Hunting for Groceries

There is a saying that concludes one should not shop for food while hungry because one's attention is easily distracted. One could argue that shoppes (see also grocery store), markets and stores prey on this frailty.

I enjoy hunting for groceries because the hunter is being hunted; the preyer is the prey. There are plenty of traps set to make the experience quite sporting--whetting the appetite.

There is much to bark about. Release the hounds!!!

Success. Failure. Missed opportunity.

Back at the homestead, the hunter shares his spoils.
