Do you think it’s possible to be bad at grocery shopping? (1 Viewer)

[Ahsoka]

I do because I am. I miss obvious things (like not noticing the condensed milk I grabbed said fat free), I forget where things I need are located (I couldn’t find the oil section today for the life of me), and Im slow at reading labels when there’s a lot (I know when theres a ton everyone’s slower than usual, but im even slower). I do sometimes get lucky, like today when I found corn syrup in a section I didn’t expect rather than where I looked. That’s why I always like someone being with me when grocery shopping. Im hopeless otherwise. I just think it’s a miracle I haven’t yet brought home a completely wrong item (like a non dairy butter instead of dairy). But its only a matter of time

Yeah, most of the time. The one I went to today is the one we go to almost every week

so doesn't the repetition and repeated shops like mean you get better at it?
practice makes perfect no? lol

Usually yeah. But while I do shop there often I don’t necessarily always get the same stuff. Like today I got corn syrup (which I’ve never bought), condensed milk (I don’t often get it), I missed out on oil which I don’t often get too, and stuff like that. I’m able to get milk or stuff like that easily because we always get it and it’s in an obvious place

ahhh so you're saying when you buy new stuff that you haven't bought before
ok I get that a bit since you have to find the new stuff - what I do is normally just ask the staff where it is

 

[athenaaa]

Yes because I’m terrible at it. I once bought hot pepperoni instead of mild so I was stuck eating this massive 2kg bag all to myself.

Either new stuff or just stuff that’s so rarely on my list that it might as well be new. Though I grab wrong versions of things that I get usually too at times because I don’t notice the wording on the label. And yeah asking staff can help but eww human interaction

it begs the question where does yours truly fit on Vikki's cheerleeder-rando eww human interaction scale?

 

[Lexie]

I sometime also miss what I'm looking for even though it is right in front of my eye level.
It takes me a while too because I'm just all over the store looking for an aisles.

Clearly right directly on the eww humans side

 

[ani07]

I always write down what I need, so no that didnt happen to me before.

 

[Michael]

I go to the grocery store each time accompanied by a bad person at grocery shopping, so yes, it's possible.

I guess I need to up my game!!!
