A Happy Family

The couple got married and now had two kids- a boy and a girl to look after. Patrick was the sole breadwinner of the family now. He was facing a hard time in fulfilling all his kids’ demands and wishes. As they couldn’t afford over-spending. The couple was unable to save a single penny at the end of the month.

A Family To Feed

Patrick never told this to anyone but his wife, Whitney did understand why he denied breakfast. It’s because he tried to save as much as possible to use it to fulfill his kids’ wishes. He had a long list of household expenses such as diapers, car payments, gas, and toiletries, and this was keeping the basic food expenses aside. Patrick was still happy with his life and was certain that everything will work out as planned soon.

Grocery Shopping

So, the end of the month was near and Patrick had a little balance left in his salary account. He thought of buying some of the necessary groceries from a near Walmart store. As always he made a list of the things he had on his mind before heading out of the home. In this way, he can calculate easily how much he is going to spend.

Little did Patrick know he would be least concerned about his own purchases but will be offended by an old couple’s selfish actions. 

Tempting Red Grapes

Patrick himself is a fitness freak and always tells his kids the importance of eating healthy and stay fit. So, he looked at the red grapes and thought he can give his kids a healthy treat. After doing a little calculation in his head, Patrick was overwhelmed that he had enough money left on him to buy the grapes. Although, this happiness wasn’t going to last for too long.

Getting Antsy

There were more people entering the store and Patrick wanted to leave early from there. He quickly gathered all the essentials and walked towards the cash counter. While he was trying to make his way towards an empty counter there was all sort of people on his way. A couple of ladies talking, their kids running here and there picking their favorites and insisting on buying it.

A Couple In Front

Patrick tried to be quick but an old couple made their way to the counter before him. And the wait was going to be long enough as the couple had two huge carts full of items they were going to get billed. Patrick wondered if they ever thought of making a list or not.
