Thread Name: BS: Supermarkets, self check out and online
Subject: RE: BS: Supermarkets, self check out and online
I'm sure they are Dave. And living as we do in quite an isolated village, it would save us oodles of petrol and time getting our groceries online. And budgeting is easier, as one can keep an eye on the total, knock things off the order and have an 'overall view' of the spend.

But there are so many things I love about physically visiting a supermarket:-

There's often a charity collector/raffle in the doorway and we like to contribute.(Help For Heroes, Cat Charities, Homeless Night Shelter etc)

My husband loves to help really elderly folk with loading their stuff into their car boot.

I like to browse the clothes/housewares

I prefer to inspect the fresh produce before buying it. (And pick the stuff with the latest 'best by' date on!)

We love the drive there, through lovely countryside, rather than staying at home hunched over the laptop.

My husband likes to select one of his many Premier League football tops in which to strut about the aisles. People often stop him and chat about football. They little suspect that he supports ALL the teams!
