Re: Checking out other people's carts!!

[Guest guest]

Hi all.

I had to chuckle at the topic of this discussion. I ALWAYS check out other

people's carts because what else is there to do while you are waiting in line.

Sometimes I have noticed a great sale item, and I might say " oh, where did you

get that? " and the person would say " In aisle 3 " , and I would burst out with

" oh, watch my cart please " , I'd jump off the line and grab whatever special they

are having. Once there was tuna on sale 5 cans for $3.00. Now that's a special.

But the funniest time was when I'm on line and and I happen to glance at the

person on line in front of me and I could not believe what she had in her cart.

I had to actually count the amount of beef.

She had 15 steads, a thousand pounds of chopped meat (I'm kidding but believe me

it was quite a bit), all kinds of mac and cheese boxes, ALL KINDS OF PACKAGED

COOKIES, etc. etc.

Not one fresh item, not one GREEN item WHATSOEVER.

I think I remarked " Wow, you must have a big family?? " and she said " you have no

idea " .

Indeed!!!!
