Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for September 04, 2023

story of my life

You always forget that one item you were looking for. I’ll have to get that container of trail mix tomorrow.

Been there, done that.

We all have done that many, many times!

Eat first. Shop later !

I’m glad it’s not just me!

So typical.

I even do this when I have a LIST to look at.

Technically, there were two things he forgot to buy.

He forgot to buy a pack of gum .. and .. a pair of pants.

Done that, Been There

Who can afford a pack of gum these days?

Would make more sense if the groceries were at home instead of still at the store.

Join the club Zig

That’s me.

The most expensive vehicle you’ll ever drive is a shopping cart at Costco!

I don’t ever forget what I went into target for; I remember it when I get home;)

I have had that happen, but it was mostly due to poor stocking. They did not have what I went to the market for. I made the trip so I should buy something?

Shortly after we were married, (1977), we were moving into a new apartment and realized we didn’t have a wastebasket. My went to Montgomery Ward to get one. She came back with a microwave oven. And no wastebasket. This basic kind of peculiarity showed up occasionally over the next 46 years.

Next time Zig, remember to stick with the gum.

I (almost) resemble today’s comic.

the almost is that at least I have pants

Hoo-boy! This cartoonist has been spying on me!

Done that. Worse go in empty tummy.

Those sale pitches will get you every time.

Love it! Thanks for the repeat. The classics like this are well worth seeing again.

one Thanksgiving my ex sent me to store for some more thyme, and took my 2 grandsons with me, 45 minutes later we were back, spent $50+ and forgot the thyme

Next time make a list and follow it.

After reading that, boy do I feel like a Ziggy!…

I’m not forgetful. My problem is that I add items to my shopping list as I think of what I need to buy, without considering where those items are in the store. I TRY to scan the whole list while I’m pushing the cart around, but sometimes I end up at one end of the store and the last thing on the list is at the OTHER end, so I just decide to do without it until my next shopping trip. (I shop at a large store, so it is quite a hike from one end to the other.)

I luv ziggy but as you get older this isnt all that funny

I luv the ziggy but truth is as you get older this aint funny anymore. Or worse I go in with three things on the list and buy 35

Saw that all the time when I was a cashier at Walmart.

I once went in a Dollar General to get two items but I think they had a minimum purchase requirement so I got two other items. Somehow I left the store with the additional items and left the first pair. The cashier should have somehow made sure I got both bags. I was on a long trip and didn’t realize until I got home.

I just bought a gallon of milk. It was the cheapest one I’ve bought in a long time, only $17. Usually runs me more than $50.
