Getting FIREd up 😀

You've probably had enough of the shopping debate but I am also #teamshallow because I'm short.  I think I remember seeing on some TV program years ago that they brought in the shallow trollies specifically for women as we were all getting issues with our pelvic floor from having to bed over continuously into the deep trollies 😂  I'm also a scan as you shop person because I hate interacting with people so I get in and out and don't have to talk to anyone.  Also allows me to pack my bags as I go (DH moans at me about how I have to have the bags in a certain order!)

I'm also looking forward to the payday shuffle next week - have been particularly good with my spending this month so hoping it can continue into next month too.

Am I the only person on here that's average height 🤣🤣🤣???

Totally with you on not interacting with people though, I make enough banal conversation with strangers during working hours!

Shallow trolleys and scan-as-you-shop for me too, although I am relatively tall (which actually makes it worse having to bend down into a really deep trolley, I swear! )

South_coast

That makes perfect sense - you've got further to go 😀!

KP, I've just done a survey about ice cream 🍦!

(Actually, I got screened out - BUT IT WAS ABOUT ICE CREAM 🍨🍦🍨🍦!!!)

I'm average height SC, you're not alone. But I rarely go to a supermarket needing enough for a trolley, so it's a basket for me most of the time.

I take that back - according to this article from 2010, at 5'5" I'm apparently tall! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11534042

"The ONS also revealed the five grocery items most likely to be in the average shopping basket - a two-pint carton of semi-skimmed milk, a pack of sliced ham, a box of breakfast cereal, some bacon and a bar of milk chocolate."

Sounds like a party!

Or a perfectly normal work event?

No @Chiglepig, there's no wine or cheese in there... it can't be a work party, wine is compulsory! (As are fridges to keep the wine in!)
