It actually speeds up my shopping, because I am so focused on getting the words and my dance routine right, I have to tune out everything except my grocery list. I used to shop at a store years ago where the staff loved to watch me shop--they said I always had such a good time, it was a joy to see a happy customer.Mama Said Nohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17308677020217781633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-85132972424403601982018-01-11T22:23:26.537-05:002018-01-11T22:23:26.537-05:00Bluey does all our shopping.

He is happy to go from store to store and get the best deals. He only comes home with what is on the list. He even gets female sanitary products, as long as he is given the brand name and I show him the packaging. I guess store tactics dont work on him. I hate shopping so this really works for me too.<br /><br />Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-20947891221891736122018-01-11T19:23:24.557-05:002018-01-11T19:23:24.557-05:00My big weakness is wanting to buy a magazine.

Then the bakery is in back. Yes they have me with the smells you are so right. Aldi's is kind of nice for that -no bakery. They do have flowers by the cash register though.

I live fairly close to Kroger and if the wind is just right we can smell when they are frying chicken. It makes us want to run over and buy some! We never do as I tell hubby that we'll end up with the old chicken and not the fresh. ha! Wendihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547001714523524390noreply@blogger.com
