Grocery Shopping in My Parents' Pantry

September 28, 2009 by Julie 7 Comments

Every time I leave my parents’ house after a weekend at home, I inevitably leave with a department store bag full of food from their pantry. Fortunately they’ve come to expect this and my mom even buys duplicates of items she actually wants to remain after I leave so they’re not completely depleted of all yummy foods.

Here is a picture of my latest conquest:

Thanks Mom and Dad

Thanks Mom and Dad

I stocked up on fruit and nut bars, pasta, tea, cake mix, seasonings, cheese and more. I even made off with a super cute tea pot and some tea cups! Lucky ducky.

As if making off with a bag full of groceries isn’t good enough, my parents both sneak me money for “gas,” just like they did when I was in college despite the fact that I am 24 and have a full time job. They are well aware that they both give me money and this time my mom even said “Here you go, Sweetie. Nothing like some double dipping, huh?”  as she handed me extra money. I love that my parents will always think of me as their little girl… but then again, I always will be their little girl. 🙂

Question: What do you always leave with when you visit your parents?

    I always leave with a TON of food. My mother loves to take me to costco so I can have a ton of healthy snacks for my dorm. Usually she gives me some jeans or something too. It makes me so grateful for my mama. I think mother’s do it because we are always going to be kids in their eyes.
