When grocery shopping...

[ash1ee]

What are the items you always get sucked in to buy when you don't need them?

i'm guilty of buying dips/spreads/sauces.

no wonder a list of 3 things always turns into $30.

Today it was chipotle spinach dip. (which tastes amazing with ritz i might add)

Hot sauce and yogurt. No matter how much yogurt I have, I always seem to buy more.

[cubed]

Yeah, the spreads and dips get me too.

I'm always a sucker for the hummus, luckily today I got through there with only getting a chocolate bar extra.

earthquake soup

What the fuck is earthquake soup?

[Grapes]

Don't shop hungry!

Next time I see you I'll bring you the best hummus on the face of this earth. From IGA. The other night I made the mistake of buying the wrong flavour. I didn't realize this until I started eating it. What made me feel really bad, was that I convinced some guy at the store to buy it because it was "the best hummus ever. buy it. i'm buying two!"

I returned them the next day for the right flavour.

I bought this gross soy cheddar cheese-like stuff a few weeks ago. It was like eating plastic. Returned that too.

I'm derailing your thread here. Sorry. :P

olives, and fancy cheeses.

Oh man. I ate a whole block of 10 year aged cheddar in one sitting yesterday...... fucking delicious.

[ash1ee]

whole foods is baaaaaad for that. but yet soooooooo good.

[Senior]

And here I thought this would be a thread about tipping your bagboy.

thank god it's not. there are enough threads about the fnkers in the service industry vs those who don't believe in tipping.


i'm also a sucker for the gum/magazines at the checkout. that stuff is put there for me. :/

Unless he's certified, that is.

-Dips, especially if they have eggplant in them
-Avocados even if I already have several in my fridge
-Flowers and wine, grocery shopping is never complete without those two purchases

this is pretty much all i shop for.
i live on snacks, little bits alllll the time.
like dill pickles and extra aged cheddar, hold the crackers.
maybe some kalamata olives or spicey sicilian olives and macedonia feta too.

[impure]

but when it comes to guilty pleasures at the food store, dolmades always get me.
always.

[Sykonee]

I work in a grocery store. I've learned long ago to overcome impulse buys.


Still, those Oreo Ice-Cream Sandwiches...

[stabmyhead]

Twix is more of a 7-11 thing, but when grocery shopping, it's gotta have cheese and crackers or bread.

[frogprincess]

-hariboo candy

-salt spring island goat cheese

-cat treats.

[heatherness]

i always buy fennel...
but never end up using it.

[LLaaUUrrYYn]

Things I always buy and usually throw most of it out

-Crackers
-Tapenades
-Anything curry!

[bebu*funfun]

the flowers ALWAYS get me.. and chips. mmm chips.
