Grocery Store Grind: Lost In The Supermarket By The Clash


Whenever it's the end of the month, our hard-earned salaries often goes to paying the bills as well as other needs in the house.  One of those needs of course, is food and other stuff that you use up month after month. When you're cupboard is bare, it's time to head to the supermarket to get those necessities now that they're gone.  Sometimes grocery shopping can be just as exhausting as any workout.  This is why I am using the song "Lost In The Supermarket" by The Clash for this post.

If you want to make sure you have the supermarket all to yourself, the best time to go there is around 10:00 am because that when it just opens.  Make sure you list everything down and that you have the right amount of money with you (better to bring more than less just in case).  When start getting your items, immediately cross out out the ones that are in your cart or basket to save time.  When you have everything, go immediately to the check-out counter and pay up and make sure you have your discount card or any card that would lessen the amount of money that you would pay.  If you do all that, you can get home in no time flat.

Sadly, there are times when that doesn't happen.  A lot of times, I go there when the traffic and the supermarket is packed to the brim.  Even if there's a list, some items are often not listed.  Then there's the long lines as well was the cashiers who sometimes has to double which items have discounts.  The worse in the scenario is when you forget some of the items, you have to go back out there and buy especially when they're needed for dinner etc.  Now which of these two do you happens more frequently is up to you to decide.
