I’m An Attack Shopper

I don’t mess about shopping and especially where groceries are concerned.

Take this morning, which as I’m going to football at Ipswich this afternoon, was very much a small weekly shop for my staples and supper tonight.

My local Waitrose in Islington opens at 08:00 on a Saturday, with the Sainsburys next door opening an hour early. Because too, of the dreadful news from Australia, I decided to go as early as possible and left my house at 07:40. I didn’t buy much as the picture shows.

The Spoils Of My Attack

I did have to go to both stores, as Waitrose don’t sell my favourite Genius bread.

I don’t know when we started doing our shopping early on a Saturday morning, but this behaviour of a direct and early Saturday morning raid on the shops, was very much part of our married life.

The one difference, is that I use a list and C rarely did.

I tend to behave in the same way with IKEA.  I needed some small pieces yesterday, so as I had nothing to do yesterday afternoon, except read the Internet or the Standard, I went to their store in Edmonton, reading the paper on the way.

Some might find this very much obsessive behaviour, but I do like to maximise the use of my time.

On the trip to football today, I’ll be reading the paper again and doing some difficult Sudokus.
