Just for Methods Smile

The bit right at the front of the trolley packed with enough fruit and veg to keep 10 people going for 9 days (by my standards) - obviously a health obsessed freak with control issues.

Meal for one, telly guide and family pack of doritos - Sad - unless they've managed to offload DP/DC for a night alone, and then it's woohoo Grin

I love seeing teenagers mooching about trying to work out whether pooling their cash will give them enough to get a can of redbull to drink down the park Grin

And what's with the people who buy like 30 bottles of shampoo and two tins of dog food?

I've never been able to suss them, but love trying to think of outlandish ways they might be using the items

I was behind a lady a few weeks ago at the tills, and her last few items on the belt were 4/5 packs of Tena lady and 4/5 rolls of bin bags. Probably unconnected, but Confused
I really wanted to put my box of nappy sacks at the front of my shopping....

I'm the same hogsback, meat and veg from the supermarket are shit in comparison.

On top of that DH gets most of the essentials from supermarket he works near, so when I go to our local one, my trolly's full of on offer choc and crisps Grin

I'm also wondering about the aggressive defensive stance anonymosity?

If I couldn't make an accurate judgment based on what you're buying, I'd just make it up Grin

Thanks for posting though.

I judged a woman yesterday for buying two huge bagfuls of Basic Range muesli, and two bagfuls of sultanas, presumably to add the the crappy cheap tasteless muesli. I wanted to tap her on the shoulder and say 'one word - Alpen.'
