Grocery shopping (& Consumer Reports)

'twas a lovely rant, Steve!

Sometimes, for me, there's the thrill of the hunt--finding good stuff, on sale, even if it's just eggs. It's almost an atavistic feeling, like I'm doing the gathering for my family.

The funniest thing, I think, is people randomly wandering the aisles (mostly men, sorry guys) talking on their cell phones. Do we have sugar? What kind of oil should I buy?

and Rich, I agree with you. Pay attention the marked prices and watch the ring up. One of the things that makes me mad is misleading sale labeling: In the wrong place, so you identify the wrong item as being on sale, or obscure conditions--yes, you really do have to buy 10 of those to get the discount price; that expired last week, etc.

And check your receipt before you leave the store!

Sigh. And now for the part I hate the most--UNLOADING!
