My wife went grocery shopping to get enough to hold us over till the 1st of the month. All I asked for was some black roast coffee. She came home with 3 cases of soda, 2 boxes of ice cream and a gallon bucket of ice cream. I noticed my coffee wasn't there. I asked for the change so I could go get some. I was told that all of the grocery money was spent and I would "have to wait a week". Normally I wouldn't mind too much, but with being sick with an upper respiratory, and sinus infection, a piping hot cup of coffee is the only thing that makes me feel not so sick.

I have no clue why she got so much ice cream or soda. I hardly eat/drink either of them, but I typically drink at least 3 large, rocket fuel cups of coffee per day.

The first time I read this, I thought you said:

I am drinking a cup of coffee at this very moment, and almost choked :)

^^^lol!!! I took the tub, and unopened box of ice cream back and got coffee haha
That's what I would have done too! But, I have back stock of coffee. When I open the back stock....it goes on the grocery list. It's a staple that I never go without. Glad you were able to get your coffee.

Beside my workshop in the basement is a shelf that looks like we are stocking for the apocalypse. Anytime my coffee is on special, I load up! No coffee is just uncivilized. ?

I used to drink a lot of coffe: for brekfast, when getting to work, in the morning break, after lunch, in the afternoon...

Now I only drink some in the morning for breakfast, and when I'm at home with friends after lunch. But only fair-trade ground coffe made in a "Bialetti"!

Being single, I have no problems with food priorities.
Blue cheese stuffed green olives are much more important than ice cream or bread. And an orchid or a tree are more important than food. Worst case, to get that tree, I'll eat Ramen noodles for every meal for a month.

But maybe that is why I'm still single.

I can't live without caffeine. Lately I'm on a energy drink kick to get my caffeine, 2 monsters a day. Coffee would be cheaper.

I love coffee- can’t drink the energy drinks. I don’t like the smell. Also single- I spend it how I want :)
