Fascinating shopping basket contents...other peoples that is.

[perplexed]

Well, whilst in the supermarket a couple of days ago I found myself third in the queue at the checkouts.

In pole position was a lady with a pretty average looking trolly load of groceries.

In second place, just in front of me, were a couple of older ladies, probably in their early 70's. The thing is, the contents of their trolly set me off thinking.

Their shopping appeared to consist of:

Twelve boxes of man sized tissues.

One large bottle of whisky.

A bunch of bananas.

A tin of pineapple rings.

What the hell were they planning for the evening??!!!

So, what unusual shopping loads have you seen recently?

6 Cans of Guinness, and several packets of Sports Mixture.

Wait, that was me. I bought the Guinness for myself, but I was buying the sweets for others.

They need the boxes of tissues to set on the back window of their Metro.

And to whack them on the back of their head when they brake suddenly.

Have seen a guy with a full trolley of cooking oil. I think a little more subtlety was required than going straight outside to the car park and pouring it into his (diesel) car though. Mind, if the intended fuel strikes hit.......
Another bloke with 1/2 trolley of cooking oil and 1/2 trolley of flour. He does own the local chip shop though.

I have, much to my embarrassment, happily put tins of beans into someone elses trolley. Wife had moved off with our groceries and the trolley had been replaced with another shoppers when I turned round.

But will they have put them inside those velvet and gold tissue box holders? (You don't see them so much these days do you?)

And to whack them on the back of their head when they brake suddenly.

At least they'll be able to wipe the blood up.

Some days, anyone looking at my basket would think I have an orange and white fixation. A lot of what I buy is in the Sainsburys Basics range (white and orange labels), and sometimes I'm also buying 1% fat milk (orange label), Basics Red Leicester cheese (orange cheese with orange and white label), and an orange pepper.

A big chap in steel cap shoes, builder's helmet and high viz vest buying a pack of weight watchers carrot cake slices
He told me they taste great, so I bought two

I love being nosey about what other people have in their trolley's and I find myself judging people I don't know by the contents. The flip side of that is I assume others are doing the same to me so I get self conscious about what's in my trolley

I tend to shop for the odd things that I don't always have in plentiful stock at home due to the shopping fairy.

I am sure that I have been seen in Morrisons with a chocolate bar, bottle of scotch, laundry liquid, tractor magazine and condoms. Not sure what people must think of me!

You are planning on doing something rather rude to yourself involving the bottle, the laundry liquid and condoms (just be be safe, like), whilst reading your tractor magazine and eating some chocolate??

The chocolate bar and the magazine were the only things for immediate consumption, the rest was just for stock as I was running low.

Make sure you don't just buy x12 bog rolls and 4x6pt milk...people will think all you ever do is drink milk and sit on the khazi.

 

[qwiksilver]
