Does food shopping stress you out? - Page 2

I don't mind shopping so much anymore, only when i am with Martin do i get stressed out. He hides things in the trolly that he wants and i don't usually notice for a while or until we get to the checkout. I try to make lists but i'm much better at finding my was round a b&q than any supermarket.

This is Paula, forgot to sign Durz out.

I guess I'm fairly lucky that my supermarket opens at 6AM.

Best time to shop. When everyone else is still trying to figure out how to operate the snooze function....

Shopping by myself is easy as pie - go in, have a wonder round and get whatever I fancy. Go home, unpack, realise I've forgotten most of what I need and vow to write a list next time... repeat the following week!

With my parents, like Haly I need to be careful as they are both ill and have a lot of trouble walking so trolley avoidance and slow speeds are required, but I've got used to it. Mum consentrates on getting things she needs off a list, Dad runs off within seconds like a toddler to find something we will pass sooner or later but he's decided he wants there and then, and then the fun at the check out when Mum is in the way of me packing and Dads disappeared again!

With my flatmates on the odd occasion I'm being nice and take Dana in the car when Jennie and I go, I get lumbered with the trolley and they both run in opposite directions for all the heavy stuff they'll need for the next few months. I figure they're big enough to look after themselves though and shop as if I'm on my own - they can come find me!

I LOVE food shopping, it's so much fun!

Alone I buy all sorts of crap as well as new recipes I make up as I see the BOGOF's or 2 for £1 offers (my house mates love it).

And with my mum, I just chuck in any old anything and she buys it all, teehee hee! She hates shopping with me...

Tesco's online ftw.

I detest supermarket shopping with a passion.

One of the worst things is people who suddenly stop in the middle of an aisle without checking to see if they're causing an inconvenience to anyone or even if there's a risk of being clipped by the trolley behind - you need to keep about 6 feet between you and the person in front in case they're a stopper.

I had to stop going to the supermarket as I got so frustrated I was actually swearing at people and ran the risk of being ejected if anybody complained
