Today, I bought $250 worth of groceries and was feeling rather good about myself because it's the first time I've been able to do so in months. When I returned home I found my fridge/freezer broken. Most of the food I bought was dairy or frozen. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I heard that there was supposed to be a huge blizzard heading our way, so I went out to stock up on groceries. After spending $600 on food, I drove home and packed most of it into the fridge and freezer just in time for our power to go out. FML
Today, I had to spend all of my money on textbooks even though my refrigerator is empty. Starving and frustrated, I called home to ask for money for groceries. My mom told me I could afford to skip a few meals. FML
Today, I got home an hour late from to find that my roommate had left the fridge open for the entire 8 hours. The kicker is that I was an hour late because I was at the grocery store, not buying the things that were getting ruined because I thought we had some. FML
Today, I spent almost an hour cleaning and scrubbing the inside of my fridge. Just when I'd finished putting everything back inside, I tipped over the open milk carton. FML
Today, I went out to get groceries and ice-cream. When I got home, I couldn't find my house keys. I retraced my steps, but with no luck. I returned home and had to break in. While unpacking, I found my keys in the bag, right next to the completely melted ice cream. FML
Today, it has been 57 hours since I have last had food. The fridge is empty. The freezer is empty. The pantry is empty. Even my bank account is empty because my pay has been delayed. Again. FML
Today, I was grocery shopping. When I got to the frozen foods, I saw some Lean Pockets, which I haven't had in forever, so I bought a couple of boxes. Around lunch time, I was hungry and thought I could have some, until I realized why I stopped buying them: I don't have a microwave. FML
Today, my refrigerator defrosted itself. FML
Today, I opened my fridge. It's entire contents: half a takeaway meal and 4 bottles of wine. FML
Today, I realized my wallet was missing right as I went to pay for my groceries. I frantically searched the store, retraced my steps, and finally found it. It was inside a freezer, where I'd apparently placed it in when I was grabbing ice cream five minutes earlier. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'd scream if that happened to me. My whole day would be udderly sour, and there's a 2% chance that I'd milk it for all it's worth. I hope you were able to moove your stuff to a working refrigerator. Sit on the cowch and hope tomorrow is a butter day. Good luck.

How do you buy $250 of groceries at once? I usually buy for $25, max. $65 if I'm stocking up. When I went all out with my bf, we got to $100... so now tell me, how do you buy that much? Or do you want to have the most expensive kind of everything?

You can't get much for $65, not in my area.

Yeah, 25 bucks is like, some milk, some meat, some bread and... that's it. What in the world do you eat?

I'm going to say that either things work a lot differently in Belgium, or 33's diet consists mostly of Ramen and the like. :P

honestly op it would probably wouldve been easiest to just go back to the store and return some of the items. you don't have to eat it, let it spoil or burden anyone for space. plus you'd get some of that money back

Most of the time you can't return frozen or dairy since by the time he got back home, found out his fridge was broken and then drove back most of it would be at least partially defrosted and they can't risk reselling it like that.

The store would take it back anyway. Just don't give them a reason why. Just say you changed your mind. Once food is returned, however, they never put it back on the shelf for other consumers. It is a waste, I will admit, but that is the policy.

Time to consume all the dairy products!

Sheesh what did you buy 100 lobsters?

If you actually find a lobster that you can purchase for $2.50, I'd strongly advise against it.
