Mistakes Equal Growth, Part One: Grocery Stores

Dear Newlyweds,

Don't forget to check the expiration dates BEFORE you purchase and while you are standing in the aisle at the grocery store. You may save yourself some money by not buying both of those bags of lettuce even though it's a GREAT 2 for $5 sale because--logically, there's no way you'll eat all of that spinach by it's expiration date tomorrow.

Secondly, do not EVER entertain the thought that if you are out of vegetable oil, but have a new bottle of olive oil, that the olive oil will substitute. It won't.

Thirdly, DANGER, read each product title and subtitle carefully. The second 2 for $5 great value that you found is not real cheese but imitation cheese, and no, it does not taste the same.

Please, let me make these mistakes for you.

Love,
Jaclyn
