WIBU? I don't think so....

I was bagpacking for DD's club at a supermarket on Sunday and a youngish chap went through the checkout with one loaf of bread and one bottle of whisky, nothing else.

WIBU to quietly hum 'The bare necessities' for the rest of the afternoon

Yes you were - get a life!!

YABU for bagpacking in the first place.

Friend of mine having just had a baby, sent me out to get sanitary towels, bread and wine.

Covered the essentials in my view.

YANBU.

This is making me want to run out to buy bread and wine now. Not sanitary towels however.

I love a bit of trolley / basket nosing but the best I ever saw was a few months ago in Tesco. It was a Friday afternoon and all a young man had in his basket was three bottles of wine, a tube of lube and the most giant box of condoms ever. Something for the weekend, Sir?

did you pack the bottle on top of the bread thus squashing it out of shape?

Oh the irony! Bag packing for a worthy cause whilst sneering at the lifestyle of others.

He may be down on his luck or maybe, just maybe all he needed was bread ( to go with everything in his fridge at home) and a bottle for whenever he fancies a drink.

I wonder what you'd have made of my pack of tampax and bar of chocolate earlier?!

What gave you the impression the op was sneering MRSLOUIS?

I think it's quite light hearted...

No sneering as far as I understood it.

......I even got the impression that the OP was quietly applauding.

Toast and whiskey - sounds like a top night

Or something to soak up the night before

I'm convinced I saw a MNer in Asda last week. Her trolley had 12 bottles of tonic water and a bag of limes. I can only conclude she had got her gin elsewhere

I was behind a lady in Sainsburys a couple of weeks ago who had a magnum of champagne, a packet of cakes and a copy of Grazia.

I am not ashamed to admit I asked her if I could come home with her

i got bare essentials for christmas once as a present from a best mate.

pack of 20, pack of redbull and fancy chocolates and trip shoe shopping, with him holding my bags.

the essentials can bring so much joy

ynbu

I like that lady HoneyDragon

harhar, nbu

Some folks do have really weird stuff in their trolley though.

Like 20 loaves, a 4pint carton of milk and a tin of beans?

(They can't all have New Testament delusions.)

On Friday I had to nip in to the supermarket before work, so think 8:30am to pick up 50 fags and a bottle of wine. The cashier just said "breakfast of champions" made me laugh so much I didn't want to explain what I really needed them for.

I recently bought 12 bottles of wine and a bottle of gin. The checkout lady said it was the best shopping haul she had seen all day.

charleyturtle. How did you get wine before 10 am? Can't get it before then in Scotland. Makes me mad. I go for my shopping early then have to go back for wine. It does NOT make me drink less.

I once saw a chap at the checkout with a bunch of flowers, red wine and a sizeable marrow. It was valentine's day. I did not ask if I could go home with him.

littlewhitebag that's about the 'dawn patrol' (alcoholics looking for their er... breakfast.) Trying to prevent them starting so early I guess.

Hehehe, I often wonder if I look odd when I am only do a 'random bits and bobs' shop
