So I wanted to pop, out today just for a couple of items but I already knew that it was going to be hot, hot, hot. I was up fairly early …..hey, I’m retired I don’t listen to alarm clocks these days …..and I was up and out on an early bus. I didn’t actually have to go into town as I just needed to go to Lidl, which is situation just on the edge of the town. I wanted to get a free all butter croissant that I had won as part of an ongoing promotion ( my offer would have run out if I left it til next week and we won’t have time this weekend as we should be having the Grandkids ). I also wanted to get a gammon joint ( ham ). I wanted this for ….maybe ….Saturdays tea. I say ‘maybe’ as it depends what we are doing with the kids and what time they have to go home ! Anyway, as it was early there weren’t many customers in Lidl and I was easily able to get my items …. I used the self service till ….not something I would usually do …. I was able to get the very next bus back home …. Great result I think. You know I love shopping and I can’t remember the last time ….if ever ….that I was in and out of a shop in such a short space of time ! When you go shopping are you ……. A browser …… Or A in, get my items and out …… Sort of person ?

@traceyjayne I like to think I’m a grab and go kind of shopper. This might not match with reality.

I get in and out as fast as possible. I’m not into looking around except on rare occasions. You and I are like shopping ninjas!

Definitely a browser unless I am just there for an item or two, or don't have time.

We go shopping once every two weeks, so we spend time browsing while we're in the store. Our entire trip might take an hour to find everything, pay for it and get the heck out of there! The 19th is one of our normal shopping days. The 4th of the month is our other shopping day.

@Traceyjayne We COULD go much faster! After about 45 minutes, I'm ready to get away from people again, so start asking Pretty if she'd done looking yet.
