Nothing is worse than having to go grocery shopping when all you want to do is spend that money going out or having fun with friends. Having a budget in college is totally real and it totally sucks. You have to monitor your spending, your parents yell at you if you blow through your cash too quickly, and you have to actually be responsible. A ton of students are out of state, so it makes having a budget all more real. Let’s check out a few of the thoughts you have while going grocery shopping.
1. “Do I want a cart or a basket?”
2. “Definitely cart. Don’t want to hold a basket.”
3. “Ooooh look at that new snack. Maybe I should try it.”
4. “I really wish I was at Whole Foods but I’m a broke college student so here I am at Walmart.”
5. “Okay now it’s time to get serious.”
6. “Let’s throw some apples in there for good measure. An apple a day keeps the doctor away!”
7. “I need some salad. Fresh greens will balance out all that drinking.”
8. “My body hates me.”
9. “Do I really need all of this? I can probably only get like, half and be fine.”
10. “If I get less food, then I’ll eat less food, and then I’ll be skinnier.”
11. “I’m not going to get less food.”
12. “Why don’t they have vanilla creamer? That’s some fresh b.s.”
13. “I really wish I could buy all these ingredients and actually make something good out of them. But it takes too much time and effort.”
14. “I really want this cookie dough … but there’s a date party next week …”
15. “What kind of grocery store is out of 2% milk?”
16. “I hate Walmart.”
17. “Do I really need these toiletries? Or should I just wait until my parents come into town in a week and a half … ? I’m going to wait.”
18. “I hope my roommate lets me borrow their body wash. And shampoo. And possibly conditioner.”
19. “You know, on second thought I think I’ll get the cookie dough. YOLO and all that jazz.”
20. “Damn. Look at all that cheese. Wine night in the future?”
21. “I really have no more motivation to get fit. I mean, have you seen all this food?”
22. “No one needs this much lettuce. I’m going to put some back.”
23. “You know, I can probably put half of this stuff back and just get food at the sorority house…”
24. “I wonder what I would have to get to make one of those Tasty videos on Facebook.”
25. “Honestly I’m over this.”
26. “Where’s the cash register? I want to go home.”
27. “Oh my god the chip takes forever.”
28. “Ugh, finally I am free.”
And then right when you get home…
