Baffled by choice?

I_luv_cats

What grocery products (in-store/online) do you find the selection mind boggling?

Myself:

(1) Coffee, (instant and filter) OMG there are so many:eek:

(2) Brown Sugar, which one for my coffee?

none. But I like variety.

I do too but especially with coffee, it can be a difficult choice.

Though an offer might turn my head.

(samples can be handy)

I eat organic or wild or at least additive free, so that limits my choices. However, I feel it's worth doing for my health. I have diabetes so I low carb too which keeps me off stronger meds. Finding bargains is harder but I do find them.

I would like to find an organic pickle as good as Branston, and an organic piccalilli as good as Hayward's for OH.

never. You can never have to many different types of yoghurt.

Better to have loads of choices that increase the chance that you'll find something you like rather than few choices of which you don't like any.

Non - in fact despite the apparent choice I often can't find what I want - I can get potato processed into a myriad of forms but often no king edwards, 30 'flavours' of rice to boil in the bag or heat in the microwave but no brown basmati to cook in a pan, 100s of types of tea in different shaped bags with this that and the other flavour added but no decent leaf tea.

Water. Especially when we have lovely stuff out of the tap around here. Seriously, how much can they sell to need so many brands?

Far too much choice of just about everything, and far too much junk food. Not enough choice of vegetables. and healthy food.
