I look more rad than Lutheranism

Whereas she has a LIST, of things she NEEDS, and is planning to USE in a MEAL.

I also make my list out by the order of aisles in the store, and then make a note next to something if we have a coupon for it.

No, really.

I'm only a tiny bit ashamed.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

When I was living in Philly, I would get just a little bit hyper when visiting Australia and going to a supermarket. I'd be bouncing around the aisles thinking "My friends! I haven't seen you in SO LONG! Ooh, Tim Tams come in Kahlua flavour now!"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I also make my list out by the order of aisles in the store, and then make a note next to something if we have a coupon for it.

I am in complete awe of this.

I also get completely overwhelmed by too many choices. It's why I don't shop in large stores if I can avoid it - I can lose hours and still leave with nothing, or something I'm vaguely dissatisfied with.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I also make my list out by the order of aisles in the store, and then make a note next to something if we have a coupon for it.

I do this (my phone does it for me) and only get the things on the list and still a trip to the grocery store takes me two hours no matter how short the list is. ISTG I can go in for three things, go right to them and not look at anything else, and somehow when I get home it's two hours after I left.

I am an efficient BADASS in the store. I would run people down with the cart if Tim would let me.

But if I were all efficient like that I wouldn't find new favorite things! Like the other day I went to Whole Foods just for kicks, and ended up with this stuff "Indianlife Dal Mix" and it is ADDICTIVELY GOOD (and gluten-free!) Just because I was wandering down the snack aisle and deciding the dried kale was way too expensive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Although I assume cinq is the French five, yes?

Yes. But you can't bet on the other numbers working--CINQ gets through on a card game pass.

If my phone knew the aisles in my stores, that could help. I do try and use a list, but I shop at three different stores, so mapping by aisles is really not going to work.

But I don't buy much at all--I only shop a little in advance for everything but the easy stuff, the cereals and juices.

I would recommend my shopping app as it can track aisles and prices in multiple stores, but it's WebOS and I don't think that does anyone but me any good.

Eta: speaking of being overwhelmed with choices, do I want a cup of tea, some hot chocolate, or water? I'm pretty sure I want to drink something.

What's the app, -t?
