Grocery Shopping is Bad for My Wallet (and now even more)

OK, I might be the only one doing this but each time that I go grocery shopping I can't help myself from "converting" the money that I end up spending in stupid groceries into Jcrew items that I could have bought instead. Two gallons of milk, one salad, three tomatoes, some cheddar cheese, a bag of apples = $35. That's insane, especially if you think that all that you put in your shopping cart will last about two days, while a Jcrew cardigan on sale for the same price if not less will last ... well, at least one season. Now, I know that the reasoning of grown-up, responsible people (see my husband) is: because groceries are so expensive, but necessary, you have to save in other unnecessary departements, like clothes. But on me grocery shopping has the opposite effect. Each time that I take out my credit card to pay at the supermarket I think: this is so not worth it compared to all those Jcrew beauties that are on sale now for a third of this.
I'm actaully eating that Michelle cardigan that I left behind for $14.99. So I generally leave the Food Emporium eager to spend the equivalent at Jcrew, especially if there is something that I'm coveting and is on sale. Food Emporium, you are the biggest enabler of all.
What saved me so far is that Jcrew is too far from the supermarket and the bags generally too heavy and by the time that I drop the bags at home, life catches up on me and I make peace with the Food Emporium.

So it's with a mix of excitment and fear that yesterday, as I stepped out of the Food Emporium with my load of $50 groceries, I saw the sign of a new store opening soon on the opposite side of the street. Something in the green colors was very familiar. You have guessed, it's a new Jcrew store, the first Crewcuts store in the city to be exact. And it's opening. Just in front of my Food Emporium. So, I'm bracing myself for some serious damage to come as my daughter, as you know, has just reached the age to wear Crewcuts.

Am I the only one out there thinking like this? Please come out and share (I won't tell your significant other what your secret thoughts are!)
