Popping to the shop

[Disneylover4321]

Is it ok to pop to the local Co-op for fruit or milk or bread in between your supermarket shop?

Yes of course

Why would it not be?

Yes.

It's fine. Get some chocolate while you're there!

Yes and some cider and crisps.

And vodka and ice cream

And some Sherbert Fountains and Gummi Bears.

You're allowed out to buy food. They recommend a weekly shop but that's not possible for everyone, and it's inevitable that people will run out of things between 'big shops' too.

@Sparklingbrook

I had just seen people saying that you shouldn't.

@EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall

"Vodka" Haha!

Yes, definitely.

100%!

Yes! There is always something that gets forgotten or can't be bought in our big shop or runs out (as we are at home more) so we often have to top up. Try to limit it but it's unavoidable sometimes

@rawlikesushi

I know, I do try to go weekly but if I run out of fruit or milk I can't just tell my DS that he can't have fruit or milk for 5 days.

Actually the guy at the corner shop told me fake Bailey's in ice cream is really nice. Especially the strawberry one

Yes of course! A bottle of wine usually falls into my basket too 🤷‍♀️

@Littlebelina

I do keep it to an absolute minimum.

@Phifedean123
Haha! Same!

Well those people are wrong and how will they know? You are allowed to get food. Plus fruit, milk and bread are staples.

Yes. Ignore the dementors who make up their own rules.

I can’t actually get a full weeks shop in the one trolley plus I need a top up of fruit usually mid-week. Used to get a delivery then top up mid-week. Now I’m doing two shops a week.

@georgialondon

Thank you. It was just that I had seen people say that you shouldn't or that you can't.

Yes it's fine fresh produce doesn't last a full week or longer we have to pop to a smaller Tesco express mid week to pick up fruit milk and bread I have two I've got two young DCs who depend on being fed well.

Tbh I think if you need to go, go (even if that's just for gummy bears if that's what you need to get you through the day). It's just shops are such a depressing experience at the moment that I try to avoid.
