Buying on Impulse

I have learned a great lesson today.  Never buy on impulse in the bush of Alaska.  I went to the AC, our little general store in King Salmon.  I just needed a gallon of Milk.  Everytime I go into the store I always walk around in the case that something I use might be on sale and I could stock up.  As I walked by the produce section which is about four feet long, I noticed that they had holiday grapes.  I don't know what variety they are or if holiday grapes is the variety but they only come out every year right before the start of the holiday season and are gone by the time the New Year starts.  I love these grapes.  They are big, juicy, seedless and just melt in your mouth.  I ate them by the tons in the lower 48.  I never expected to see them here in King Salmon.  Before my brain had a chance to kick in my stomach took over and I picked up a bag of the grapes and headed to the register.  I knew the milk was just under $11 for the gallon so I pulled out a twenty dollar bill.  Then I was told the bill was $26.15.  My little bag of holiday grapes cost me over fifteen dollars.  I felt awful all the way home at spending so much for a bag of grapes.  Then I ate one and they are delicious.  I am going to try and make them last for as long as possible.  I am savoring every grape.  But I hope that is the last time I let my stomach do the shopping.
