World's Best

I wandered around Target clutching this little plastic carnival tent container indecisively. 

 It was the last one.  

I put it back twice, and even considered hiding it behind some stuff,
and coming back for it later when I had extra cash.  

When I run errands, I keep a firm grip on my shopping list, and always recite the same thing to myself before walking in: 

"If it wasn't a need when I walked in,
it won't be a need when I walk out." 

Meaning: don't buy random crap just because it is on sale.  

However, extreme mark-downs and/or items discovered on my long-term shopping list can be decided on a case-by-case basis.  

And then the check-out lady scanned it.

It was twenty-three cents.

Less than a quarter.

I needed an adorable snack container, because, let's face it:

 I don't purchase, carry, or wear anything that I am not crazy about and no way was I spending five bucks on a pack of the Glad brand to hold my sugar packets.  

This container now graces my tea tray and makes me smile while also encapsulating my sweeteners--which is its cute little job.
