In my three years of the every-few-days trip to Woolies, I've realised a small pleasure in life is not only being able to walk up to the self-service in the corner, but also the joy of looking down and thinking "that's some good shopping. Great shopping."
For me, I end up going shopping probably twice a week and spending about $35 each time. My favourite times to go are Tuesday at about 3pm, and Saturdays around 10. Dead. Plenty of stuff left. Some good specials. You have time to wander and think without any pressure, and I seem less inclined to forget things.
But I'm curious as to what constitutes a good shop for people? What are the staples and the things people rarely buy, sometimes buy, and never even consider. Your favourite aisle? Your little rat tactics? Do you rip off the weighing system? Do you move frontwards or backwards when someone walks down the aisle while you're sussing things out?
