Actually no, I bought a copy of the Observer and a bottle of chocolate milk. Yum.

― Tom, Sunday, 22 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

fucking typos - you all know it was the much-less interesting frozen and fries - though what is the sound of one pizza topping?

― Geoff, Sunday, 22 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

― Kate the Saint, Monday, 23 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Mmm, Special Brew. Ever since All Nite Sainsbury's opened under our flat we can stagger in there for food when drunk so most of the stuff I buy there tends to be coke (to go with rum), quiche (my new favourite thing to eat when pissed), chicken drumsticks and tortilla chips.

― Emma, Monday, 23 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Saturday, 23 August 2003 15:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Fresh produce, fresh meat, usually cheese, often bread, generally soy milk and possibly cream, Snyder's pretzels. It depends, though -- we live so near so many grocery stores that there's always one on the way home from anywhere, which means a lot of "oh, you know, I wouldn't mind a nectarine" or "want me to make garlic bread tonight?" quickstops.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 23 August 2003 15:21 (twenty-three years ago)

(For instance, I'm going today just to get tortillas, sour cream, and fresh chiles and queso chihuahua if I can find them.)

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 23 August 2003 15:21 (twenty-three years ago)

― Carey (Carey), Saturday, 23 August 2003 15:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh yeah, and the current grocery list has "bagels" on it because I'd bought cream cheese to put on Pepperidge Farms' vanilla French toast bread, and now the girlfriend wants "bagels." She's from the northwest so doesn't have the same standard for real bagels I do. I wrote down "bagels" in quotes, and keep pronouncing the quotes, because I'm a dick.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 23 August 2003 16:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Today I bought crisps, chocolate, orange squash, orange juice, ice lollies, lasagne. That's a bit heavy on the snacky stuff and light on the meals, compared to standard.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 23 August 2003 17:29 (twenty-three years ago)

orangina, kimchee ramen bowl. its all i got because i ended up at this organic grocery store by accident, and couldn't find anything i wanted. a bottle of organic cranberry juice was 9 bucks!

I did well. Red pesto, tomato & marscapone sauce, penne, Irn-Bru, haddock chowder, long beans, milk, Cinnamon Grahams, eggs, Lancashire cheese, Cumberland sausages, tissues, Euthyjmol toothpaste & some other miscellaneous stuff. It was kinda nerve-racking but enjoyable nonetheless.

― David. (Cozen), Saturday, 23 August 2003 17:52 (twenty-three years ago)

I should really just get a bar beer cooler. I only use the beverages in my fridge. Soda, water, beer, sometimes juice. That and frozen diet meals are the only staples i need. Everything else is takeout.

okay it may not have been 7 tins of spam, but it was definitely more than two, and the numbers on everything else are accurate.

also, he bought some paper towels but those weren't as funny as the other items, but I'm including them now in the interest of full disclosure.

― kyle (akmonday), Saturday, 4 March 2006 03:29 (twenty years ago)

also maybe the mac and cheese thing was just a recipie on the back of a regular package of spam, I didn't flip it over to see, I was too busy vomiting

I discovered from a roommate at ALA that saltines are very salty and go well with beer. Unfortunately, I did not buy beer.

― youn (youn), Monday, 24 July 2006 22:18 (twenty years ago)

At the regular supermarket, I got onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, bananas, a cantaloupe, a 12-pack of diet store-brand soda, a tub of margarine, a 1/2 gallon of 1% milk, whole wheat bread, corn tortillas, a dozen eggs, weiners, a box of Crispix cereal, a bottle of (hot) salsa, paper towels, dog food, dog treats, a bottle of dishwashing liquid, some deodorant spray, and a filter for the air conditioner. You have to replace those once a month while the a/c runs. And at the warehouse store I got ground beef, pork chops, and sausage, meaning I don't have to spend on meat for a good month and a half.
