to think that trolleys are totally unfarily biased towards those with young families?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

My blueberries and kumquats keep falling out the holes in the vegetables section of the trolley.

Why do the supermarkets suck-up to those with young DC? Surely they're not the greatest proportion of society? I think the balance should be redressed and the legholes removed for the majoroity of trolleys.

That is how life should be.

I do not enjoy repeatedly chasing little blue balls of delightfuless around the floor of the shop. And, yes, before you ask, it was my first ever kumquat.

AIBU?

Even Elizabeth Bennet kept one for when she walked into Meryton.

If you buy the blueberries already in the muffins they can't escape through the holes.

Gaahhh!!! It's threads like this that make me take twice as long to do what I switched on the pooter to do! Classic MN time-thief thread!

BTW, I also am the proud owner of a trolley token. A very dear old couple gave me their petplan one a few weeks ago when DS2 was playing up and I was trying to juggle purse, wild child and chain-linked trolley with 50 pairs of eyes glaring at me and a gormless shop assistant who made no effort to help. Was very thankful and the token thing has proved extremely useful.

Genius, nickname.

If you buy the grapes ready fermented and bottled, that solves the losing of grapes issue too.

I've perfected the art of balancing a full weeks shop in a shallow trolley. I'm immensely proud of this fact and no amount of withering stares from other shoppers can detract from that.

I refuse to knacker my back bending double to reach to bottom of a deep trolley.

I can't be the only one either ad our lidl has brought in the most fabulous big shallow trolleys. I especially like those as I can stiff ds2 in the child seat so he doesn't spend the whole trip handing off my leg tripping me up.

The blurberry and grape ideas are inspired!

pimp my trolley

trolley - no - does not compute.... online shopping is the way to go... a lovely person deposits shopping INTO MY KITCHEN - no loss of blueberries OR kumquats...

(though my blueberries do come inside the muffins... so not a very scientific comparison)

Blurberry muffins and fermented grapes mmmmmmmmm. Are you sure you're ovulating Chaos? How can you tell? Do you always do it standing up?

MmeLindor - if you're talking fermented grapes, do you think it would be very wrong to browse on them whilst travelling through the aisles (like wot some people do with the unfermented sort)

Don't your trolleys have the plastic bits that flip up and cover the legs holes? Also means you don't have to put your food on a seat that has had a nappy full of urine and possibly poo. Or am I missing something...

ThisIsYourSong - that always used to put me off the family trolleys - the very thought of what was on that seat - and having seen snot nose monsters rubbing their noses all over the handles too.... bleurrgghhhhhhhhhhhh...... (disclaimer... I have 2 of my own - not quite so snotty now at 10 and 12 - but still like digging for it!!)

I've always wanted to meet someone who has eaten kumquats more than once.

You're fibbing stealth-boasting though, aren't you Op? They just sound more impressive than plums, don't they?

Lidl wins for me- mini trolley with seat for DS1 (2.6) and baby carrier for DS2 (8wks).

Did do the seat/baby trolley in Morrisons the other day. Fishing for the bottom was compensated by DSs charming the pants of pensioners with their cheeky smiles. Their plans for world domination begin in the supermarkets of Mooktown...

Aren't the pully-out bits meant to be for the bunch of flowers? Poor design though, as the one time I used it, someone bashed my flowers with their backpack and decapitated my gerberas.

I'm liking the sound of Mars bars and batter mix, have added them to my shopping list, plus oil for deep fryer.

I hand everything to DC and let her throw it behind her into the trolley. Often with a disturbing as she drops the juice on the tomatoes.

Meh, they're fucking disgusting anyway.

All the trollies in my local rough Coles are coin-separated ones. My token thing has ARSE written on it in tippex, because I are well klarsey.

Oh I am SO going to get a trolley token. I usually leave a pound coin in the car but someone always nicks it!
Talc your post last night did make me giggle

Takes a bow and feels well chuffed.

Waitrose have mini two tier trolleys. So you can put the fancy stuff ontop and bleach and tampons underneath!

Have you seen the trollies with the flap to block the Lego holes to stop such incidences OP.....

blueberries look rank. i cannot bring myself to try one. So yabu
