Grocery shopping trick!
 

Grocery shopping can be a huge chore, especially if you have health issues. In the cart, out of the cart, in the car, out of the car, put it all away....collapse!

The part that tires me the most is taking it all out of the cart and putting it on the belt; bend, reach, pile...over and over! I have 3 cats and a dog, and just their food is 56 cans/containers from the depths of the cart up to the belt for an every other week shopping trip!

So.....I grab a big cart and 3 shopping baskets, lining my cart with the baskets inside and up top. I then load everything into the 3 baskets and the underside of the cart for larger items like tp, kibble, etc....

When I get to checkout I put the 3 baskets and misc. on the belt, and let the cashier do the unloading.

I wish I had thought of it years ago!:byebye:

That dogs will be dogs and dump the water bucket as soon as you fill it up, so they can play with the bucket. :byebye:

To never ever put all your eggs in one basket:farmchicken:

This past weekend, I put my items in my personal grocery bags, & at checkout I set them on belt....I have a nice freezer bag I use & a heavy duty square one...I just always do this when I am shopping alone...makes it so much easier.

Well, a very rude & obnoxious woman behind me started running off at the mouth...."you need to get up & unload your bags, it is not her job to do so for you. I have worked as a cashier for 32 years & have never in my life seen any such a thing happen. And besides if you didn't "lay on the couch & eat bags of chips & cartons of ice cream all day, you wouldn't need to use a cart"...OH NO, she did NOT go there. Oh yes she did. It startled me so much & I got up, politely unloaded my bags then sat back down, & I turned to her with a LOT OF RESERVE and said..."you need to mind your own business & wherever you work, I sure hope to never patronize that store..." & left the store.

Well...the difference between your experience and my experience boils down to one thing; I am not a nice person, and i have a heck of a bitchy resting face. I would have got in her face and told her to shove it up her ***, and I would have felt zero remorse.

Not to rag on you, but by doing what she wanted you to do (unloading your bags) you reinforced her bad behavior.:rrose:

learned...
 

even after all these years, people continue to surprise me:praying:

I have learned.....

That when I don't sleep properly, I nap all day long.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

That I know who I am, what my intentions are, what my values are, what my flaws, weaknesses and limitations are, and what I have to offer others. I am always trying to improve, but basically I'm gonna stick with what I know to be true about myself and what others think isn't going to change that.

To always check your bank account before you go out shopping or to the club!

Well I'm starting to learn that I need to be a little less harsh, a little less cold, that everyone deserves another chance.

I've learned that just because the Dr releases you doesn't mean you are healed/well

never count your chicken before your eggs hatch:farmchicken:

That one human being cannot "fix" another human being.

I forget. :cigar2:

I've learned ...
 

That,

• Less is more.
• You've only got one life, so make it count.
• Slow is so much better than fast, and so much more enjoyable.

That some people are just plain mean.
