Why is it hard to remember ketchup?

I don't use alot of ketchup, but for the things I use it on, it is absolutely essential. I can't imagine a cheeseburger without it nor would I eat curly fries without some of that sweet red sauce. But my favorite is having my scrambled eggs with a topping of cheese, hot sauce and of course, ketchup.

I've known for a couple of weeks my ketchup was low. 3 weeks ago when I last had scrambled eggs, I made a mental note. Earlier this week when I grilled up a burger, I remarked on the shortage. 2 days ago when I popped in a serving of Wal-Mart seasoned fries, I was already beating on the bottle. But oh the humanity, I just did up a batch of sausage and eggs for breakfast and now I find myself carefully adding water to the now empty bottle just to get a taste!

I have been to the store 6 or 7 times since I noticed the lack of that tomato ambrosia. In that time, I have managed to remember to buy Thai Peanut Sauce, pink sea salt and Nuk Mom Asian fish sauce. Perhaps I was fooled by that inverted bottle sitting on the shelf with its red coating still clinging to the sides. But sadly I have failed to restock my cabinet.

Anyway the rewards this week bite Royal Canadian Moose. That is all.

  • Too much !  I would gladly share a bottle or two as our pantry has 4 of the 44 oz Heinz ketchup bottles.

    Shopping at BJ's, Costco, or Sam's will do that when you forget you already bought it last time !!!

    I've never seen the value behind those buyer's clubs. My ex insisted we belong but the only thing she ever got there worthwhile were those 10 lb bags of boneless skinless chicken thighs. Now that was value. She was a hoarder. Boy did we end up with alot of junk. 🙂

    Ah, perhaps that is why you keep forgetting things at the market ?

    We get our Columbian coffee beans and quite a few other items we regularly enjoy but still shop at multiple markets in order to find the best prices for particular items.

    @lawmfw I think its probably more why we ended up divorced. She actually lived in pathways in between the piles of stuff she couldn't throw away in her new house.

    A hoarder.  Good for you to run away then.
