My wife was a 5-foot, red headed Irish gal.  I learned straight-a-way that talking back to her was an invitation for dismemberment.

That's if you dont just order the stuff on the app and pick it up curbside or have it delivered.

 

Those that can order their grocery stuff on a app are much more organized and rigid in their needs than I am.  I still like walking the aisles and letting my gray matter interact with what I see and detirmine what I actually want to purchase on any particular trip.

I've been told that at some stores if you order X and they don't have it in stock, they'll sometimes up-substitute with something of higher quality.  Can't vouch for that.

I used to send the kids out with the list and my debit card.  They usually did a pretty good job.

Now I know why Sears failed--about 55 years ago, I lived 55 miles south of Jackson, Miss; one day I drove up (I did have another reason for going up), and bought a vacuum cleaner. I felt I could afford only the cheapest model, but when I opened the box back home, I found a nodel that cost more. The next time I had occasion to drive up, I took that cleaner back, and told a clerk that someone had made a mistake--and he told me that they were out of the boxed model I had asked for, and so I was sold the more expensive one for the same price as the one I thought I was buying.

Also, many years later, I bought a pruning clipper; when it stopped working, I took it back, expecting to trade for a new one of the same model--and I was given, in exchange, a new one that was better than the first one.
