Did you ever leave your groceries out somewhere and forget them?

I think I've left a doggy bag in the car a few times. The smell when you open your car the next morning is just very, very pleasant. I don't think I've left any groceries in the car that got spoiled or stinky. I always make sure to bring in the perishables first and put them in the freezer or refrigerator. A few days ago, Boyfriend showed me the Boca Burger and Lean Cuisine Frozen Dinner boxes that somehow fell off the grocery bag in his car. That was a shame, I like Boca Burgers. I left something out of the freezer once. In order to get something I wanted from the freezer, I had to move Boyfriend's frozen chocolate lava cake box. Absentmindedly, I put it on top of the freezer and forgot about it. I didn't realize what I did until a few weeks later when Boyfriend, with a very accusatory look, showed me the box . I tried to act like I didn't know what he was pointing at but then I started giggling. And knowing me, Boyfriend was sure I was the culprit when I started the nervous giggles. That was a shame too. I love chocolate lava cakes.

Well, I figure since this discussion is so old I can just have my way with it, hehehe. I have never left any groceries in the car but once my sister and I came out of the store with our cart full and left it by the curb to go get the car. I don't remember why one of us did not stay with the groceries, but we hopped in the car and drove off. We got home and went to unload the groceries but they were not in the car!!! We had to drive back and get them... fortunately it wasn't too far away and they were still sitting right where we left them when we got back. We were both pretty hungover.

Since my wife buys them from BUY AND SAVE SHOP, sometimes there is some mistake in billing. Hence before uploading the materials to the car, she checks each and every item (we do ot have bar coding for all the products and hence it is typed manually on the billing machine). AFter checking, she knows what belongs to her and it is carried out of the store. Very rarely she leaves one or two items, which telephones the store and they handover the same next time on production of the bill.

I actually left a dozen eggs inside the car of my brother... it's lucky that i realized it sooner that is why i was able to call him to tell him to immediately get the eggs out of the car or else they will all perish...

My parents once left the groceries on top of the car when I was a child. They were driving through the parking lot and people kept honking and waving at them. They thought everyone had gone crazy. Then they realized what they had done. LOL, I have never left groceries, but I did leave my keys in the car lock and my ex-husband got in and put his key in the ignition, so we were driving around with my keys hanging out of the driver side door lol.

i generally dont forget whatever i buy or have but yes i have a strong nose and would be of help if i needed to detect a melon.lol. but i have been careless, in excitement, to have forgotten the car key, ofcourse not my own car, inside. and have been like "oh my gosh, when will i learn" smiles, apple.

we've forgotten ice cream before - it melted and got all over the place. And once we left a peanut butter sandwich in a container in the car for a week, which resulted in a lot of mold.

Once and only once I left a gallon of milk in the trunk for about 2 days. I normally only buy one gallon when I go, but this time I needed 2 or there was a sale, can't remember but I had a reason for getting two. Anyway out of habit when I got the one out along with my normal 5 bags of groceries, I forgot the other one. Thankfully it was closed so no odor, but I was plenty aggravated with myself.

I have in the past, but my husband has been good about noticed them or vice versa. We usually help one another out in bringing in the groceries. It makes a difference.

This is not about groceries but spoiled food nevertheless. My parents were throwing a party. So early in the day my dad made some amazing jerk chicken. We were munching on it cooked everything else. We didn't have air conditioning and it was one of those humid summers. We left it in the oven so we could make room for other stuff on the counters and tables. Late in the evening as we were getting ready I smelt something foul!!! When I asked what that smell was I was informed that the chicken had spoiled. My dad looked like he had lost his best friend. He was so sad/frustrated.

Never.When I go shopping I always take everyhting specialy when is warm like this.To my mum happen something similar like to you.She bought fruit and also christmas gift and put it to a same back.So under the christams tree we find those stinky fruit.

Today,I fpund That come early is a mistake,too late.

OH, and btw, to help with the smell, put some fresh coffee grounds in a butter container in the trunk with no lid for a night or two. Coffee is a natural freshener. My sister left eggs in her car one hot day, they burst and the smell was just awful after a day or two (yep, the good old famous rotten egg smell). She tried this and in three days, no smell at all. Before she told me about it she had had the carpets cleaned and the car 'descented' to no avail. The coffee did the trick. She was just mad that she hadn't mentioned it to me before spending all that money for nothing.

Yes, I have done this too. I am horridly absentminded. So now, no matter what I make a special trip out to recheck the car after I have unloaded everything. Countless times I have found a loose item lurking there. I also try to use the receipt. As I unpack the groceries, I mark the item off the receipt, if anything is left unchecked it's been left in the car. My car seats have a habbit of eating stuff (lol), something will fall out of the bag and roll under them.

I was tending bar one night, the guy who was supposed to come in to take my place showed up 3 hours late so I missed supper. It was about 11:00 and I didn't feel like cooking so I stopped off at a fast food place to get a burger and fries. I was driving down the road and decided I wanted a couple bites of that burger before I got home so opened the sack and then the wrappings, all while I was driving. I took a bite of the burger and discovered something missing. There was bread, lettuce, pickles, mustard and mayo.... but no burger! I didn't feel like driving all the way back to the place so when I got home I called them and told them that they forgot to put the burger on the bun. They offered me a free burger at my next visit. I got my free burger the next day for lunch on my way to work. A couple of days later I got in my car to go to work and this slightly rotten smell hit me as soon as I opened the door. I did a quick look around the car and you'll never guess what I found... the missing burger! It had slipped out of the bun when I opened the wrapper and fell down the side of my seat. Ewwww, it was nasty.

That is really funny! One time years ago, I guess I put a package of bacon in the cupboard with the can food. I couldn't believe I had done that. The next day I was looking for the bacon to make breakfast but I couldn't find it. I was sure I bought it so I moved everything in the fridge to find it. Then I moved everything in the freezer; knowing full well that if I had put it in the freezer it would of been on top but oh well, I moved everything anyway. By the second day when making breakfast I couldn't help but think of the bacon so I looked through the fridge and the freezer again. I even thought will maybe when I moved things around yesterday I moved the bacon with out noticing it. So I moved everything again to make sure the bacon was or was not there. No BACON! My sister came for dinner that night and I asked her if I had a can of tomato soup in my cupboard to go in the goulash I was making? Yes she said and can you tell me why you have a pound of bacon in here also?

I know it would be easy to forget the groceries in the car. But since I don't have a car, and usually I put everything on the table when I come home after grocery shopping, I haven't forgotten to put away anything or left something somewhere. Besides, I don't buy very many food everytime and therefore, I can remember clearly on what I have bought.

Ick! I can't say I've done that before. I've left stuff (knowingly) that didn't need refrigeration and wouldn't melt in the car because I was too tired to get everything. But never accidentally left anything that I know of.

haha..Interesting!
