The keen shopper!  by happypat

The keen shopper!

Shopping g day & it’s Harry’s favourite pastime!
When I think back to our farming days when he hardly went anywhere & if he did it was there & back as quickly as possible!
These days he likes nothing better than wandering down the aisles of any supermarket.
We’ve been in Sainsbury’s, Aldi & his favourite Booths today.

Three good things:
1. Sainsbury’s were selling net produce bags for 30p each. I didn’t buy an6 as I already have the ones I bought from NZ which I use all the time.
2. A new battery in my watch. I like to use a proper watch when flying as mobile phones adjust themselves to the local time so I am completely confused what time it is where I’ve come from & where I’m going!
3. A big mug of hot chocolate!

4. Please let there be the a deal in this never ending Brexit!
Enough is enough!
Oh well there's hope for FG yet then.. look forward to that day
..nice selection of fresh fruit

I love it..... I have a happy shopper husband too. He worked at 'Safeway ' when he left school and is a brilliant packer!!!!
I know what you mean about real watch for flying. I like to connect to home time regularly when away!!!

A lovely image of your keen shopper. Chook will go to the shops but no browsing allowed - mind you, I’m much the same, unless it’s a book shop!

I do think shopping is quite an interesting experience these days. So many different & varied things to buy. Each shop different with favourite buys in each branch. I’m amazed at the convenient ready to shove in the oven dishes there are in Aldi! Course I think everyone likes the Simply Food in Marks & Spencer’s, I think that my favourite & a treat too. We have a Simply Food branch at a nearby garage! It’s good to share the load at the moment as I can’t lift so I picked & Harry carried!

Wonderful!! I do like wandering thru specialty sections of grocery stores!!

@dide Yes I’m much quicker on my own....I go straight for what I want but today was a long browsing day! 😏

That's a nice way to shop - you pick and Harry carries! I, too am amazed at all the ready to serve dinners! No excuse to not eat well. A bit more expensive but you don't have to have all the ingredients at hand and wash all the pots!

@photographycrazy I think back to the days of standing by the counter _ telling the shop keeper what you want while he went to get it....a life time away!

Shopping is not my favourite pastime, but it has to be done... Hubby's helping hand is always appreciated!

@maggiemae Most in metal containers you just remove the cover & put in oven! It’s so easy to do but I shan’t go down that route very often! Handy sometimes though! I did buy something called Hunters chicken today. Chicken breast wrapped in bacon & covered in cheese...just add bbq sauce near the end & there you are! Great if you’re in a hurry!

@gijsje Yes we would starve otherwise Bep.....good to have company!

Shopping is good when you have time to browse. I totally agree with No 4.

David never used to be interested in shopping either, but since he retired he often comes with me to do the grocery shopping. He buys all the things I don't see like sausage, biscuits, cheese and chocolate, ha ha. It costs me twice as much when he comes with me.

Jerry loves to grocery shop, I make the list and away he goes! Yes your Brexit has been all over our news, oh my.
