Town day in Shasta.

A few days back when Bedazzled and I were bored while walking through yet another forested slope in Northern California, I brought up the idea of buying each other’s resupply in Shasta. It would be a sort of game. We would buy unappetizing food for each other, and we would each have no option but to each it until we reached the next town. Bedazzled immediately jumped at the idea. For the next three days, she told me all the horrible things she was going to make me eat with a gleeful look in her eyes and a devilish smile. It looks like she may have been surpressing a lot of anger towards me…perhaps this wasn’t a good idea. She talked of cans of spam, cat food, and low fat and low calorie tortillas.

Well, today was finally the day. It was time to buy each other’s resupply. We grabbed carts and raced down the aisles looking for the neglected food that nobody buys. Canned beef gravy? Check. Artichoke hearts and sliced beets? Double check. Baby food? Oh yeah!

We guarded our carts from each other’s view and sped back and forth replacing items when we found better ones. Finally, the big reveal came and we both burst out laughing uncontrollably. This was going to be good and by good I mean miserable.

Bedazzled spent $78 and I spent $76 on horrible horrible food. When you’re buying it for someone else to eat, thrift goes out the window.

If this works out, there may be more food games to come!
