When the trip to the supermarket is the most productive thing you do all day...

... supermarket finds suddenly become the highlight of your day (excluding your husband getting home from work - obvs!). 

I'm not sure if it's just because we have gotten so used to just ordering from Ocado/Waitrose and it's actually been ages since I have had a proper wander around a supermarket, but some of the stuff you can buy is amazing! Fun finds include: 

  • Teabags - eggnog flavour anyone?! I have also found red velvet flavour and black forest flavour - which both sound delicious too. 
  • Reese's Pieces cereal - I think Bruce will judge me if I actually buy this 
  • Whipped peanut butter and chocolate in one - completely delicious 
  • Jelly instead of jam (guava jelly is yum)
  • Jello 
  • Really cool pink and white striped milk cartons - but apparently some of the milk starts out as skimmed milk, and then to get it up to the required fat content, they add vegetable oil - yuck! 
  • An extensive selection of baked bean varieties - mostly including some type of bacon, but you can also buy honey baked beans, which sounds weird! 
  • Appetizers for your cat - I thought the steamed tilapia sounded (and smelled) really nice, but Daisy and Bert weren't that keen. They quite like wild salmon florentine though!
There's also a LOT of out of date stuff on the shelves, so if you aren't careful, you buy ridiculously overpriced stuff that's already out of date. It's also funny what they don't have in stock - on a Monday, there is never any chicken available.
