I don't like talking on the phone while doing grocery shopping because I can't focused and think on the things that I should buy and mostly I end up picking the wrong one. I tend to walk around and waste time. How about you, can you talk on the phone while grocery shopping? Do you like talking someone while grocery shopping?

Hi. careguarden. No. Not unless my husband calls me to remind me to get him something from out of the grocery store. I also may call him to ask him if he needs something in particular out of the store or not too. If I talk on the telephone while grocery shopping then I may get mixed up or I will leave something out by accident.

No, I don't like talking on the phone in general, and especially not if I am doing something else. So I really try to avoid that if I can, just because I want to concentrate on what I am actually doing!

If I'm all by myself in the grocery store, I'm usually on my phone chatting to a friend. My list remains pretty well the same every time I go there, and just before I check out I'll say goodbye to the person I'm chatting with and then double check that I have everything anyway.

I can't talk on the phone while I'm grocery shopping. That's way too much multi tasking for me. lol If it's an important call that I need to take, I may pull the cart over and take the call quick and then get back to my shopping.

it really depends on why i am talking to him. if i am talking to him because of something that is really needed while shopping, then i will do it. for example, if a friend requested me to buy something and i felt there is a need to call because of say, a color, price, quality decision i have to make, then talking to him is necessary, so i talk to him while shopping.

I will answer it if it rings, then tell them I will call them back. I find it very distracting, especially if my children are with me.
