So Much for Once a Week Grocery Shopping

Jared is going to be out of town for a few days.  Today, in preparation for his absence, I took the stroller to the market to load up on food.  My plan was to buy four day's worth of fruits, vegetables, meats, and a few grains.  As I was choosing and handing the 'vegetable lady' my produce, she commented on how much I was buying.  Then, after she found out I was buying four days worth of food, she started telling every single person that approached her vegetable stand that fact.  She shared with 10 or 15 different customers about how I was so busy that I had to try and buy four days of food at once.   I guess I was trying to live as an American in Asia.  I returned successfully to our apartment with all the food, however had to have Jared come down and help once I got there.  Then I had to try to figure out where to put it all.  Our apartment is not made to store that much food.  Now, I am assuming my soup ingredients will still be good on Saturday.  I don't think I have ever shopped so far ahead here in Asia.  Guess our time in the U.S. had an effect on me.
