Have you ever gone to the grocery store for a few items on your well-documented grocery list only to end up with a cartfull of stuff you didn't know you needed? This happens to me everytime I go. I just can't be pigeon-holed into following a structured list. I guess it's my passive-aggressive way of asserting my independent thinking and sticking it to the man. ...who that man is or why he deserves it is still under review. Anyways, for some reason I have this obsession with sour cream. I know. I'm random. But I'm always afraid that I'm going to run out and then a dish I'll want to make will be ruined or won't happen at all because the secret, marvelous ingredient of sour cream will be missing!! Oh the shock! the horror! I know. I need help.
I found myself at Kroger once again and saw the generic version of fat free sour cream and I tried to remember if I had any in my fridge. I decided that I didn't remember seeing any so I grabbed one. Once I arrived at my humble abode and opened my brand new, bottom-freezer Maytag fridge, I found to my shame that I already had TWO unopened containers of the exact same sour cream.
What would happen if I didn't stockpile the one ingredient that most people don't even like? Any advice on how to stop compulsively buying this dairy product? I seriously need some help. I need to go to the store tomorrow for a few grocery items on my carefully detailed grocery list...wish me luck!

Next time you find yourself reaching for another tub of sour cream, redirect your hand a few doors down, and grab some yogurts instead! At least you can eat those plain. (unless you eat sour cream plain . . . .and if you do, then you DO have issues!:)
Haha you are hilarious. I have that problem, usually with cream cheese. I never think I have any, and I always do. I've started freezing it and now for some reason I always remember that I have some in the freezer. Because I am weird.
Well...I think there is a 12 step program for people addicted to buying sour cream...though there is nothing for people who are addicted to eating it. So you are in luck. Maybe the solution is to write on the top of your well structured list NO SOUR CREAM PLEASE. Then when you are tempted you will have a reminder in your own handwriting that you don't need it!!! I just hate grocery shopping anymore, because then I have to cook it....if there is no food, then I don't cook, and then there are no dishes. It's a great system, Pete doen't think much of it though!
I love sour cream, and almost all dishes are better with it, and I have found myself dong the sAME THING!!! no worries!
