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.

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.

Paint roller and liquids.

I often wonder what on earth prompts the thought process of dropping an item of shopping so impulsively, this is no exception to that rule. You're suddenly walking down an aisle full of washing powders and fabric conditioners when you suddenly realise that you don't in fact need to paint the bedroom, what you really need to do is to wash the kids' school uniforms, and ensure that they smell like someone's thrashed them to within an inch of their lives with a lavender switch!!

Burgers and ?

I am not quite sure which items have been "randomly shopped" here, but I am sure there's some element of tomfoolery abound. To the best of my knowledge, the bagels, the fruit and malt loaves, and possibly even the soft flour tortillas are all on a special buy-one-get-one-for-free (BOGOF) offer. Undoubtedly, the speedy snacks flame grilled beef burgers (despite being labelled BOGOF) should be in a refrigerated compartment somewhere. Top marks to this random shopper for creating such confusion.

Potato salad and Nice biscuits

It's a Tesco bonanza. Not only was this lovely pot of potato salad discarded amongst the non-refrigerated shelves, thus diminishing its product shelf life, but they actually chose to put it with Nice biscuits. They could, of course have opted to leave it with Prince Charles' lovely posh biscuits, but no, Tesco brand Nice!! Classy shoppers!!

Lollies and Clubs

Seldom do you find a better example of random shopping than this one. Iced lollies blatantly dumped amongst a batch of chocolate covered biscuits. I can only imagine the lure of a two for one deal on the orange Club biscuits prompted some young child to discard of the lollies in favour of the chocolatey treats. Imagine the mess as those gelatinous melted lollies begin to ooze out of the box and down the shelves. Serious product compromisation!! Top marks.

Shirt in the freezer

This one was sent to me by a fellow "random shop watcher". It's a shirt, which for some reason was discarded amongst pizza bases, cheeses, and goodness knows what else.... They even went to the trouble of hanging the bloody thing up. Some people amaze me.

Marmite and Jaffa Cakes

No special offers to contend with here..... Just a jar of Marmite.... Oh my God... Mini Jaffa Cakes.... They're not cakes, they're bloody biscuits..... Just ask the VAT man, he will know what I mean, even if you're too stupid to get it.

Lunch with Wine

Shall I have a glass of wine with my lunch? Maybe I should have a bottle? Wait, the Kumala Zenith Merlot Pinotage Shiraz in both white and red is on half price.... If I skip the food, I can have a bottle of each! Bollocks, I'm gonna take them all....

Chinese Chicken Wraps and Asparagus with Razors

Chinese chicken wraps on special reduction, and a nice bunch of asparagus, were both hastily discarded amongst the disposable Bics. I can only imagine our hirsute shopper needed a shave more than a hearty meal.

Tuna and Breakaway

I will never cease to be amazed at the discerning shopper's eye for a bargain.... away with the Tuna Crunch (wtf?) on special reduced offer, and a BOGOF (Buy One Get One Free) chocolate biscuit attack.... a much sweeter lunch!

Gingerbread on Ham

I've heard of "ham on rye" but I've never heard of "gingerbread on ham". A truly bizarre concoction that I can only shake my head in disbelief, at the shopper that thought this one up.

Hotpot, a Game, and Aunt Bessie's

I think I will have a beef hotpot and a game of Pro Evolution Soccer on my Playstation 2.... No, wait just a cotton picking minute, those Aunt Bessie yorkshire puddings look good..... Bollocks to football!!

Cucumber and Crackers

What could be nicer on a hot summer's day, than a few cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off.... no wait.... I think I will have some Cream Crackers instead. Poor old cucumber.

Special Offer

Ok.... A tin of sweetcorn of the Green Giant variety, some chopped tomatoes, and some tinned fried onions - The person involved in this must have been in for a royal feast.... until they found the chocolate biscuits!!
