Shopping list (abbreviations)

I love the keeper of this shopping list. Their abbreviations are great, and I spent a good while cracking their code.... F. Peas = frozen peas.... T.C.Toms = Tinned chopped tomatoes etc etc.... lots of fun. I particularly like the appearance on this list of "Fish?" - Can't make my mind up, but I'll put it on the list and see if anything takes my fancy..... I think judging by the amount of meat on their list they either need lots of fish or a colonic irrigation!! Note also the addition of the item "oven gloves" - how lovely!! I was worried that, because they didn't add "P.T.O." at the end of the list that they forgot "creme fraiche" and "tarragon" though!!

White Wine with Mayo

Oh, it's so classically Tescos. A bumper bargain jar of Hellman's mayo, dumped, unceremoniously, amongst the cheap Italian Pinot Grigot!! The amount of random shopping that occurs amongst the aisles full of booze are endless.... people must suddenly realise that they'd rather get slaughtered than make that giant chicken and mayonnaise sandwich after all.

Pepperoni and Muesli Bars

A bizarre combination right there. Fine sliced Italian salami sausage, ditched amongst the muesli bars.... you know the kind of bar.... they're meant to be healthy... they look healthy, they're packaged to look healthy, but they're chock full of enough calories and sugar and salt and fat to actually warrant them being labelled as "meal replacement" bars. I can only imagine that the lure of saving a quid on the "Kellog's multigrain oat bake choc" offer meant that they didn't really need a pizza or antipasti after all. I know which I would prefer.... if I wasn't vegetarian of course... in fact, I wouldn't want either!!

Handwash and Olive Oil

A Sainsbury's random shopping incident is quite rare. Their shelf stackers are far too diligent to allow this sort of behaviour to represent the norm at their stores. This incidence is pleasing in so much that both items are quite luxurious..... I mean, liquid hand soap (Pure Calm scented) and extra virgin olive oil?? A rich random shopper.....? I like the thought. One extra special feature of this shot is that, uncharacteristically for Sainsbury supermarkets, the olive oil actually appears to be in the wrong place (the shelf relates to "rich and fruity" brand, but that's not what's in the bottles).
