KY is better than vaseline for making strangers blush, now that supermarkets sell all the durex "play" range the world is your oyster 🙂

the one i've always wanted to do is fill up the trolly, get to the check-out and load it all up carefully...

then as they finish running it all through, ask what the price is...

"that'll be 134pounds sir"
"hmmm i thought so"

and walk off.

alternatively

"that'll be 134pounds sir"
"ahh cool, i dont think i'll go for them, just wanted to check as nothing seems to have prices on the boxes in this shop!"

and walk off.

My current pet hate with supermarkets is the rationing of carrier bags. I do actually have reusable bags but sometimes forget them or go shopping straight from work etc. so need carrier bags. In Tesco at least they don't put them out anymore instead you get the checkout person take a quick look at your shopping and hand you one or two bags (when in fact you have a full trolley's worth) so you then have to keep asking for more as though you're committing some evil sin. Gah just give me the friggin bags :p Oh and it's now also a PITA that I've run out of old carrier bags in my house so am stuffed the odd time I need one (chucking muddy gear in or something) so now have to use bin liners which probably use 10x the amount of plastic. I guess they'll start selling packs of carrier bags soon...

I need a lemon and some nicotine gum.

Can I go to the supermarket for this?

Tell me, Elf, why didn't you make it to day 5?

Biohazard in Dairy...

Vaseline, Condoms.

Vaseline and latex don't mix; petroleum jelly degrades the rubber. Use a water-based lubricant such as KY instead.

So, if you ever find yourself in a situation where such things may come in handy, you'll know what to do...

LiDLs has always done this; helps keep prices down and cuts down on waste.

Thanks Elfin. But which till should I use? I've lost all confidence in my own ability to visit a supermarket. I don't want to offend anyone.

Yeh, my council won't let us put stuff in the bin unless it's bagged up. Currently reuse the sainsbo's bags but soon enough they'll be charging - no greener, just more profitable

Of course. Makes me laugh when supermarkets go on about being all nice and caring. They don't do owt unless they can see profit and/or publicity in it for themselves. Bastards.
