  1. Maybe another two weeks and I can shop here all by myself. For now, I just sit in the car.

    Golden Gate is my favorite location. Access is easy if you can do a mild incline. A large part of the clientele has mobility problems anyway, so they're used to it in there. Starbucks nearby. 👍

    I've found that all the supermarkets offer big service. They will do what's needed to make your trip a success.

  7. Supermarket Haiku Sweep Friday Special Extravaganza! 🛒🏪✒️

    As Rebecca Black so famously sung: “It’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday!” And, indeed, therefore we’re covering supermarkets for our first Haiku Friday of 2026.

    We all know and love supermarkets! Aldi, Asda, Tesco, M&S, Netto etc. They’re great and have loads of food in them that goes to waste and gets chucked in bins to rot. Thus, let’s get poetic about it.

    Supermarket Haiku Special

    Getting Lost in the Supermarket

    Oh my god where the Hell am I?
    It feels like I might well die,
    When all I wanted was to buy a big old pork pie.

    Consumerist Clubcard Loyalty

    Clubcard in my hand,
    This microwave pasta cheese meal is only £1 bargain bargain bargain,
    Stuffed it down me pants and legged it from store.

    Finding the Reduced to Clear Section

    Where in the Hell is the reduced to clear section?
    This is as infuriating as a rigged election,
    Or your bins not being picked up for collection.

    Buying From the Reduced to Clear Section

    Oh my god I want cheap foodstuff goods,
    Oh look there are some super reduced spuds,
    Which I’ve now shoplifted with some Suds.

    Shopping in the Upper-Class Supermarket

    Buying extra expensive goods because I worked hard enough,
    No working-class scumbags in here praise God,
    Sneer at pathetic cashier on way out.

    Shopping in the Low-Budget Supermarket

    Got 300 tins of baked beans for 35p,
    Gonna cook ’em all up in a load of ghee,
    That’s really going to make me need to pee.

    Shoplifting at the Supermarket

    Using free will to shoplift at the supermarket,
    Stuffed 20 bags of Maltesers up me jumper,
    Told the staff I’ve got leprosy.

    Ramming Customers With a Trolley

    Stupid fellow customers get out of my way,
    Otherwise I’m going to make you bloody pay,
    That’ll really make my day.

    Using the Free Supermarket Toilets

    Jesus Christ what the hell is that?
    And why does it stink so bad?
    I should have just gone in my shopping bag.

    Using the Self-Checkout Till

    Using free will at the self-checkout till,
    But pretty sure something’s wrong with my bill,
    And the customer service assistant’s name is Phil.

    Item Not Scanning at the Self-Checkout Till

    I’ve tried scanning this bag of peas 35 times,
    I’m trying not to look totally pissed off,
    Angry customers waiting are flipping me off.

    Being Forced to Make Small Talk With the Cashier

    Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep,
    “Cold for this time of year, is not it”,
    Bleep-bleep-bleep-bleep-bleep.

    Asking an Employee for Help

    “Excuse me, shopkeep, but where are the ice bags?”
    Employee does not know,
    Complain to the manager.

    Customer Blocking the Aisle With Trolley and Kids

    The trolley is there and so are the screaming kids,
    I wanted to get Skittles this fine day but can’t,
    Starve to death.

    Screaming Babies in the Supermarket

    Why are all these babies screaming in the supermarket?
    Shouldn’t they be in baby school?
    Or are they here shoplifting?

  8. #GasPrices were $4.29, some higher at $4.57 but it was clear $4.19 was supposed to be cheap. This was true in northern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. But over the years I got my favorite spots, where I bought at $4.02 & $3.99 (PA & NJ respectively).
    Last #CampingTrip, I got gas for $3.69 if not less.
    (When the nearest grocery [sorry, "supermarket"] is 25 minutes each way, you start thinking gas cost.)

    #FoodMax is my fave & go-to #supermarket.

    Bought 2 pkgs of point cut corned beef (about 3.75# @) for just $1.99/# on St. Patty's Day

    I only buy things that spot on sale at #Safeway, #Raleys & #Luckys. Mentioned to you recently, that U bought 4 doz eggs on sale at Raley's for just $10.

    Seldom shop at #GroceryOutlet because their product selection is so limited & changes so often but I do buy things there occasionally

    The best deal I saw there last was boxed mac & cheese for just $1/box. Bought 5 of them.

  15. An anecdote to see if this is part of a big pattern driven by capitalist greed.

    I eat a lot of #Carman's Classic Fruit and Nut Toasted #Muesli. I'd been buying it from Coles and felt the fruit-and-nut content had diminished a little recently.

    Then, a week or so back, I bought a bag from #Supabarn in Lyneham (née IGA) and was surprised how very fruity it was. I bought another bag from them today, and it was the same (quite possibly the same batch).

    This got me wondering.

    Given how #Coles and #Woolworths squeeze producers, are there some products for which the producers use the same packaging to produce a good version for general retail and a less good version to sell to the supermarkets so the can retain a margin? If I shop elsewhere, will I find that the fish in tins of tuna (which I only buy for someone else) aren't always now 50% water?
