Pinkxi and BBM were on their weekly grocery run when they stopped at the fruit aisle and BBM gave her\u00a0a small lesson on picking out nice-looking apples.<\/p>\n
Pinkxi was thrilled to be able to help BBM sift through the apples and\u00a0filling their basket.<\/p>\n
As they were bagging the apples, Pinkxi asked what is to happen to the leftover fruits that were dented or blemished. BBM, busy with the bagging, nonchalantly said that they will simply be discarded by the supermarket if no one wants them after a few days. \u2018Well, no one wants to buy them and they cannot be given away.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Why? Even when we can still eat them? But that will be such a waste, right?\u2019 Pinkxi looked puzzled.<\/p>\n
\u2018Well, sometimes the store will try to sell these at a lower price, maybe then they\u2019ll get to go home with other families.\u2019 BBM pointing out to the bargain corner while trying to finalise their purchase.<\/p>\n
\u2018Maybe we should buy the not so nice ones. You always say we should not waste leftovers from our meals,\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n
BBM, with a basketful of grocery in hand replied, \u2018Emmm, that\u2019s very true. Perhaps we can check out bargain corner and see if there\u2019s something we like\u2026.But not too much stuff, because it is also wasteful to overbuy and not finish them before they go bad.\u2019 BBM reminding her of the fruits they had just bagged.<\/p>\n
And surprisingly, they did find a reasonably nice-looking bag of grapes at the bargain corner at a half of its original price.<\/p>\n
\u2018Yippee, now I get to have apples and grapes in my lunchbox!\u2019<\/p>\n
BBM pinched Pinkxi\u2019s cheeks and momentarily, clouds of warm fuzziness float through his head.<\/p>\n
