I should have used the scale. It was right there in front of my face, but I just didn't think I needed it.
While shopping for produce at Acme market, I spied some beautiful ruby red cherries. I love cherries. When I was a kid, we had a cherry tree in our backyard. Trying to pick the cherries before the birds gobbled them down was always a family sport.
So, feeling very nostalgic for my childhood at Acme, I grabbed the cherries - priced $3.99 a pound. Pricey, yes, but I thought I had less than a pound. Then, I got to the cashier and had to fork over nearly $8 for cherries.
Man, happy memories can be costly.

I did the same thing. They get you with the pre-bagged cherries and grapes. I always remember to take half the grapes out -- mostly because they rot before we can eat them. But I forgot on the cherries too.
