Supermarket Routine

There are times when I go food shopping and just get the basics for my family and try to get in and out as fast as I can (usually when I have the kids with me)!! Other times I like to take my time, planning new meals and picking up treats.

So, what are some of your staple items when shopping for groceries? Is
there something that you 'have' to get for your partner/kids? What do
you think about organic products? Let me know your regime.

I agree with you about nagging kids. Grandma always told my nieces that we already had some home. She stocked up on "healthy" treats when they weren't with her. Some foods considered healthy then aren't now. Lollies were rationed.
We bought the ones with low sugar content but they both knew they had a daily ration. Our most embarrassing event was when we were putting the hsopping on the checkout and the little one sitting in the seat of the trolley leant over, pushed buttons on the cash register and it came open because it wasn't locked. Fortunately it didn't have any cash in it. Apparently she had done it to her Mother so after that both parents went shopping they emptied the trolley at the end of the checkout, one pushed it through right to the other end and started re-loading it while the rest was being processed. When we told her parents because we hadn't been warned, the reply was, "yes we know about that". Mother's reply to that was that they could have warned us. Apparently she had managed to push buttons on one with the checkout girl standing it there. Very few people had computers back then.
