3-minute Grocery

Philippines

I have seen supermarkets and hypermarkets sponsor some games like buy-all-you-can in 30 seconds or 1 minute or 2 minutes at the most. Most of this I have seen only on TV and some in person. One time, my sister and I were at the grocery and something like this took place. We were watching the shopper do her buy-all-you-can for 1 minute. It was really great watching her do it. She had 3 big carts filled with various grocery items. There was also a time when my boyfriend and I witnessed a whole family do their buy-all-you-can in 1 minute and 30 seconds. It was held in a very big supermarket in another city. Each member of the family had their own big cart. One for the dad, one for the mom, and the two children got one each too. Before they even started, my boyfriend was already telling me what he would do if he was to do it. It was fun watching them as it seems that they got it all planned out. They started in one area and when the whistle was blown, each of them went to different areas of the supermarket. I am sure that they have had a really great time! If I would be given the chance to do this alone, I would definitely do my best to get what we need at home. I would definitely start with the more expensive items in the supermarket. Food, toiletries, wines (most of which will be used for cooking), kitchenwares, items for laundry needs, lots of items for picnic (because we do this often), and baking supplies. I know how hard it is to do in a maximum of 2 minutes so I would give you 3 minutes to do this.

Me too. I would like to do that too if I were given a chance. I think that will be very exciting. My husband and I will make a plan on how to attack the grocery. . I will start with the ones that are expensive. Maybe most of the items we will get are the ones that can be stored for a long time like canned goods, shampoo, lotions, soaps, laundry supplies, toiletries, kitchenwares, items for cooking, etc. I will try to avoid getting items in bottles because they might get broken or they might ruin the other items I got.

It would really be best to start off with the most expensive items in the grocery!

Ill do what you will do. But sometimed even given the time limit, there are also limit in the cost of items to be taken. How we wish we will be able to be one od the lucky shoppers. Who knows someday. Just keep our fingers crosses.
