A sign of growing older

A while back I was in the grocery store and thought some baked red potatoes would taste so good for dinner. I bought a bag. Today I just threw them out as they were unused and rotting.
I remember my grandfather going to the store every day and only picking up enough for the day. The next day he would want to go again. I remember thinking "what a waste!"
I had the same thought today as I threw the bag out. "What a waste!" I told my wife "I think what I should do is just buy what I need on a given day."

That's when it hit me. I have found the path my grandfather trod and it won't be long before I am asking someone to take me to the store so I can purchase only what I need for today.

One the bright side the bags are not quite so heavy to carry.
