pizza for lunch!

It's good to get off from cooking once in a while. It's Sunday here. It is 12 noon. We got up late and had brunch managing from the leftovers from night. We had a get together last night for dinner. Enough leftover to skip cooking today.
It's tough to stick to the list when grocery shopping. I would often pick up things not on list, especially if there is a good offer or bargain.

@kareng In that case, I stick to the list. My husband does the same
. Moreover, these days most of my grocery shopping are online and so no distractions of the store display.

@arunima25 I mostly stick to my list when I go alone. It is also much faster!! That's what I prefer!

I'd love to try the Voodoo chips, I like the name.
I don't recall ever seeing them, or Zapp's in general. Items change so much depending on the country even if it's still Aldi. They'd probably cost me a fortune if I were to find them online.
I only had a yogurt with protein powder and ground flaxseed for dinner.

I was happy to have a strawberry smoothie before going to sleep. It is too hot to eat a proper dinner.
