To add insult to injury, I have to spend an inordinate amount of time walking up and down the aisles, looking for things which are sometimes misplaced, mispriced or outdated. Have you noticed food containers of almost every kind seem to have gotten smaller or else whatever is inside is less, but somehow the prices have gone up? Now we’re paying more for less. Sometimes you have to use your CSI skills to find what you are looking for. Last month I spent three separate trips looking for Sabbath candles. Ordinarily I would think, you’d find them in the section where kosher items are stocked. But no, they weren’t there. Then I looked where you would find dinner candles. But no, they weren’t there either. I happened to look for light bulbs one time, and there they were with the bulbs. Of course!!! They give off light! Any idiot would have made that connection, but since I’m not an idiot, I couldn’t find them Those extra big super-saver supermarkets are the best to complain about. One lap and it’s a week’s worth of exercise. Sometimes I go very dressed up, because with all the food samples which are doled out, it’s like dining out. I always told my husband that if he ever decided to divorce me, don’t bother with a lawyer, just put me on a subway train. I don’t know one train from another. I’d be so “farblunget” that he’d never see me again. I now take that back. Just leave me in one of those super-sized stores. I’d get lost… but at least I’d be fed! Don’t you love the coupons? The last time I went shopping, my bill was $175.34. After the big savings on my coupons, the total came to $205.52 cents. How did that happen? The worst thing about shopping is lugging the food home and finding a place to put it. I usually go to the store with a list which fits on a small Post-It, but the flyer has so much in it that I wind up needing two carts. No, I take all that back. The worst thing about shopping is now I have to cook!!! February 2017 ¢ NORTH SHORE TOWERS COURIER 19
