Why  is it that when you go to the supermarket you can’t buy what  you want? I try to avoid the inevitable visit for as long as possible but needs must, as I do only sell things that are in season and unfortunately grapes and melons are still in high demand by the younger members of our household. So I went to buy a canteloup melon. Not two melons; one melon. Could I buy one melon? Well yes if I wanted to pay more and choose a different variety. But canteloups were on buy one get one free. I DIDN’T WANT TWO….I KNEW WE WOULDN’T EAT TWO….and I refuse to throw food away EVEN IF IT IS APPARENTLY FREE! It’s like when you want to buy a 6 pack of little fromage frais for the one small member of the household who likes them. They sell them in packs of 12 and then do a buy one get one free, and suddenly you’ve got 24!!! You wanted 6! IT DOES MATTER that we throw the ‘free’ ones away because they’re a day beyond their ridiculously short use by date. It’s a blatant disregard for the value and preciousness of food. I bought neither melons or fromage frais on that day and Lizzie didn’t understand why not……
