to leave fake shopping lists written by DD in the trolley

Since discovering on here that people read and judge on other people's shopping lists they find I've been doing this.

Is it very bad to get DD to write lists such as:

Beer
Crisps
Bread
Chicken nuggets
Gin
Vodka
Cigs
Peas
Nappies

Not quite on topic but as an avid peruser of others shopping, I was bemused by the chap in front of me who had six bottles of vodka and 12 tins of dog food.

He may have had a drink problem but he loved his dog :-/

That's funny ''"quinoa - lolz"

I remember bumping in to my step grandmother in the supermarket and in her basket she had gin, tonic, lemons, limes and matches. She tried to throw her cardigan over her basket.

Yetanothersparticus- yes, there must always be a small aubergine!

People will probably find my shopping trolley odd at the checkout. I don't do a regular weekly shop and pass most supermarkets on the way home from work so I will go to one at random once or twice a week as need things.

It's mostly Aldi, but visit the others every once in a while to see if there is anything good on offer, or to stock up on an item that we like from that shop, or is cheapest there (eg. Waitrose is the cheapest place to buy Lavazza coffee so I will go every couple of months and buy a few packs).

Or if I decide to go to Tesco, it will be because they have a buy 6 and save 25% off wine, so I might have a dozen bottles of cava (theirs is good and cheap), milk and whatever catfood and cheese is on offer.

I normally just throw any bits of paper in the bin. I'll be reading them next time!

A mumsnet shopping list should be:

Naice ham
Pom bears
Gin
Pears
Stunt pineapple
Lemon drizzle cake
Loo brush

I think I'm going to leave them in my local shop and see how long before a mumsnetter clocks one.

LittleStripyBee that's a good idea, I will do the same, lets see how long it will be before a thread is started on the MN shopping list Grin

kineticmagnetic · 13/03/2017 12:22

They HAVE to be in children's writing though, no fun if in an elegant script.

Bonus points for vodkat and mummy's gin

This reminded me of the shopping lists my husband used to write, everything had a rude name -
Chicken tits
Shit roll

MusicToMyEars800 · 13/03/2017 13:19

Doggy Grin that would make me laugh if I found a list like that

Dustyroad63 · 13/03/2017 19:43

Pulses/ legumes
Leafy green veg
