Shopping List (forgetful?)

It's been a while since I've featured a shopping list, and it's been a while since I picked this particular one up.... I think it was from Sainsbury's but I couldn't hazard a guess at when it was.

Things of immediate interest:
  • Lovely little notelet pad (lined and spiral bound).

  • Great abbreviation of broccoli to "broc".

  • The list is so bloody short that you have to wonder whether they ought to be including some fish or omega 3 capsules to help their brain function properly. I mean, come on, did it really warrant a list? Thankfully, it seemingly did!!

Jammy Donut Jammie Dodgers

Oddly enough, this random shopping crime scene is made extraordinary through the very fact that these jam-filled, store baked donuts, come in packs of four or more.......

It therefore beggars my belief that someone would simply opt to leave a single donut amongst the Mini Jammie Dodgers.....

More disturbing than the fact that someone has blatantly violated their multipack of deep fried, sugar coated pastries (or are they breads?) is the fact that my childhood nostalgic biscuit treats (the Jammie Dodger) has been sullied by being forced into:
a) Mini versions.
b) Berrilicious version!?!

Mexican and Marmite

A beautifully incompatible collection of goods thrown together by some deranged random shopper. Imagine.... Marmite.... peanut butter..... chilli style beans..... all washed down with an Old El Paso Mexican meal kit.

I can only hope that the shopper in question was a little light in their pocket, and decided that they couldn't afford the luxury of the spread you love or hate and/or the lovely SunPat Crunchy Peanut Butter..... as for the Chilli style beans...... I'd have thought it would have worked with the kit, but then maybe all the spices and stuff were included?

Hope it turned out ok for them.... personally, I'd have stuck with the Marmite and the P.B.

Mixed bag in Cat Biscuits

A rather eclectic mix abandoned amongst the pet products. I can only imagine that the items that are discarded are some sort of hangover cure, perhaps? There's a white bloomer (loaf of bread to the uninitiated; a pack of Co-op own brand paracetamol; some Ocean Spray Cranberry Classic juice.

I have to assume that the offending, hungover, random shopper's conscience was pricked when they realised they only had enough money left in their pockets to feed their animals, and they'd simply have to endure their headache after all.... either that or take a trip to a cash machine?

Note: I think that actually the card machines at the tills were not working and they were accepting cash only, so perhaps it was a panic stricken shopper who simply didn't have the means to pay for their shopping??
