Dollarama...
you know, those are the best places to shop.
I made myself look silly once when I went to "Everything a Dollar" store
Went to checkout and asked, how much is this?
quantities
lol! :laugh: I'm sure you're not the first one to ask that, though. :)
I'm usually a "I'm shopping for this specific thing I came to buy, and I very rarely even stop and look at anything else." kind of shopper, but for some reason when I'm in the dollar stores I'm happily looking at everything, going from aisle to aisle. There's a surprising amount of good stuff there.
Amounts...
buying in bulk
Was looking for my sunglasses once while driving, then it was pointed out I had them on......
Oh I got stories then, some might think I shouldn't be out of the house.:)
Stock up...
Well, it's the sunglasses fault, they shouldn't have been hiding out on your eyes like that! :laugh::laugh::laugh:
My sunglasses spend much more time lost than they do on my eyes. Sometimes I've been looking for them, and they're on top of my head, which is embarrassing, to say the least. :red:
Hoarding
Now, I take a shopping list to keep me from buying something twice. Might not sound to bad but when you get home.....Now how did I do that?
Hoarding reminds me of Y2K. Everybody stocked up on canned stuff. Weirdly enough, I don't remember hearing anything about anyone hoarding toilet paper, like they did last year. :laugh:
The grocery list works well if I remember to take it to the store with me...instead of leaving it home on the shelf. :laugh:
Shopping is a lonely experience lately. We're still on the one person per household thing, due to covid.
Y2K failed impressions
I still have no idea why it was so important to hoard toilet paper.....
We did see a woman at the grocery once with a cart full. The look on her face was one of, don't touch my stuff.
Nonevent...
I didn't get it either. I read an article online, titled something along the lines of "The Psychology of Why People are Buying Toilet Paper during The Pandemic." last year. I'm not so sure it made it clearer to me.
