I actually hate the whole process. I hate getting in the car (especially when its cold), driving to the store, trying to figure out what to make for meals, staying out of peoples way, then after all of that I HAVE TO PAY for them. Take them out to the car, take them home, get them out of the trunk, beg for some help from the kids, then as they put them away, they are eating all the good stuff first, then i have to cook it, then i eat it, and then gain weight!!!

i really hate when people run into things with thier carts becuase they don't wear their glasses and they knock over a whole rack of cookies...people just really need to wear their glasses when they go grociery shopping.

you know i get what your saying. i seem to find that wearing your glasses in the grocery store makes me look to smart. then people start asking me things, like "wheres the cereal isle" or what kind of fruit roll ups my kids like. and on and on and on. If I run into things people think I'm a little off, and they leave me alone. ha ha

Well, probably having that one item in a million that doesn't have a price tag on it and they have to page someone to run back and find the item and see how much it is. (While everyone behind you is fuming about the delay).

When you take your partner with you and they just whinge at everything you shoose from the shelves. Like my BF .."na i don't like that" or "na don't get that I won't eat it". GRR!!! I've actually got so frustrated during a shop that I said to him I was never shopping with him again and from now on we'll do our grocery shopping separately. Haha now that we've been together longer, we've learnt to compromise and we still go shopping together :-)

Crowded supermarket. You will not have the space and time to slowly shop around for th ethings that you are looking for. And you will see kids running around and you afraid that you will knock them down by the cart. Next, come the checkout counter, after you get all the things you wanted then need to queue up to pay. The waiting time is about 25 to 20 minutes.
