I did my grocery shopping for this week on Monday. Not my best shopping trip ever, but I missed the weekend specials. I was sick, and nothing was urgent enough to share my germs and agony with fellow shoppers. Monday is not my favorite day for shopping. Weekend specials tend to clear the shelves of…
