“Sigh! Another week – another weekly food shop!”
“Food shopping – what a drag”
Is this how you feel?
It’s how I was feeling last week when I approached the supermarket.
So I tried something a little bit different instead. I challenge you to do the same too!
* SHOPPING CHALLENGE *
Try starting at the far side of the supermarket and working your way back around to the fruit and veg isle. I tried this today and observed the following benefits:
1) Working against the traffic meant that I did not get caught waiting behind people. – other customers could see me coming and so moved out of my way.
2) My fruit, veg and bread did not get squashed.
3) I noticed new products that I do not normally see.
4) I took more notice of my shopping list as it did not feel as though I could do this shop on auto pilot -therefore I did not put things in my trolley just because I normally do, only if I needed them!
5) I ended up near to the less busy tills
6) I ended up nearer to the exit doors.
7) It made my shop a little less boring!
I know not all supermarkets are laid out the same, so I’d be interested to know if you try this what your findings are and which Supermarket you used.
*HAPPY SHOPPING!*
Oh, and one more little tip – I also found out (having no suitable change in my purse and just a Euro in my car) that a 1 Euro coin will fit in the trolley at my local supermarket. It’s now going to be kept in the car for the weekly shop!
