Well, the clouds cleared and the sun came out after the torrential rain through which I battled to do the shopping

But now the sun's gone down, and due to the lack of cloud cover the temperature is plummeting

Forgot spuds, onions, and a few other things while shopping today

Plenty of crisps and wine gums in the cupboard though, so they'll have to do

I've found in my dotage that making shopping lists avoids embarrassment.

I find it so annoying trying to read a list while also getting around the shop as fast as possible without colliding with the peasantry that I end up just stuffing the damn thing back in my pocket and fleeing with what I've got

Not to mention that the list is never in the same order as the supermarket so I have to range back and forth, trying to find where they've moved things to this week

You need to write an app where you list what you want, pick your supermarket and it puts it in order and works the most efficient route... (c) (tm) pat pending etc..

Better to type into the website what you want, pick a delivery slot, put your feet up and crack a beer.

They deliberately move stuff around just to force you to walk about a lot, in the hope you'll be tempted into buying something you weren't planning to

Took me nearly five minutes to find the salt a few weeks ago

I saw some programme on the telly, must be over ten years ago now, which had a retired couple talking about how they spent their time. The husband had created an Excel spreadsheet mapping out the supermarket aisles, and that's what they kept their shopping list in. Then, just before they went shopping, he printed the list out and it was automatically in the right order for going up and down the aisles

They didn't say how he coped with the eggs being moved next to the pitta breads, which were moved to where the crumpets used to be, which went to where to where the brown rolls once were, etc… as happened a couple of months back.

I'd need to fix the doorbell for that. Much easier to just keep going to the shop
