Do you normally get funny looks in Sainsburys, Martin?  |

Do you normally get funny looks in Sainsburys, Martin? He will insist in going there in his PJs and dressing gown. |

ASDA is best, they have a single lane entrance with lines along the floor showing us where to stand, then a man at the front who if you try to go in as a couple (why wouldn't you, man pushes the trolley woman picks the stuff its been like that for decades) but NO not any more.
Only 1 person is allowed in, so woman goes in as they always know whats needed and man stays outside, so WTF happens when its time to pay? LOL

We bought a Sainsburys 4-pack without any bother or funny looks today. That's all well and good. But no doubt, their Surveillance Department, will have recorded your purchase, accessed your file, looked at how many is in your household, know exactly how many times a day the bathroom is visited, approximate your total daily sheetage used, work out exactly how long your 4-pack should last and have a date for this, and if you return before that date, Martin - it will be a very different story then, Martin. A very different story... |

My Mrs managed a big haul at Waitrose today thankfully. She had to queue but not too long as punters were limited to only 50 in the store at a time. Will just be going out for short exercise sessions ...

LOL Men are much faster shoppers than women, and they buy much more interesting stuff. They also don't stand at the checkout looking surprised at being asked for money and then spend five minutes looking for their purse and then trying to tender the exact amount, which they never can, which starts the "If i give you £35.20 you can give me £2.00 change" conversation. Men have already counted in their head roughly how much the shopping comes to, and would have a couple of twenties at the ready. I speak from a vast amount of experience. |

Ha, the total opposite in my case - I just sling everything in the bags without much care or attention. My wife on the other hand ...

But the wife can get twice as much into any given packing space than I can. She's an OCD tomboy, so maybe that explains it! |

Got most things on our Aldi list..
Could not get Rocket salad, Baked Beans, Rice cakes, kitchen surface cleaner, Paracetamol and they never do wholemeal flour..
Toilet paper no problem.
Poundland was deserted. Had baked beans and surface cleaner and toilet paper. No Paracetamol..
I call Paracetamol placebomol as it has no effect on me whatsoever!
Even the caffeine one..
Some must like it..

Ibuprofen, much more useful and effective.

More effective if taken with Codeine, Co-Codamol being convenient. Oh and a few Whiskey and Dry helps.
